Local businesses are the lifeblood of Portland, and we’re proud to be a creative partner of one of our absolute favorites: . 🌱

We’ve been involved in refreshing many of their brand touch points, among them transforming the heart of their business, their nurseries, with new murals and signage. With pops of color, flora, and heartfelt messages, each nursery is now bursting with Portland Nursery’s true spirit.

None of the murals would have been possible without , who painted day and night to bring our designs to life.

This is Portland talent and ingenuity at its finest, and we’re thankful to be a part of it! 🌹✨

We turned office art into a team bonding exercise ✨

Our creative director, , designed this mural based on our Murmur values, mixed with bits of fun, weirdness, and fantasy. Local muralist came to the studio and turned Dani’s design into a giant paint by numbers. Over a week in February, the Murmur team got their hands dirty, bonding over the fact that most of us weren’t as good of painters as we thought.

Come see the mural in person on Tuesday, October 14th, at our open house, and read more about the mural design and painting process in our blog (link in bio)! 🫶

IT’S FERNIE’S SWEET 16 ✨✨✨✨✨

The Murmur team took a break during our busy Thursday to celebrate our sweet studio dog, Fernando. Fernie started joining us in the studio the day after his mom adopted him, and that was over 10 years ago!

Now, he teaches all the other Murmur dogs, like Pablo, how to be good boys and girls in the office! Wishing a GIANT happy birthday to the smallest, goodest boy. 🥳❤️

As a branding agency, we do this kind of work every day, but doing it for ourselves brought its own set of challenges (and more than one surprise!). We realized how much we had grown, learned to let go of “perfect,” and even rebuilt our team page around archetypes with an interactive quiz.
