Eric and Melissa's new businesses

When we do things, evidently we do them in multiples because we LOVE stress.

I am still working through the logo for my container brand. But happy to announce it has a name, Terrene. Look for a logo soon! I'm not ready to show the in-progress.

Eric's business, however, is starting to take shape with a logo, identity and business cards coming soon. Take a look at the wonderful designs, all courtesy of a very talented former co-worker of mine, Jaime Linning Smith at FRCH Design but also has her own freelance business.


As you may know, the term 'Transom' is actually a term that refers to both buildings and boats.

Transom LLC Design Build specializes in small space design and fabrication. Transom leverages Eric’s background in yacht and product design to formulate innovative, yet practical solutions that use the latest techniques in material craft.

For example, he can do concrete countertop installations, mantle and hearth designs, entryway designs, and more...And yes mom, someday, the garage and recycling can pavilion.

Eric's guiding brand attributes are Honesty, Tactile, Craft, and Contemporary.
And yes there was a creative brief. Does this surprise you?


Option 1 - business cards

Option 2 - Business Cards




Happy Dad's Day, Dad!

A tribute to my dad, at one of the happiest days of my life! A toast to happier days ahead as well for all....

Melissa's Birthday 2010 - 31 years old!!

OMG, it has been quite the year. I think I feel every bit of my thirty one years. We celebrated the turning of the year with a trip to Manzanita, Oregon with Sharon, Simon, Hazel, and Minnie.At surfer beach!

A relaxing afternoon on the beach.

Minnie was tired from her hike and ended up burying herself in the towels at the beach.

Hazel and her mom, Sharon.

The boys and girls.
Sooooooo tired. That's a dangerous end.
