Collaboration is at the heart of what we love and do. It introduces us to some of the most talented designers and creators in the country and this project is no different.

Barley’s Bar has been around for over 20 years in a community that we grew up in, so we were honored when they asked us to create a few things for them. Included in that short list is a long list of customer touchpoints starting with an overall brand refresh and custom pieces ranging from signage to tap handles.

This section is as much about design as it is about the destination so when we saw these photos that Tara Miller took of a winery in Italy, we knew it needed more attention. Tara and her husband took a trip to Antinori nel Chianti Classico, a winery set in the hillside of Bargino Fl, Italy.

Yes, Wesley Taylor is on the run all the damn time but when he’s not and he’s at home in Chicago there are a few places that he frequents. Don’t worry, they’re not your run of the mill places either.

We hope you see what we see when you step into Wesley’s apartment. That his space is filled with music and creativity (and just a few Palo Santo sticks).

You know that guy sitting at the corner coffee shop sketching away diligently as he finds the bottom of his coffee mug? That guy could very well be Taylor Penton. Starting at a very young age, Taylor's work has gone through several iterations from sketching to watercolor and most has moved recently on to detailed pen work
