Celebrating 25 Years of Design with Purpose

A Journey of Creativity, Connections, and Impact

As we reflect on our 25-year journey as a San Francisco studio, we're struck by how far we've come since opening our doors in 2000. What started as a vision to bridge creative expression and business acumen has become far more meaningful than we could have imagined.

Our evolution from a boutique design studio to a purpose-driven force in the food industry ecosystem mirrors the changes we've witnessed in design, business, and social responsibility. From our early collaborations with tech startups to our current focus on sustainable food systems and B Corp values, we've stayed anchored to our belief that great design must serve both head and heart.

During the past 25 years, we have shaped memorable brand experiences for organizations of every size - from small CPG brands to global enterprises. While we're honored by the recognition from publications like Communication Arts, Graphis, and Awwwards, our deepest satisfaction comes from our lasting impact on our clients and their communities and the people we have collaborated with.

Since 2000, our industry has seen so many shifts, from the days of SyQuest drives to the rise of cloud technology and AI. Sustainability has gone from being a nice-to-have to an absolute must, and brands have moved from controlling narratives to meeting consumers’ demands for honesty. Voting with your dollars matters now more than ever before.

Looking ahead, we're strengthening our commitment to collaborating with the food industry ecosystem. From farm to table, to innovation and sustainability, to building our own taste education through A Dash Of, we're helping brands tell stories that matter.

We’re super proud to have lasted as an independent studio for 25 years and we continue to celebrate the relationships we've built, the challenges we've overcome, and the positive change we've helped create. To our team members past and present, our visionary clients, and our supportive community: thank you for being part of this remarkable journey.

Cheers to 25 years of pushing boundaries, exceeding expectations, and creating a design that serves people and the planet.
