A look into our process for creating this logo for our Old Town neighbor, Chengdu Teahouse. We had a lot of fun experimenting with this design and are proud of how the final design met our clients goals of finding a balance between Eastern and Western influence.

🍅 A week ago our annually planted tomato plants went up on the patio. Lauren took extra care this year to ensure they would flourish and the work has paid off!

Unfortunately, our social media team did not snap a picture when they were first planted and now they are practically doubled in size! Our illustrator worked to produce an image for our followers that might represent how they looked a week ago. Scroll through the images to see the plants as they are now.
