I came back from RailsConf this year completely energized, there are just so many exciting things happening in the Rails community right now. There's simply no better time to be working with Rails! I'd been to the previous 3 RailsConfs, but this one really stood out for me. The event was punctuated by an outstanding closing keynote by the always energetic Gary Vaynerchuk!

I'm always super stoked when a logo project lands in my lap. Dreaming up the identity for a cool brand is every design nerd's dream project.

A rush job (like pretty much every design job— let's be serious), the Spree logo came at us fast and we took it on head first.

Why work with us? Because we’re good at what we do: Digital Strategy, Design and Technology. We have the success stories and awards to prove it. But we have learned that the reason people work with us is also because we are actually enjoyable to work with.
Yes, we work on computers - everyone works on computers - but we’re people who like to talk as much as we type. We connect over the net, and we connect through ideas. We’ll explain things clearly, we’ll develop the scope together, and we’ll celebrate our milestones with good wine.
There are enough assholes who do great work. To us, good relationships are just as important as good business opportunities. And when both are present, everybody wins - and the end product exceeds expectations.
Around the office, I am known as the 'Sharp Dressed Man.' Now thanks to our latest project for ALDO, I officially hold that title online as well.
A few weeks ago we released the latest campaign microsite called ALDO Cast of Characters. The concept was relatively simple: allow visitors to create 'casts' of their Facebook friends, assigning them each a role from ALDO's Spring/Summer campaign. The creativity and development required to pull it off, of course, was more complicated than it sounds.
