Since teaming in 1995, we’ve produced graphic design works for independent, non-profit and select corporate clients. Our identity systems rely on a unique web presence as the backbone of the brand. We develop database-backed websites with custom CMS implementations and specialized web-based apps. Whatever type of design we take on we’re looking for the unique voice of that project—and with Carrie coming at it from the art side and Ben the tech our combined forces are always able to find it. We think design lies not only in the visual but in the unseen structures that support it, both aspects keep us seeking the strongest solutions.

/ Painting Portfolio Website / HTML5, Ruby on Rails / Visit Site

Starting with a full screen blast of closeup texture, this portfolio site uses the square logotype area to house the navigation so that the visual field is kept clean, spare and white like the walls of a museum. Simple captioning and slideshow play button are the only other things on the page. The artist is able to upload new imagery and text through the simple, browser-based, backened interface.
