Thank you.

We mean it. Without you and your support, spoon+fork would not be a reality. As a small token of our gratitude, enjoy this year's Thanksgiving pullout. It's filled with treats, recipes and tips to help make Thanksgiving delicious. We've put it together with lots of love, sweat and beers. Um, tears. We meant tears.

Tully's Gluten-Free Bakery

Founder and baker Tully Lewis came to us one day with her plans to bake delicious gluten-free cookies and brownies. And delicious they definitely are! She asked us to create the branding, packaging, and website for her amazing treats. The challenge was to design a gluten-free brand that didn't look like a gluten-free brand. Get a box or two or three on tullysbakery.com or at your local shop.

JSN Properties

So most of us have dealt with real estate agents and brokers at one point and there's always that nagging feeling in the back wishing they weren't so .... well you can fill in the blank. This summer we met with Jeffrey Nissani of JSN Properties, and you know what. You'd never know he was in commercial real estate. It was easy to tell that we and his firm genuinely wants to help you find a home for your business, and not just make a deal. Funny thing was that his old website didn't communicate that unique trait about them, so he came to us to help communicate this. We've cleaned up their website and redesigned it to be more in tune with the JSN Properties brand.

Kenjiro Kitade

We've been a fan of Kenjiro Kitade's work for a while now. So we were even more excited and honored when he asked us to design his website. Kenjiro has an amazing catalog of work, and we wanted to design a website that would showcase his work front and center. Our favorite feature of the website is the background that changes depending on the time of day. If you'd prefer to see his work up close, his work is on exhibit at HPGRP Gallery until November 7th and at the Tisch Gallery's Sacred Monsters: Everyday Animism in Contemporary Japanese Art and Anime exhibition in Boston September 10 - November 22.

Save Sun Bears

The Sun Bear is the world's least known, least studied and smallest bear species. Sometimes referred to as the "forgotten bear", it is telling how their numbers are diminishing drastically. We've grown quite find of these animals as we were introduced to them through the Alexander Abraham Foundation and LEAP. We wanted to do something to help increase the awareness and raise some funds to help these beautiful and cute creatures. We've collaborated with textile designer Wakane Koike of MEW New York and have designed an exclusive tote bag with the Save Sun Bears message. Proceeds will go directly to the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation founded by Dr. Siew Te Wong. Please stop by Factoriem Boutique, Destination, or TuTu to pick up a bag of your own.

Inside Soccer

The rest of the world would call it Inside Football, we're sure. However the point of Inside Soccer is to introduce and educate American youth with the global sport. Working towards being the premier resource for everything soccer, the site has lots of exclusive content and they were facing a  challenge in that people were not finding all the content throughout the site easily. Collaboratively with E1 we designed a new homepage that would help visitors more efficiently and quickly find the super content throughout the site. 

Vinterra

Vinterra is a sales and marketing consulting company focused on the wine, spirits and beverage industries. They've gone through a growth period recently and in doing so it was perfect timing to establish a new corporate identity. Since their name already has a reference to wine, we were challenged to create an identity that would show the breadth of their work since wine clients were only a small part of their portfolio. The chosen logo was a "V" which represented the ideology of adding "A Splash of Vinterra". The clean, modern system was applied onto their stationery and website.

Mugen Project

We were given a challenge. Design the UI and look of a website that would become the most comprehensive bibliography on all things Buddhism. Mugen Project is an online bibliographic database on buddhism brought to you by the BDK/Numata Foundation. To give you a frame of how expansive this database is. The first works are recorded circa 600BC and spans through today. In addition to the design, we've also done custom illustrations and iconography throughout the experience. The website is still an early beta version, however it is ready to be used as records will be added continuously. 

Loop of the Loom

One day Pritsana stepped out to take a class at Loop of the Loom. A couple hours later she returned with a very cool scarf. Loop of the Loom is a hidden gem up on the upper east side that is the only hand-weaving studio and classes in New York City which introduces the Saori weaving program for children and adults. Saori is a Zen art of weaving from Japan founded by Misao Jo that is dedicated to free expression and self-development. Without any prior know-how of weaving, Pritsana created a scarf worthy of a Soho boutique in two hours! Take a class or two and send us a pic of what you make. Now weave us alone.
