happy holidays from studio-e

Wishing you a very warm holiday season. May your cookie-filled days be merry and bright!

Happy Thanksgiving from studio-e

Giving thanks while sharing food—what could be better! 

Before we head off to give thanks we'd like to share a few seasonal recipes with you. We've selected a gluten free stuffing and a delicious cranberry sauce that we have made using local cranberries and maple syrup. 

Recipes are from the The Gaining Ground Table, a cookbook we designed and produced for Gaining Ground, a local, nonprofit, organic farm that donates all of its produce to area food pantries and meal programs. Graining Ground is a place we are thankful for! [read more]

afternoon tea with studio-e

At studio-e, food and conversation have marked the beginning of our best relationships. Four years ago, for example, we brought our portfolio, our ideas and fresh chocolate rugelach to Westover School in Connecticut and began a relationship that has continued to grow. As a strategic design firm that works exclusively with educational institutions, we successfully guided Westover through a branding process, resulting in new admissions and campaign materials that differentiate the school, promote its unique character, and attract and recruit students and donors.

In an effort to solidify our existing relationships and build new ones with independent schools in our region, we’re reaching out with ideas—and food. During our campaign, “Afternoon tea with studio-e,” we’ll be bringing tea and scones to the admissions, communications and development staff of interested local schools to discuss their current issues and share ideas.

At studio-e, we go the extra mile. We don’t just create the design; sometimes we are the design.

Our very own Frank O’Toole graces the cover of GRE General Test: The Very Best Coaching and Study Course, now available on amazon.

How Frank became a test prep model:

A few months ago, he stopped by his former place of work, Weymouth Design, and got pulled into a photo shoot. “Everyone was doing it,” he says. The photographer gave Frank his shirt and blazer, then led the models to the Boston Common.

our new year’s resolutions

This year, I asked the studio-e team to compile some resolutions, one personal and one professional. Though there was a bit of (good-natured) grumbling, we all pulled through—and quite nicely.

So, without further ado, we give you the official studio-e new year’s resolutions (plus one hope). Happy 2010! [read more]
