Our work is as varied as our influences. We've got half our heart in Chino, the other half in Fort Wayne, a playlist full of Save Ferris and Kanye West, and a portfolio stuffed with client work and our own projects.
Whatever we do, we approach it with the idea that interesting beats expected, safe is boring, and limitations are opportunities, not excuses.
For 2015, our Valentine's are inspired by one of the greatest American songwriters (that's not a joke), Mr. James Buffett.

Aunt Millie's wanted to get the word out about the benefits of bread, so we loaded up the Rav4 and headed to Chicago to turn a nutritionist's kitchen into a studio. Then, we turned that conversation into a microsite full of everything you've ever wanted to know about bread."
Our first crack at Valentine's cards, featuring Richard M. Nixon, Sally Draper, and the difficult process of scheduling emotional breakdowns.
