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.

Jazzlife, Taschen

/ Photography Monograph / 11.8 × 16.5” / 720 pages

Musicologist Joachim Berendt and photographer William Claxton hooked up in 1960 to tour the great jazz cities of America. This oversize edition (that includes CD) captures the audio, images and personal tales of the artists who devoted their lives to this great American art form. We worked alongside Bill and his wife Peggy Moffit to create what was a truly fitting legacy piece for his photographic life. Translations are included thoughout.
