A studio in Providence, since 2016

Pictures, marks and rooms, made one project at a time.

Photography, illustration, identity and interiors for people who want the work to speak first.

How a project runs

From the first call to the handover, in the order it happens.

  1. Listen

    A first call or a first coffee. We ask what the work is for and who will see it, and we leave with a one-page brief.

  2. Sketch

    Pencil, paper and cut-outs before any screen. You see three honest directions, not thirty polished ones.

  3. Make

    One direction is chosen and built. You see work in progress at fixed points so nothing is a surprise.

  4. Refine

    Two rounds of changes are part of every project. A third round is quoted before it starts.

  5. Hand over

    Files, prints or drawings are delivered with a short guide so anyone can use them without calling us.
