Leaving Seattle

If I could skip this step, I would. I hate goodbyes.
But they matter.
They mean, “I care.”
That’s why I’m writing.
Design Kompany is leaving Seattle.
We’re having a yard sale this weekend at Kornerhaus.
The good things

I want to share with you why we’re moving.
Every couple of years, DK does this.
We started in Raleigh-Durham, in North […]

Bubbles

I am experimenting lately with patterns.
Making them.
Often.
It’s nice to have a computer for this stuff. You can just try something and poof! It’s there.

I heart gulab jamuns

D: Do you want a gulab jamun?
A: What?
D: A gulab jamun. Remember how my mom brought that box, that you can just make on the spot?

DK had some internal dialogues about this, concluding […]

This is a picture from the archives of Design Kompany’s film collection.
It’s from India.
More specifically, Rajasthan. That’s where DK rambled a lot in the early days trying to see what we could see.
It’s a similar approach to our branding work, too: see what’s there, traverse every square inch, incubate, and then make something […]

FREE this Friday: Prescriptions for Awe and Wonder

Below is a blog post special to DK from artist Mark von Rosenstiel, whom DK met three years ago at Victrola’s Coffee Shop on 15th Avenue. Since then, Mark has been a speaker at Dream Kitchen, collaborated with us to create Case Architects’ website, and exhibited paintings for a party at Kornerhaus. This Friday, Mark […]

Hey, is this all there is?

Forget the highway, take the scenic route.
That’s one way to think about how to live life.
Someone asked me today if I was a risk-taker. I wasn’t sure how to answer, exactly. This is how I thought about it afterwards.
