At six years old, Yana decided she was going to be an artist. And somewhere along the way, Stan Can got to be part of watching that dream become a reality.

Her Stan Can story started in high school, when she joined us as an intern and began sharpening her production chops. Since then, she’s earned two degrees from UNR, crossed the Atlantic for her MFA in Manchester, and grown from a young designer finding her footing into the thoughtful, wildly talented creative she is today.

Through all those chapters, Stan Can has been a constant—even as life around the studio changed. We’ve watched her move to the UK, get married, build a life across the Atlantic, and now become a mom. Somewhere in between, she’s explored more than 10 countries, adopted two very British black cats, and continued bringing her particular blend of precision and creativity to every project.

We’re pretty lucky to have been along for the ride. Here’s to nine years, countless projects, several life chapters, and whatever comes next.

There’s something kind of beautiful about designing for a place built entirely around live performance.

We’ve worked with Tolles on a series of Pioneer Center ads that balance thoughtful development with a little theatrical flair. Big ideas, subtle storytelling, and just enough drama to earn their place in a playbill.

Eighteen years.

Old enough to vote. Old enough to know better. Young enough to ignore that advice anyway.

For the last 18 years, we’ve had the privilege of helping great people tell great stories, build great brands, and occasionally convince them that yes, the logo really does need a little more breathing room.

To everyone who’s trusted us, challenged us, collaborated with us, and cheered us on—thank you. We wouldn’t be here without you.

Here’s to 18 years of creative problem-solving… and whatever wonderfully weird project comes next. 🎉

OOH advertising works best when people actually want to engage with it.

So instead of asking people to just look at a sign, we helped Western Turf and Hardscapes turn their Aces stadium campaign into something interactive. Fans can scan the QR code on the boards around the field and play a digital scratch-and-win game right from their phones.

A little more participation.
A little more curiosity.
A lot more memorable than another Ad screaming into traffic.

Good outdoor advertising doesn’t just interrupt people anymore.
It invites them in.

Most tech logos look like they were generated by a server rack.

For IT Envy, we wanted something more human.

The refresh balances technical confidence with approachability, pulling the brand away from generic “tech company” territory and toward something that better reflects who they actually are: people solving complicated problems for other people.

Most billboards are trying very hard.

We figured confidence might work better.

The latest outdoor campaign for Western Turf and Hardscapes strips everything back to something simple and bold: We Are Turf. Large typography. Honest imagery. No overexplaining. No shouting.

Just a local company confidently owning what they do best.

Turns out that reads pretty well at 65 miles per hour.

A little aviation, a little illustration, a little merch magic.

For the Beech’n Bonanza project, we brought the concept to life through custom aircraft illustration, a t-shirt design, and a sticker sheet that gives the whole brand a little extra lift.

Good branding doesn’t stay behind a desk.

It ends up in grocery store lines. Airports. Coffee shops. Little League games. Random gas station encounters two towns over.

Branded apparel turns employees into recognizable pieces of the brand itself. Part uniform, part moving billboard, part “wait… where’d you get that hoodie?”

Wearable branding works because it travels farther than most advertising ever will.

Happy Birthday, Stan. 🎂

There are very few people who can build an agency, shape a creative community, mentor generations of designers, advocate for the things they love, and still show up every day excited to make something better. Stan does all of it.

We’re endlessly grateful for the creativity, leadership, curiosity, and care he brings into this studio and into the lives of the people around him. His standards push us, his ideas inspire us, and his belief in good design has shaped not only this agency, but so many people within it.

Today we’re celebrating the person behind the work — the designer, the teacher, the skateboarder, the founder, and the guy who somehow still has a million new ideas before 9am.

Happy Birthday, Stan. We appreciate you more than you know.
