Our latest mural project "You Matter Here" is now live on Visit Austin, Texas!

We encourage everyone to go our and check out this mural as it will only be up temporarily so be sure to check it while you can!

“YOU MATTER HERE” Three simple words, but for many people, they’re words we don’t hear enough. This mural was created as a reminder for anyone walking by, whether you’re having a good day or carrying something heavy, that your presence matters. East Austin has always been a place built on ...

“Estamos Unidos.”
We are united.

At a time when families feel divided, when fear and uncertainty live in many homes, this message felt necessary. Art has always been a way for communities to speak when words fall short.

Tonight, while the country watches the Super Bowl and one of the biggest Latin artists in the world takes the stage, conversations about identity, culture, and belonging are louder than ever. For some, that creates pride. For others, tension. But for many of us, it’s a reminder that our stories are part of this country too.

This mural is about unity not perfection. About remembering that behind every headline are real people, real families, and real emotions. And when communities feel divided, mental health carries that weight first.

Strength doesn’t come from standing alone.
It comes from standing together.

Nuestra fuerza siempre ha estado en la unión. En la cultura, en la comunidad y en no dejar a nadie atrás. Seguimos juntos. Estamos unidos.

This project is supported in part by the City of Austin Economic Development Department.

The Foundations Behind Everything We Create

Before the visuals. Before the campaigns. Before the experience. Every strong brand starts with a solid foundation.

At Forty4 Design, our brand foundations give us clarity on who we are, how we show up, and how we build for others. They guide our decisions and keep our work focused, intentional, and consistent.

At the core of our brand foundations are:
• Culture-driven creativity
• Relentless ex*****on
• Independent thinking that leads, not follows

These foundations aren’t just about how things look. They’re about direction, consistency, and building brands that actually connect.

Social media gets a lot of attention, but it’s not the whole marketing picture.

Posting consistently can create visibility, but real marketing is what gives that visibility direction. Strategy is what connects content to action, and social is just one place that strategy shows up.

This carousel breaks down how brands move from “just posting” to building momentum with purpose. If your social media feels active but not effective, this is your cue to rethink the approach.

Save this for your next content planning session or DM us to set up a consultation!

We teamed up with Panera Bread to bring this custom hippo to life—designed, built, and revealed as part of the ribbon cutting for Panera’s newest Hutto location. From concept to community moment, this project was all about creating an experience worth celebrating.
Huge thanks to for trusting us to make Tostina, and to for the incredible sculpting work that made this opening unforgettable 🦛✨
