INSIDE SCOOP EXPLORING THE DESIGN FIRMS OF SAINT LOUIS IS INSPIRING, EDUCATIONAL, AND ABSOLUTELY
REWARDING.
Having the opportunity to explore and converse with the firms of Saint Louis has been truly amazing. When I think of work places, I think of a cubical, and maybe a window I walk by every once in awhile. But upcoming businesses including design firms, are trying to meld comfort, expression, and usability into their business offices. When I first started this book, I would have guessed a much different outcome. After exploring, and talking with many creative minds, my outlook on design, and the spaces we use, has changed dramatically in the best possible way. Every firm I visited welcomed me with hospitality and interest. They were very open minded, and even shared personal experiences with me. Thinking back, I thought each firm was going to be roughly the same, but I ended up with a whole new experiencing at each place. I realized something when visiting these firms, all designers have a bit of nerd in them, it comes with the profession. We immediately have connections and we usually get along or even act with similar characteristics. Every person I interviewed loved their job. They gave me great insight, along with answering my questions. It was almost as if I was having conversations with students in my class. I felt comfortable talking with the creative directors / business owners. It was an experience I hope to explore more of, and it was influential, educational, and most of all fun to visit these firms.
My process was extensive. I started with browsing dozens of firms and narrowed it down to 15, contacting them through email. Then I scheduled visits to interview with creative directors, or even the owner. In our interview, I asked questions, shot videos, and took lots and lots of pictures. I then narrowed my pictures down, uploaded my videos, filled my book with content, and started designing. I want to showcase these firms and the amount of unique style they create. I added questions & answers to help people get to know theses firms before they start applying for a position, giving them some insight to the style and skills of these firms.
1 BOXING CLEVER DESCRIBE CLIENTELE?
HOW MANY DESIGNERS?
Mainly I work on Southern Comfort, and Tuaka. We work with Vintage Vinyl, and other local companies in Saint Louis.
8 Art Directors and 3 writers.
HOW LONG HAS BOXING CLEVER BEEN AROUND? Boxing Clever has been open for 8 years total. It started as a production agency named 4 Alarm. But we opened about four years ago as Boxing Clever.
WHAT IS THE MOST CHALLENGING POINT OF THE STUDIO? The most challenging part is balancing the posse non structured quality that got the place where it is today, with the need for more structure as we continue to grow and add clients.
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR UPCOMING DESIGN STUDENTS? You have to work for what you like, so do your homework. Learn all the programs in and out, and look for something that gives you extra value. Before you interview with a place, look at the agency’s portfolio and do a project that reflects their style showing them you can do the type of work they produce.
HOW MUCH FREEDOM DO YOU ALLOW DESIGNERS? Because we are semi–small we do have a lot of freedom for people to go crazy, as long as they are in the realm of brand standards.
PRIMARY PRINT / WEB ? Truly a balance of both. We do print, digital, Apps, events, promotions, TV, and strategy.
14 DESIGN FIRMS THE INSIDE SCOOP
introduction
ARE THERE ANY ACTIVITIES THAT MAKE THIS A FUN ENVIRONMENT? Many of us are friends outside the office. We share common hobbies and interests. So most days feel less like a job and more like hanging out and joking all day with friends. The open workspace is another great thing. It lets everyone be able to join in on any conversation that is happening. There is a lot of shouting out. Tons of sharing of both cool, stupid and odd things we all find.
DESCRIBE YOUR AESTHETIC APPROACH TO DESIGN. I would say my default is distressed. Think Shepard Fairey. I dig how it looks. It adds a lot of warmth and texture to most things. And I have a ton of bag of tricks to easily pull it off quickly. Unless I am stuck using a brands specific font, I typically default to Helvetica Neue or Gotham. I do like trying to pick color palettes that one would not think work together at first, but once it is together it has a good tension and balance.
DESCRIBE THE MOST SATISFYING PROJECT THIS YEAR. Overall was the Com – Cast spot, which involved a chimp. This was a long sought after concept I wanted to do.

2 2E CREATIVE DESCRIBE CLIENTELE?
HOW MANY DESIGNERS?
2E focuses on clients in the healthcare and biotech,such as hospital systems, cancer researchers, medical devices and technologies. At the end of the day, we work with clients that share the same passion as we do which is that drive to change the world and make it a better place. And that goes all the way to the pro–bono clients we work with as well.
The design comes from 3 creative people in our agency: 1 creative director, and 2 art directors.
DESCRIBE YOUR AESTHETIC APPROACH TO DESIGN. Start with typography, minimalistic style and very structured; that's like my comfort zone. But I have to say I go through several phases though; I guess we are so exposed nowadays to so much creativity that is impossible to feel inspired and start picking up different styles. That's not to say it's a bad thing. I think that as creative people, our biggest challenge is to constantly find that formula to keep current but without loosing perspective of who you are and not cross the line of imitation. As Israel Zangwill said, “The past is for inspiration, not imitation, for continuation, not repetition”.
20 DESIGN FIRMS THE INSIDE SCOOP
PRIMARY PRINT / WEB ?
HOW MUCH FREEDOM DO YOU ALLOW DESIGNERS? Well technically we don't have any graphic designers, myself and the other directors do all the designing, it comes down to the clients needs.
We do both.
HOW LONG HAS 2E CREATIVE AROUND? 2E has been in business for 14 years.
introduction
ARE THERE ANY ACTIVITIES THAT MAKE THIS A FUN ENVIRONMENT? Out of the other places I’ve worked, or even hear about, we have a strong team. We appreciate and respect each–other, these are the people I see myself hanging out with even after someone leaves. We are all friends here rather than just co–workers.
DESCRIBE THE MOST SATISFYING PROJECT THIS YEAR. I would have to say the branding we did for this local company called ISTO. The product was a juvenile living cartilage for deteriorated joints, mainly in the knees. This is juvenile living cartilage, but it's basically a natural cartilage solution. After a certain age, your cartilage stops regenerating and it start deteriorating, therefore by using juvenile cartilage implants it is almost like turning back the time a few years for your knees. We wrote three brand narrative and created the whole branding for each narrative which includes logo, tag line, qualifier, color palette, photography style and graphic elements, and applied them to several contextual examples so that the client can get an idea of how each of the concepts expands into real applications.

WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR UPCOMING DESIGN STUDENTS? Take as many internships as possible as you learn so much from each and it's a great way for you to test if a place is really fitting for you or not. Always stay true to your own style. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Reach out to people for interviews or advice. Your first job will never be your dream job, so stop trying. That doesn't mean you should just take any job. You have to love something about your job, otherwise, it becomes mechanic and you start loosing your passion.
WHAT IS THE MOST CHALLENGING POINT OF THE STUDIO? Creatively speaking, working with healthcare focused clients is always challenging as this industry and its audience has such a predetermined look that they are all so accustomed to; blue, doctors and nurses smiling, researchers holding a test tube. So as a team, we are always trying to break those visual standards and bring something fresh to the table, but obviously, without ignoring our client's objectives and the reality of their audiences.

3 TOKY DESCRIBE CLIENTELE?
HOW MANY DESIGNERS?
Ethics play a lot in our clients. I like to deal with companies that share the same beliefs I do. Arts and culture, like local museums, and clients we like to call “World Changers”.
The design team is about 20.
HOW LONG HAS TOKY BEEN AROUND? 16 1/2 years ago
WHAT IS THE MOST CHALLENGING POINT OF THE STUDIO? Out of those 16 years, eight of those years have been recession or coming out of recession, but eight that have been really strong.
HOW MUCH FREEDOM DO YOU ALLOW DESIGNERS? Depends on the designer, and client. The experienced designers teach the younger designers to be thinkers, and not just decorators.
PRIMARY PRINT / WEB ? All three. Brand Identity, print collateral, advertising, Interactive, photography, video orography, content strategy, social media. All facets of content, we stop at interior design.

introduction
ARE THERE ANY ACTIVITIES THAT MAKE THIS A FUN ENVIRONMENT?
DESCRIBE THE MOST SATISFYING PROJECT THIS YEAR.
This is one of the quieter offices. It is because we are nerdy, academic people and we love our jobs. We do a lot of happy hours, and every autumn we send out someone to do whatever they want. Something they have never done before and without their spouse. They just have to come back and give a report on it to the rest of the team. If they want to go sky diving, we will pay for it, just get out there and have a great experience, we look forward to these opportunities.
A project for Gautam N Yadama. He works at Washington University as a social scientist. This project involved environmental, social, and economic problems and was really exciting to create the book. Mark Katzman was the photographer. Not only is it an important book, it is a beautiful book.
DESCRIBE YOUR AESTHETIC APPROACH TO DESIGN. My goal, and most art directors would say, have employees with multiple styles. This way, when a client comes in, I can orchestrate the office to bring the right tone to the particular project and client.
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR UPCOMING DESIGN STUDENTS? Figure out what you are passionate about. It is easy to get stuck with the immediate financial return, but that is always going to be the companies that are the worst for the world. Be deliberate on what you are learning from job to job, learn a new skill set at each place, and then finally, start your own business.

4 KIKU OBATA DESCRIBE CLIENTELE?
HOW MANY DESIGNERS?
Green River Greenway, Brown Shoe, Lambart Airport renovation, and other local companies.
All together designing 8 art directors 19 in the firm.
HOW LONG HAS KIKU OBATA BEEN AROUND? Kiku founded the company in 1977.
HOW MUCH FREEDOM DO YOU ALLOW DESIGNERS? We all contribute to each other, so we quickly know what not to do. Kiku is involved throughout the process, and has the final say.
WHAT IS THE MOST CHALLENGING POINT OF THE STUDIO? Depending on the project, and client. Due dates, and sometimes the right mix of people tackling a project.
introduction
PRIMARY PRINT / WEB ? One of the first to be multidisciplinary We do everything including, branding, environmental, web, interactive. Everything for the client, rather than outsource the project for certain parts.

FLEISHMANHILLARD 35
ARE THERE ANY ACTIVITIES THAT MAKE THIS A FUN ENVIRONMENT? Not on a regular basis, they will come up we have scheduled breaks, We do field trips, visit studios, or sometimes show and tell our pet projects.
DESCRIBE YOUR AESTHETIC APPROACH TO DESIGN. Whatever suites the client and project.
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR UPCOMING DESIGN STUDENTS? Expose yourselves to the best design possible. Whether walking around, annuals, visiting studios, designer web sites, keep your eye open for design. Learn how to draw. Generate ideas quickly, you can sketch 10 ideas quicker than you can create 10 ideas on the computer. Try and hone your hand skills. Do not rely on the computer so much. It is interesting seeing the thought process, and sketch's reinforce the design.
DESCRIBE THE MOST SATISFYING PROJECT THIS YEAR. We work as teams usually, but we all have our own pet project. I enjoyed Shakespeare festival posters. I have been working with this client for thirteen years and we have a lot of fun

5 FLEISHMANHILLARD DESCRIBE CLIENTELE? Treat others, as you would treat yourself. This is very important because while designing you have to keep the client in mind every move you make. This usually results in knowing the company just as well as the client knows their company. We work with AT&T and Kraftig beer.
HOW MUCH FREEDOM DO YOU ALLOW DESIGNERS? As long as the designers are staying in brand standards, we like to get as much personality as possible. It is open range for our design team.
PRIMARY PRINT / WEB ? We do everything. We have a great production area, and we hardly have to outsource anything.
ARE THERE ANY ACTIVITIES THAT MAKE THIS A FUN ENVIRONMENT? We do, there is a giant wall sized chalk board in the open area, for anyone to add to, or just exercise their creativity. We hold a weekly stand up meeting, to keep our blood flowing. We have a patio on the 20 th floor that we use for lunch, and breaks. Everyone needs to break up their work day, it is important that people don't become bored.
40 DESIGN FIRMS THE INSIDE SCOOP
WHAT IS THE MOST CHALLENGING POINT OF THE STUDIO? The most challenging point is that our clients are the same so it is hard to come up with refreshing ideas.
HOW LONG HAS FH BEEN AROUND? FleishmanHillard was built in 1974.
DESCRIBE YOUR AESTHETIC APPROACH TO DESIGN. Case and point, eliminate as much clutter as possible. Follow the trends, and try to tell a story. Have a strong concept, work in metaphors, involving unique characteristics. Challenge yourself, if you give yourself a short period of time, you rely on your instincts, a great starting point. Instead of filling, find well thought out symbols to convey the message.
DESCRIBE THE MOST SATISFYING PROJECT THIS YEAR. The most satisfying project was CityArchRiver.org web site this past year. The idea of overlapping current pictures of the Arch grounds, to future renderings of the Arch grounds makes this not only informative but a thrilling experience as you catch a glimpse of the much anticipated Arch grounds.
42 DESIGN FIRMS THE INSIDE SCOOP
HOW MANY DESIGNERS? Well I am not 100% sure, but my guess is 24 designers, & 4 Creative Directors.
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR UPCOMING DESIGN STUDENTS? At FleishmanHillard we are an agency, and as humans, it can be very overwhelming. The turn around time is most important, there are few projects we get to have full control over, but for the most part clients come first, and creativity accompanies the clients. Always have confidence, your first Intuition is a great start. Always make your subject applicable. Take web one & two, motion, and UX.

6 THINKHAPPYMEDIUM DESCRIBE CLIENTELE?
HOW MANY DESIGNERS?
It has been all across the board. We do a lot of direct client work, like Edward Jones, Bungee. Agencies usually come to us as sub contracts. We also build our own products for apple, we have two Apps in the App store. Tiggly is one toy App we've created.
Started with four, twelve all together.
HOW LONG HAS THINKHAPPYMEDIUM BEEN AROUND? We started January 2011.
WHAT IS THE MOST CHALLENGING POINT OF THE STUDIO? The most challenging thing is playing catch up, at least when I first started. I would say the give and take of design, and programing. An idea will sound great, but when you share it with the programmers it might just not be possible. So thinking of how others are going to program and implement it, from the design, can be difficult.
HOW MUCH FREEDOM DO YOU ALLOW DESIGNERS? It has to be right for the client is my only guideline. I ask for three designs, one that is safe, another that pushes it a bit farther, and one that is out there.
PRIMARY PRINT / WEB ? All digital, including web, Apps, IPhone, and Android.

DESCRIBE THE MOST SATISFYING PROJECT THIS YEAR.
ARE THERE ANY ACTIVITIES THAT MAKE THIS A FUN ENVIRONMENT?
We created an Application for the IPad this year, called Athletic Trainer Plus. It is around 600 videos for balance, strength, and manual therapy. It is a free App to download. Another project would be our web site. There is a lot more freedom and personal style when branding for your company, we had one open week and we challenged ourselves to finish it in one week.
We normally exercise every hour, get out of the chairs and do something to get away from the screens, unless we are super busy. I always watch movies while I design, movies I've seen, I am not sure why it is, but it might help me stay out of ruts and focusing too hard. Really our environment helps too, we are all tight nit, and mainly nerdy, becoming friends really quickly.
DESCRIBE YOUR AESTHETIC APPROACH TO DESIGN.
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR UPCOMING DESIGN STUDENTS?
I love illustrations. I strive to separate my style from client work. How simple can I make the user experience. I have a rule of three I stick too. What this means is, have a strong color pallet, no more than three colors, no more than three fonts, or font sizes, when you do animations, one thing is expected, two is interesting, and three is mind blowing. That third thing is almost magic, but once you go over, people think you are just showing off. Design until you feel good, and then take away as much as you can, making it very minimal, and eliminating clutter.
Figure out where you fit in. It might be hard, and it comes with failure, but rely on your instinct to bring you there. Keep learning along the way and you will find where you'll fit.
THINKHAPPYMEDIUM 49
7 GREIG GRAPHICS ARE THERE ANY ACTIVITIES THAT MAKE THIS A FUN ENVIRONMENT?
DESCRIBE THE MOST SATISFYING PROJECT THIS YEAR.
The learning. Getting into another realm of learning and exchanging ideas and knowledge with people all across the world, I enjoy the clients I work with.
I would say the LED mini catalog, because of the deadline and results it created for the client.
DESCRIBE YOUR AESTHETIC APPROACH TO DESIGN. What I have done is, image fits the message. Simple, to the point, with photography, illustration, and typography.
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR UPCOMING DESIGN STUDENTS? Learn history of art, and delve into the new technologies. Always experiment with your ideas and concepts.

DESCRIBE THE MOST SATISFYING PROJECT THIS YEAR.
Well, I really am spontaneous so, happy hour happens! We love the Cardinals and local sports teams so we go to games some work days just as a surprise break.
The Balloon Race in Saint Louis, I got to ride in a hot air balloon for creating a logo for the owner. It was the first time the Balloon race gave credit to the designer of the balloon logo
DESCRIBE YOUR AESTHETIC APPROACH TO DESIGN.
WHAT IS THE MOST CHALLENGING POINT OF THE STUDIO?
It is really about satisfying the client I know what I like, but the most important is the client.
Depends on which year, maybe month. But I really work hard with the staff, because we fluctuate a lot, it is hard to be the human resource guy.
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR UPCOMING DESIGN STUDENTS?
introduction
The people who know more, and that work harder, will go further. Look for opportunities to work your hardest, and have a great personality while doing it.

9 ABSTRAKT ARE THERE ANY ACTIVITIES THAT MAKE THIS A FUN ENVIRONMENT?
DESCRIBE THE MOST SATISFYING PROJECT THIS YEAR.
Yes, every Friday we have a drink cart that goes around and they serve your favorite adult beverage. We work in an open space, so we socialize a lot. It is fun when everyone gets involved in the conversations, it makes it interesting. Also once a month we have an agency meeting and go out after work together.
I really enjoyed the Hortica campaign. I did the photography, and got to meet with the employees. Also Fiat was fun, it including tons of social media stuff and involved the targeted audience.
DESCRIBE YOUR AESTHETIC APPROACH TO DESIGN. I remember what a teacher said in high school, K.I.S.S: Keep it simple stupid. Clean and to the point, and realize the main message. Get in touch with the client and try to mold design and what they want created.
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR UPCOMING DESIGN STUDENTS? I think with all the videos, web, and digital interactive, do not only learn design, but dip in each category & have more knowledge across the board, giving your portfolio a range.
64 DESIGN FIRMS THE INSIDE SCOOP
WHAT IS THE MOST CHALLENGING POINT OF THE STUDIO? We do not have a production room, so printing can become a headache. Getting the outsource and right colors from screen to print is challenging.
