Each year our studio gets to update the visuals for the annual event hosted by Cornell Entrepreneurship Program in NYC at the Cornell University Campus on Roosevelt Island. This year we focused on the give and take that often occurs between attendees, the speakers, and the folks who are in the audience. The transfer of ideas are often lightbulb moments for those who get to attend. We decided to keep the imagery in B&W, to allow the colorful arrows and graphics to help tell the story. Touchpoints usually include website, motion graphics, signage, and monitor display ads. Looking forward to attending in November! Motion graphics produced by

Earlier this spring we had the pleasure of working with our neighbors at to help refresh their brand, which will roll out later this fall. We dug into our discovery process to uncover their goals, audiences, and vision. While they have strengths in all kinds of law, immigration drives the majority of their growth. So, we focused in on the immigration journey, and centered our brand mark on the overlapping touchpoints clients all cross as they make their way through the process to live and work in the US. Thanks to the team at Miller Mayer for engaging with us to develop this new identity.

Hot off the press! Fun branding opportunity for a very cool scholarship program at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine and Cornell University. Red (Reducing Educational Debt) helps students at the College pay for their education after completing their first year. We created the brand logo and this folder with student recipient profiles that will go out to alumni supporters of the program. Printed by Arnold Printing. Bring on the branding!! ❤️

These new biscuits are the best! Check them out IRL at Coffee Company Taverns and get a box of these incredibly tasty biscuits ASAP-- they're designed to pair really well with beer, wine, and cheeses. Iron helped the ICC folks develop a packaging design for these new products to spotlight their tastiness and unique character. 🍺🍷🥮❤️

Don't know if you've seen on IG, but they are an awesome small business in Ithaca, who creates the smmoooothest sauces you've ever tasted! We worked with their team to develop a vintage/modern brand for their new sauces. All their spicy peppers are grown locally, and the products are packaged right in their own local facility. You can purchase their sauces at their website, regional markets, and at a number of local grocers in the Ithaca and surrounding areas. if you a flavor freak, then you gotta get a bottle of Suede! 🔥🔥🔥

Proud of our branding and package illustration for this new candle line from our friends at in Ithaca, NY. Over 2022 we worked with their team to conceptualized the brand, help with all product naming, and designed all the various label illustrations for 10 new products. Plus now our studio smells great :) 🔥🔥

No client work today! Sometimes self indulgence is necessary-- Checkout our new graphic wall-- since it is the background for many Zoom calls, we felt the need to make it a little more engaging. We were going to hand-paint this, but ultimately decided to enlist in Syracuse to print and install for us. Thanks Ryan and Chris!

Happy Friday folks! We're getting ready to paint some walls in the studio-- here's a couple early drafts. Stay tuned for walls in progress. Time to break out the paint.
