When everyone can design, what matters changes. AI makes creation easier.
Clear thinking becomes the edge.
The brands that win won’t make more. They’ll mean more.

What happens when an entire industry starts thinking like a platform instead of just a show?
Working with Amusement Expo International, we had the chance to help bring operators, manufacturers, distributors, and innovators closer together than ever.
From strategy and theme to design, AI, advertising, and more, this was about building something bigger than a moment. It was about creating a year-round connection point for the industry.
“Next Is Now: Tomorrow’s industry. Today’s platform.” wasn’t just a line. It became the direction.
Grateful for the trust. Even more excited for what’s ahead.
If you’re thinking about how to evolve your brand, event, or platform, let’s connect!

What happens when we stay in the tension between who we are and who we feel expected to be?
Most of us move past it. Push through. Perform. At Reservation 14 of At The Table, we didn’t.
We stayed there. Long enough for real stories to show up. The kind that don’t come out in meetings. The kind that connect people faster than any strategy ever could.
Because story has a way of cutting through all of it. Titles. Roles. Expectations. And when people share honestly, something shifts. You stop comparing. You start understanding.
That’s where connection actually happens. Not in perfect answers. In shared truth. That’s what community is built on.

Thank you Mark Gibson, MBA, Ph.D., Tanner Woodford, Miriam Cleveland, and Christopher Lowe for the time.
At some point, doing the work isn’t enough.
You start questioning the system itself.
“I don’t just want to be part of the story anymore. I want to help shape how the story is told.”

The new Printing Solutions site is live.
Built by our team as part of the O’Neil platform.
Rooted in ideation Innovative packaging. Labels that have to perform, not just look good. Wide format that shows up right, at scale. And the kind of production thinking that keeps everything moving.
They don’t just print.
They solve the hard parts.
That’s why they are such a critical part of the O’Neil platform.
Strategy is one thing. Getting it into the world, consistently, across packaging, retail, environments, and campaigns… that’s another.
Designed for what’s next. Clear story. Better experience. Stronger system. Take a look 👇

There’s something special about watching something grow from the very beginning.
The AfterImage Film Festival is one of those things.
What started as a local idea has turned into a true celebration of independent film, bringing together storytellers, artists, and a community that genuinely cares about creativity. From short films to screenings that span everything from Sundance to Cannes-level work, it continues to raise the bar each year.
We’re proud at Rule29 and O’Neil Printing to have supported this festival from the start. Not just as partners, but as believers in what it stands for.
Because this is what matters:
Supporting creativity.
Building community.
Helping great stories get seen.
And when you see it all come together… you’re reminded why you say yes to these things early on.
If you haven’t experienced it yet, it’s worth your time.

Food tells the story of where you’re from.
American Potluck celebrates the dishes that define each state.
And calls attention to a harder truth.
48M people in the U.S. face hunger.
Every state brings a dish.
Everyone deserves a meal.

Living ON Purpose sounds good on paper. But most companies stop there.
We’ve seen what happens when purpose isn’t lived. + Teams disconnect. + Leaders hesitate. + Customers don’t buy it. So we built something different.
ON Purpose is not a statement. It’s a practice. A way to align what you believe with how you actually lead.
What this means:
* Purpose only works when it shows up in daily decisions
* The best brands live their values, not just write them

Most business conversations stay on the surface. Reservation 13 of At The Table didn’t. It didn’t stay in business for long.
We moved past it—into legacy, into impact, into the ways we’re shaped by others and how we shape them in return.
We talked about the kind of pressure that never shows up on dashboards. The kind of trust that takes years to build and seconds to lose.And what it really looks like to repair it once it’s broken. No presentations. No posturing. No pretending.
Just people willing to stay in the conversation long enough for it to matter. It’s a reminder, for us, and for the brands we partner with, the work only gets better when the conversations do.

Design doesn’t break down across disciplines. Weak ideas do.
Style can get attention. But it can’t carry a brand on its own. The real challenge, especially for growing organizations, is not execution. It’s clarity.
What do you stand for?
What are you actually trying to say?
And does your design system hold up across brand, motion, environments, and experience?
In this episode of DesignOf Podcast, we talk with John Pobojewski of Span about what it takes to create work that lasts. Not just visually, but strategically.
Because when the idea is clear, everything aligns. When it’s not, even great design starts to feel disconnected.
If you’re leading a brand, managing marketing, or trying to bring consistency across channels, this conversation is worth your time.

Kindness isn’t soft. It’s what most teams are missing.
Not more strategy. Better humanity.
That’s where trust, clarity, and performance actually come from.

Lainey is a KC native, storyteller, and certified dog magnet.
She brings Midwest warmth and sharp thinking to every project. The kind of person who asks better questions, connects the dots, and keeps things moving.
Curious. Detail-driven. Easy to work with.
Outside of work, she is exploring new spots, reading something worth recommending, or making friends with whatever dog is nearby.
And yes, she came from Chiefs Kingdom. But you can join the Chicago Bears bandwagon if you need to.
Welcome, Lainey.
