We were trained in graphic design school before computers came into the forefront of design. This was an asset as we learned the core basics skills; what makes a good layout, what colors are optimal for design and the history of typefaces. All of our knowledge comes from basic principles with paper, pencil and passion.
The letterforms on the left are hand-carved mahogany letters that we brought back from Barcelona, Spain. They remind us of the original components of print design that drives us to do what we do.... Great Design!
