Some projects are special because of the people behind them.

This new children's book began with an author, Andrew Gogerty, whose work at Reiman Gardens inspires curiosity and wonder every day. When it came time to bring the story to life visually, a nationwide search was conducted for the illustrator—and the winning artist, Tim Read turned out to be right here in Ames.

We’ve had the privilege of serving as the publisher, helping bring their vision from manuscript to finished book.

And because every good story deserves a few surprises, preorders include a free sticker pack featuring characters from the book... including one secret character that hasn't been revealed yet. 👀

There is something wonderful about seeing local talent create something that will travel far beyond our community. We can't wait for everyone to meet these characters and experience the story.

You can pre-order the book at https://heuss.presencehost.net/customerdesigns/reiman-gardens.html

One year ago, one of my (Kori Heuss) customers told me I was right.

Being me, I added this to the calendar to mark the day and promptly forgot about it.

Today, this was hand delivered!

I love people!

The work babies are blooming.

First conversation of the day:

Meagan: What projects are you churning through today?

Kori: Today is writing heavy: A marketing plan for a customer, social media posts for people for the month, a grant submission. . .

Meagan: I'm making sweatshirts for geese!

Meagan is cooler than I (Kori Heuss). So much cooler.
