The Work

The 40 West design team asked us to create a brand guide for Artline, a walking and biking art experience in the heart of the 40 West Arts District in Lakewood, Colorado. We created a brand guide with a logo, brand colors, and usage that they implement with maps, collateral, and signage.

How We Elevate is a fundraising event honoring prominent people in the world of education reform. Data was at the forefront. We designed multiple elements for the event that made data fun, accessible, interactive, and inspiring. Event photos by Evan Semón Photography.

Using science-inspired patterns from the Alumia Institute brand, we designed multiple key fixtures for their interior.

Appaloosa Grill needed a tabletop menu to showcase their live music line-ups, drafts, after dinner drinks, and desserts. They wanted it to light up. It had to be sturdy and easy to change out. And it should be something special. These tabletop menu stands were designed and constructed in the MATTER studio, and we continue to update the menu inserts monthly.

Alix and Julian came to us with an abundance of intelligence, energy, and incredible ideas around gameplay. Over the course of 5 years, we worked as a team to design 8 science-based, award-winning games—every one of them inspired and original.

Beginning with playful, anthropomorphic scoby characters, we designed—and continue to design—cans that are so bright, fun, and animated, a child would instinctively pick one up instead of a can of soda.

Using 3D modeling, we transformed the Torpedo logo into a design for Torpedo’s exterior sign. Made from fiberglass, “Torpedo Guy” is like a lighthouse showing coffee lovers the way home.
