Look at that, another year in the books! Tumblr keeps tumbling! Office keeps humming. Loudly. We got really into The Nineties this year. It was fun. We did the work. Kept raising the kids. And we’re ready for more. Pop-ins welcome!
Do 4 rounds make a right?
In our case, yes. Yes they do. Back in action and fully operational, the Round & Round office of 4 ass kicking designers is humming along, can’t stop won’t stop. Still Tumbling, too.
Round and Round, Year 7
While not full office strength, the force that is the Round and Round design team did its best to kick tires and light fires. Alongside big life events and continuing to navigate a pandemic, the work didn’t stop. It continued to hum and do what it does.
Unleashed!
New book project from The Harwood Institute:
How can we unleash the innate potential of people, institutions and groups in communities to address our common challenges? And how can we do this by creating a civic culture in which people come together to shape their own lives and gain real hope?
And this is the sea.
New essay to promote the book In the Middle of Everything:
The teams that have been formed during the pandemic have been some of the most exciting teams I’ve ever been a part of. And we sure as hell do some goddamn good work. For that, I know I am fortunate.
The hum of the computer, the clicks of the mouse, and the clicking of the keys drowned out by the loud music of the day. Turn that up to eleven because the office is empty except for me and the dog.
Whatever that came before was the river, and this my friends, is the sea.
Video Release
One of my favorite books of the last few years is this one.
It’s a really great book. Heartfelt, funny, random, childish, insightful, great. Just like the B Boys.
I picked up a copy when I was making In the Middle of Everything. As I’m sure was by design, I fell in love with them all over again. And maybe, if I’m being honest, for the first time. If I knew it was gonna to be that kind of party, well, you know how it goes…
