Central Office

Got around to photographing our work for one of the most fun and creative projects we’ve had the pleasure of working on.

Our collaboration with has been nothing but a joy. With each new project, we gain more than just work—rides and creative freedom are always part of the deal.

You start a creative business, thinking you’re in the driver’s seat—making decisions, taking risks, navigating the journey. But then, over time, you realize: maybe you’re not the ones driving anymore.

Our son, Anders, has been with us since the beginning, watching and learning. Now, we’re the ones watching him. He’s creative directing and designing branding for high school clubs, including the Art Club, and he’s a member of Youth Leadership Council. You can even spot him in the second image at a City Hall meeting, collaborating with city leaders—including his mentor, Mayor Joe Buck.

And as much as we’re thrilled to be in the back seat for his ride, we’re still here for hire—working with companies big and small, on projects both large and sometimes hard to describe. After 10 years in business, we’ve added new skills, offering social, verbal, and film content to help shape your brand for today’s world.

Through all the twists and turns, one thing has stayed the same: Anders has been in the passenger seat with us, every mile of the way. 🧡

Solstices and equinoxes correlate to cardinal signs, celebrating the beginnings of their respective seasons. What is the autumnal equinox? During the autumnal equinox, the sun shines directly on the equator, and the northern and southern hemispheres get the same amount of rays. The alignment officially occurs this year at 8:03 p.m. Thursday. The fall equinox ushers in the arrival of balance. Representing an era of compromise and reflection, to correspond with a time of equal darkness and light. Photo:

Prompting A SENSE OF SLOW AND NOW TO REDEFINE LUXURY. We took .hotel Tributary Hotel, located in McMinnville, Oregon, with its surrounding wine-producing countryside, at escape-distance from Portland, as an opportunity to do something hugely ambitious. A several-year-long collaboration with a cohort of experts in hospitality strategy, horticulture, and of course, slow food methodologies.

It was both a bigger picture project and an obsessively detail-driven one — we re-contextualized the hotel as part of a vast and delicately balanced ecosystem, with deep roots in the riches of the land and the instinct to preserve them. We cultivated a new breed of hospitality, truly embedded in seasonality and in tune with the nature surrounding it.

Agencies come to Central Office to augment internal resources and provide consultation on a myriad of problems. This problem came via Canadian based who was in an RFP for the business circa spring 2021. We were asked to design and produce their 278 page bound response for the pitch. In 10 days! We pulled it off without a hitch. Edition of 20, bright white paper, linen cover, custom black foil stamping, half dust jacket.
