Congrats to Olive + M on their web launch today! 🌿🚀

To bring their vision of clean beauty to all, they also launched more accessible pricing for their entire line of products. BIG things are happening for this Austin-based brand in green beauty.

This has been one of our favorite design and development projects to date, and it's been a pleasure to translate Mariska's vision to the digital space.

The vision to alleviate the affordable housing crisis in Austin is powerful, and Austin Housing Conservancy (Affordable Central Texas) needed a strong team on their side to bring this vision to fruition.

We loved partnering with Red Fan Communications to construct a marketing strategy, refurbish the brand, and to build a new website capable of driving AHC into the future.

David Steinwedell, CEO and President of AHC: “We appreciate all the hard work you and your team put in to get us to this launch. The product is awesome and we are proud to share it.”

"Good design is good business." — Florence Knoll Bassett⠀
⠀
This weekend, Florence Knoll Bassett passed away at 101. She was the first woman to receive the Gold Medal for Industrial Design from the The American Institute of Architects and was presented the National Medal of Arts in 2003 — the nation's highest award for artistic excellence.⠀
⠀
You've no doubt seen her work and experienced the impact she's had on the world, both in design and collaboration. The modern office is heavily influenced by the Knoll collection, and even top-down arrangements you commonly see on IG are known as — inspired by the firm's use of angles and invented when Frank Gehry was working for Knoll.⠀
⠀
According to the back page obituary in this Saturday's The New York Times, Knoll was a breakthrough collaborator. She "brought designer friends and former teachers into the fold by acquiring rights to their creations, paying them commissions and royalties, and giving them credit for their designs... her exactitude could be frustrating for those who worked under her... but the fruit of that labor became universally known."⠀
⠀
If you're looking for some inspiration, take a moment today to read more about this influential woman and an amazing life. Images courtesy of Knoll Inc. + ⠀
