The feature we were especially in awe of was the camera that captures each person’s variety of expressions and matches them with various mediums of artwork from the museum’s collection. Each “match” is then projected on a wall for all museum-goers to see (first picture) or sends you an email like a photobooth strip (second picture). It is a clever and engaging way to explore the artwork, and the use of technology is mind-blowing. 

We do a lot of design work here in the studio, but we also manage to sneak in some fun too. Why not? Isn’t that what being a designer is all about?

We designed a cohesive system to work with the existing Bridgeport Cafe identity and using vegetable silhouettes and a crisp green palette.

New projects included the grand opening invitation suite, street banners, menu design, food truck design and the launch of the Bridgeport Cafe website. The invitation was sent out in a bright green envelope, and came complete with a napkin wrap fastening with a Kinsman Fresh sticker, concealing the details underneath.

Big thanks to our friends at Jakprints for helping make our project come to life. We’re proud to be part of this great project, and happy to brighten a developing Cleveland neighborhood.

Thanks to Sara for entering our studio, our team and our day-to-day fun…we are now the proud owners of an official knock knock office prize pack!

My favorite part of the honor? Our office culture being compared to a hip, CW dramedy! Yes, I am not too proud to admit I love a bit of CW.

Thanks knock knock for the prize and the honor. Next time you are swinging through the midwest we would LOVE to visit…lunch, lattes and bike rides included.

In celebration of our anniversary we designed our studio holiday windows using various shades of italian crepe paper, twinkly white lights and oversized mylar “JOY” balloons to express out enthusiasm and gratitude towards our clients and the community.

This year our studio was selected to be part of the biennial Come Home to Lakewood Home Tour. We opened our studio and the petit parc to over 1000 visitors as they spent the afternoon admiring the secret garden, getting to know our team and our work.

Each tour location was provided with a floral designer for the event, and we were delighted to work with Lakewood florist Vase 2 Vase. Jeff over at V2V designed simple arrangements for our desks and shelves, as well as a floral masterpiece for the studio “lounge” which included brussel sprouts, orchids, a baby eggplant and many more unique elements. Thanks you guys, you are truly talented floral creatives!

Our parc was given a little face lift by area landscaper, Matt Gaydos of Gardens by Gaydos. The many white pansies and fall mums that were planted greeted the visitors as they entered our petite parc. Thanks Matt for all your help; you did a great job!

Big thanks goes out to “friends of Chartreuse;” Amber and Gretchen for helping guide guests through the parc and the office space. We are lucky to have you both as wonderful; friends!

Lastly, thank you to the Lakewood Historical Society for including us in your awesome event. Your volunteers were very professional and no detail went unnoticed. We know how much hard work goes into planning an event like this. You should be very proud of yourselves…congrats!

We created full business cards for the client to share, as well as mini-cards for her farmers market display. Pre-printed customizable label templates allow for flexibility and kitchen experiments, but still create brand unity.

We’re looking forward to hearing her progress, and hope to check out a Montana farmers market soon!

An opportunity to visit their impressive rooftop patio for a noon break of lunchtime refreshments and creative conversation is definitely a treat. We all enjoyed catching up on each other’s current projects and summer plans while absorbing some serious Vitamin D.

Many thanks to the gentlemen at AODK for a lovely afternoon!

At Chartreuse we love to throw a good party, so this year’s special design details included trendy neon paper chains framing the street, trees and patio and fun chalk art on the sidewalk. Our friends at PopoWags entertained and fed our guests with their live kettle corn popping, which was then served in hand-screened popcorn bags, designed by our lovely intern Ali.

The shiniest star of this year’s event was our friend Amelia the Airstream. Greeting guests majestically in the driveway, Amelia showcased the interior design skills of Chartreuse and enchanted with her extreme makeover story.

Huge thanks go to our artists, friends and guests for sharing a charming summer evening with us in Lakewood. We’re already looking forward to next year!
