this week we’re covering some not-so-recent, recent work. consider it a throwback tuesday. grip the mat came to us in the very early stages of their business, as many of our clients do. while they needed the usual suite of brand collateral (logo, style guide, photography, website, pitch deck, etc.), they also needed a bottom-to-top...
with a mega-storm about to roll through d.c., we figured it was a good time for some snowspiration. these pics from self-taught farmer wilson “snowflake” bentley – who took his first photograph in 1885 – represent a few things we love: entrepreneurship, noticing the details, negative space, and clean lines. all his images are public domain,...

design/miami entrance pavilion, harvard gsd sooo we went to art basel miami and…. our minds got blown. we’ll admit not knowing what to expect, but within a serious of hot moments found ourselves doing some serious fangirl-ing. there was sitting next to the -ahem- one and only zaha hadid just casually to seeing jean prouve’s...
