Polyurb Website Builder
Role: Custom Development, Website
Polyurb is a website builder for the SMB market. Our goal with Polyurb was to reduce the cost and complexity of having a quality website. Polyurb combines the ease of management and predictable monthly subscription costs of platforms like Shopify and Squarespace with the deep and broad feature set of WordPress and its ecosystem.
Our extensive experience in software development meant that we were able to launch within two years.
Cultural Blends
Role: Branding
Founded in 2012, streetwear designer Cultural Blends sells their own clothing and accessories line. They also retail vintage threads and collector sneakers.
Cultural Blends’ old wordmark wasn’t reflective of what the brand had grown into. We assessed the brand’s history and customer demographics to design a new wordmark. The new wordmark respects the brand’s street wear and sports heritage, while appealing equally to men and women. It’s also visually compatible with the existing logo symbol, which carries a lot of brand equity.
The Sheridan Prize for Art
Role: Website, Custom Development
The Sheridan Prize for Art is the first regional art prize for the San Francisco Bay Area. It was conceived as a new space to revitalize the Bay Area art scene. In addition to 10 juried awards, the prize includes two awards decided by participating artists and viewers. The prize is conducted entirely online, with artwork submissions and voting occurring on the website.
In its third year, the Sheridan Prize for Art suffered from technical problems that hampered growth. Our audit of the site revealed extreme technical debt. We worked with the client to form a plan to put the prize on stronger technical footing. Items we focused on included mobile-friendliness, security, stability, handicapped accessibility, the eCommerce experience, and reducing web hosting costs. As part of the implementation of that plan, we developed a new website with redesigned artwork submission and voting booth areas.
BeSpoke Speech and Language
Role: Custom Development, Game Development
BeSpoke Speech and Language is a resource for interactive, digital language therapy materials.
They needed several speech therapy video games ported from Windows to the browser. They also needed a way to embed the games in a members-only area of their website. We developed browser ports of the games and the website embed feature. Our expertise in software development meant we were able to do so cost effectively.
M Solutions LLC
Role: Logo
M Solutions LLC is a Portland, Oregon area business that provides property maintenance and other services.
M Solutions sought a logo that reflected the company’s values of service and achievement. We delivered a clean design with bold lines that would be easily recognizable from a distance and have good eye appeal when applied to vehicles.
Irvina Kanarek
Role: Website
Irvina Kanarek is an author, speaker, consultant, and non-profit founder. She has written over 700 articles and been published in the Orange County Register and Los Angeles Times. Her preventive healthcare non-profit helped over 6,000 people in the United States and abroad.
Irvina needed a centralized place to market her services and new book. We stepped in to handle the technical issues and add the final visual polish to give her website a professional and cohesive look.
Blast Kids’ Parties
Role: Website, Branding, SEO
Blast Kids’ Parties is a children’s birthday party character company. They’re on a mission to make the world a better place. In addition to doing awesome birthday parties, they’re giving back with a character development program for kids.
We delivered a fun visual identity that taps into the child in all of us, without feeling cheesy or cheap. We also developed a custom WordPress site and made them visible in search with an SEO campaign.
Superheroes in Training
Role: Print Design
Superheroes in Training is a character development program for children. The program is run by Blast Kids’ Parties, a children’s birthday party character company.
The client wanted a deck of cards designed for the “7 Special Superhero Powers” — responsibility, respect, honesty, safety, forgiveness, health, and teamwork. Each child that participates in the character development workshop receives a deck. The client supplied the text for each card, and we conceptualized and produced the artwork for the front of the cards and the design of the backs. The art captures elements of the company’s homegrown superhero Blast’s mythos. We felt this was an important touch because the workshop is taught by Blast. We kept the cards visually connected to the brand through use of the company color gradient and fonts.
Ken Rosenfeld Glass Art
Role: Website
Ken Rosenfeld is a glass artist specializing in contemporary lamp work paperweights. His art is in the permanent collections of the Museum of American Glass in New Jersey, the Canterbury Museum in New Zealand, and the Bergstrom-Mahler Museum in Wisconsin. It has also been featured in the Smithsonian Institution’s catalog.
We revamped the site’s front end to more closely match what the client had envisioned and fixed the broken eCommerce setup. We also migrated the site to our web hosting platform to stop the outages the site had experienced previously.
Sister Mary’s Angel
Role: Key Art, Film Poster
Sister Mary’s Angel is a comedy drama film by independent filmmaker Mary Knight Productions. Identical twin sisters Angel, a lingerie model, and Mary, a nun, trade places so that Angel can get medical care for a life-threatening condition.
After securing a distribution deal with Filmhub, the client needed new key art that met licensing partner requirements. We worked with the client to create a fresh, new design that met the technical and quality standards.

I Can’t Logon solves that problem. Simply type icantlogon.com into your browser bar, and you’ll get to the login portal. The secret is that I Can’t Logon doesn’t use https, which can prevent your browser from redirecting.
StraighttalkTV
Role: Website
Straighttalktv is a local-access cable TV show. It features interviews and entertainment from local entrepreneurs, artists, comedians, musicians, and more. If you don’t have cable in Oregon, catch it on Facebook Live or watch past episodes on YouTube.
Straighttalktv needed an upgrade from their old site on a free website builder. We made them a basic site that allowed them to easily update their own content.
Bach in Socket
Role: Print Design, Branding
Bach in Socket is 14 compositions suitable for a variety of instruments. The compositions deconstruct and reconstruct J.S. Bach’s compositions, blurring the line between high and low art.
This project required branding that would work on many variations of album covers and black and white sheet music. We created a logo set that would work for the required applications. We also designed album covers that embodied the pop art aesthetic of the music.

Role: Website
Skinny Lee Productions is an independent video production company based out of Los Angeles and New York. Led by actor, director, and producer Derek Magyar, Skinny Lee Productions has several decades of combined experience. They produce polished and cinematic commercials, property tours, and profile videos.

Skinny Lee Productions desired a simple and clean website to showcase their work. We collaborated with them to deliver a site that was to their taste on a short timeline.
Raiders of the Lost Clam!!!
Role: Key Art, Film Poster
Raiders of the Lost Clam!!! is a feature-length comedy/sci-fi/horror film produced by SCi CO Films.
SCi CO Films needed key art that met Amazon’s requirements and fit within a modest budget. We watched many scenes from the film and talked extensively with the filmmaker to ensure we could communicate the feel of the film to viewers. The result of our efforts was this genre-blending, surreal design.

Author David Cross is the CEO of Indispensable Leadership, founder of Bow Tie Tours which was awarded “Best Tour Company in Pennsylvania” by Travel & Hospitality magazine, and was a successful criminal defense attorney for 25 years.
The client needed book and cover design for paperback, hardback, and Kindle editions of Indispensable. He also desired that specific visual elements be included in the cover design. We produced work that reflects that the book is historical, but not unapproachable, and incorporates the required visual elements.
