Wonderful to see Deborah and the whole Cowichan District Hospital Foundation team at their open house and BBQ yesterday! 🌭☀️ It was great to view the floor plans for the much-anticipated new hospital and chat about the critical access it will bring to the Cowichan community. A big thanks to the CDHF team for the burgers, sweet treats, and an afternoon of warm island sunshine.

Who remembers Dave? He was the good’est boy at the The Sidney Pier Hotel & Spa.
We had the privilege to work with the Pier team for a number of years prior to their opening. We designed promotional pieces for the hotel and spa. Anything with Dave was always extra fun!
On the back of this postcard reads: ‘Dave is a Black Labrador Retriever, and the Sidney Pier Hotel & Spa Canine Ambassador, who missed being a BC Guide Dog by a snout. Now, he brings his skills and passions to the talented Sidney Pier team. He’s highly trained at lounging in the lobby, walking hotel guests, and committed to his goal of making every guest smile.’
We’d sometimes see Dave leave the hotel on his own. We’d call the front desk to let them know Dave was on a walk-about in the park. Do you have a memory of Dave you’d like to share?

Logo Refresh Spotlight: Cottons and Blues

Before: A classic logo that’s seen decades of success.
After: A modern coastal-inspired design with bold blues and clean, contemporary typography that reflects the relaxed seaside lifestyle Cottons & Blues is known for.

The Cottons and Blues rebrand was all about celebrating their long-standing connection to the community while embracing a fresh perspective for the future. From denim-friendly styles (sizes 0-20) to coastal casual dresses and hemming services, their offerings continue to serve all ages, shapes, and sizes with pride.

Designing for a brand with such deep community roots was an honour—Cottons and Blues, here’s to the next 45 years!
