A blur, yes, but a very memorable year. Cheers to 2026!!!
#throwback to this time last year when myself and a small group of creative people devised a retelling of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream… but with some fun…twists. Exploring and crafting the role of Puck as a gothic vampire will always be a standout memory for me.

At 56, celebrating 28 years of marriage to this woman today means realizing I have now spent as many years with the fabulous @happysaunders by my side then I have without her. To the low’s and high’s, feasts and famines, laughs and tears, two amazing sons, and the ongoing backgammon tournament until we are too old to remember how to play… Happy Anniversary Baby! You will always be the best thing that happened to me.
I met the most amazing and beautiful woman about 30 years ago and have the privilege of being her husband ever since. Happy birthday @happysaunders I love growing old(er) with you! 😘
The biggest shoutout to this smart, vibrant beauty who exemplifies motherhood so well and should be credited for just how amazing our young men turned out to be. Happy Mother’s Day babe. ☺️ @happysaunders
Most rebrands fall short because they lead with the logo.
Templeton Glass has been a world-class player since 1989, but their brand didn't match their excellence.
Our approach was different. We mapped out a positioning strategy first, then crafted an identity that honors their 37 years of expertise.
The resulting mark was a natural fit, built to endure and already winning awards.
If your brand's image doesn't match your company's current vision, it's time to rethink.
Happy Birthday to this guy who first ushered me into the role of Father. Can’t believe it has been 26 years today! Proud doesn’t even come close. Cheers to you Dayton! @day_ton.saunders
Love supporting the stage arts and our friends at @templeton.pac and TPAC Playhouse. Had a lot of fun devising the design and doing this illustration for Mr. Toad in this original adaptation. 😁
Transforming a modern craving into a brand marinated in tradition, flavor, and fire.
@oldslobbq is a Central Coast gem that has earned its reputation as a favorite among locals and tourists thanks to its mouth-watering Santa Maria-style barbecue.
The brand required a transformation to better resonate with its audience and showcase its exceptional food. The rebrand brought forth a strategy and identity that enables the company to thrive while preserving its unique market value.
