A hot summer, two new brands, a site redesign and a whole gorgeous handful of passion projects. This is how we get through the year’s stickiest season.

Trying to balance work and life in a wounded world? A cat can help. Reflection too, and learning from/with friends.  

Spring’s in full swing and we’re riding the wave. Nermin’s got a whole new home, Kristin can’t seem to stop traveling, and we brought a friend on board to help us keep it all together.

Kristin came to Chicago for our annual intention setting and we were reminded, yet again, of the life-affirming, soul-stirring magic of sharing a little IRL time and space. Also we’ve been busy doing real cool stuff.

Nermin took a whirlwind trip to Egypt to visit one of the studio’s first clients. Travel with us as she shows us Cairo up close—the faces, sights, and sounds that left her breathless, and breathed new possibilities into the future.

It’s been a year, friends. We’ve got so much to be thankful for, to learn from, and to share. Walk with us a minute.

Like sands through the hourglass, friends. Before summer slips away, let us share a few seasonal highlights. Then come meet us out in the field — it promises to be an illuminating autumn.
