umi.io

Spent a few weeks working on the North Shore. 

Been working on the umi.io 2012 Holiday promo for the last couple days. Trying to sneak in a few lines of code here and there between agency work, and I’ve been completely neglecting my blog. 

For that I apologize.

Work has been crazy lately, in a good way. Our Agency operations are starting to run smoothly, prospective clients are starting to find us based on our quality & vision, and our team is shipping work confidently.

For those of you that don’t give a fuck about the Agency, umi.io has all sorts of developments rolling out of the mothership.

This week I pushed out the Home of the Brave Website, updated collaboration work on the portfolio, started work with POW WOW, relieved my interns for the semester, moved into a new office in Chinatown upstairs from Manifest, and hired a new human to crank on production work at the Agency.

Next week I’m invading Russia. 

Every pixel counts.

Working on some really exciting print design for November. It’s coming out well so far.

Had a new client called LUXSHA to brand this week. This was another one of the first proofs.

flock together

Had a new client called LUXSHA to brand this week. They’re a high end travel and luxury retail network in India.

This was part of the first round of proofs.

Exploring lines and patterns for a new branding project. This one probably won’t make it to the client presentation. Too much hipster, not enough cowbell.

This is Rose. We met earlier today during a visit to my new client’s farm on the North Shore. 

I sneak Bowie into my UI proofs and clients don’t bat an eyelash. Maybe next I’ll try foreign diplomats or Bond Villains. 

I just redesigned all my web stuff. Got a fancy new domain too: http://umi.io

What I’m working on today. Something extra fun.

Designing alone in the studio tonight. So I’m working on my own website.

My angry designer face. 

I was interviewed recently on my opinions of art and design. It’s the first time I’ve ever been interviewed for my work. I’m almost 100% certain that this is one of those interviews that will form a strong opinion of me in peoples minds.

If you follow my work, or anything about me, and want to know what type of crazy martian bullshit makes me tick, this interview might give you some insight into how out-of-my-mind I really am.
