#TGIF

In case you missed the memo, it’s absolutely freezing in New York today. But enough about the sub-zero wind chills awaiting us outside! We’ve been working on some web design concepts and an intricate map design, as well as sharing some typography love for the Valentine’s Day. We’re also indulging in chocolates from Jacques Torres, a time-honored office valentine tradition– thanks, William! In the spirit of change and improvement, we’re giving our office a facelift with some serious rearranging and redecorating. Yesterday we put our organizational and interior design skills to work, and we’re creating a great new workspace. We’ll send pictures when we’re all settled in. This week, our friends at Pizza Moto provided an incredibly thoughtful quote about working with us for their case study featured on our site. We’re truly grateful to work with such awesome, talented clients!

Around the Neighborhood

if you’re crazy brave enough to go out this weekend, we have unsurprisingly no shortage of events to celebrate, denounce, or find love in Brooklyn. Aside from the borough’s romantic bars, there are lots of fun and irreverent gatherings like the Rejection Show’s Valentine’s Day at Littlefield (2/14), featuring their best love-and-heartbreak related storytelling, performances, and music. And if the freezing temperatures are enough to hold you back, there’s always Netflix, right?

Keep in touch with us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Behance, and Dribbble. Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!
