Design Dispatch #13 🍀


Lucky #13

This year has started with a bang! We've got some really exciting brand, website and product projects in the works.

From our #random slack channel

• The fonts hanging out series doesn't miss

• Art book coming soon: Snail World 2! Can't get enough of snails doing things like bowling, laundry and even participating in the Great British Bake Off!

• Loving the New York Botanical Gardens new brand identity system

Charlee & Leah


❄️TEAM TIDBIT☀️

This year the Emerald team is approaching the midwestern winter *slightly* differently! Charlee spent 2 weeks in Traverse City, embracing the cold, pet sitting and climbing snowy sand dunes. Leah is soaking up the sun in Mexico until March and tried surfing for the first time!


🔦 CLIENT SPOTLIGHT

🪩New Case Study: Bronx Charter School for the Arts is a public K-8 school. They needed a website that was easy for busy parents to use and a marketing campaign to reach future Bronx Arts parents.

Expanding on their current brand, we used pieces of the Bronx Arts logo to build a flexible & ownable pattern system.


AVAILABILITY

2024 is off to a great start! We're currently booking new projects starting in late April.

Need something faster? Design Days are a great way to get on our calendar earlier.

Well rested☀️🍒 Emerald is back from our summer break and already hit the ground running with two project kickoffs! We're excited to be back but do miss Lady (the pup below) and Traverse City. Emerald summer break recap⛱️ Leah joined Charlee up in Traverse City for some quality in-person time. We visited the Cherry Festival, did loads of beading, took a tour of the historic asylum (actually not scary, pretty cool), went to Sleeping Bear Dunes, tie dyed, made oven s'mores and even did some...

A well deserved summer break We’ve been heads down all year launching some really exciting brands and websites! We're busier than ever. We're doing some of our best work yet. Which is why taking a break right now might seem counterintuitive. One of our values at Emerald is ensuring our business decisions allow for a work life balance (our other values: make impactful design accessible and exceed client expectations). We believe that taking time to rest and recharge will allow us to better...
