Nothing says summer in Minnesota like the @mnstatefair. From art to food-on-a-stick, you can find creativity everywhere! One of our designers, @emmibee, was inspired by the 12 days of fun and created her own illustrated series that captures the essence of our beloved State Fair.

For the second year in a row, the Ignatian Spirituality Center at @stthomasmorestpaul requested our help creating a digital experience for their annual ”Walking with Ignatius” 10-day event.
We animated daily reflection videos that were then emailed to participants each morning of the event. Each video featured a speaker presenting a new spiritual reflection on either the life of Ignatius, or a significant excerpt from the Spiritual Exercises.
▶️ All 2025 videos are now available on their website. Link in bio.

🌕 Tonight’s Full Sturgeon Moon will swim through the sky. The name originates from the abundance of Great Lakes sturgeon traditionally caught this time of year, though today they are considered Critically Endangered.
🐟 The sturgeon is among the largest of the freshwater bony fish, with a lineage that can be traced back to the Jurassic. On average, they live up to 60 years, and the largest of them can grow up to several meters in length.

Nothing says summer like the nostalgic taste of an orange creamsicle. 🍊☀️ Our client, @emilysfreshkitchen, captures the essence of this summer treat in her Orange Creamsicle Smoothie recipe. Combining orange juice, yogurt, vanilla and a touch of honey, this refreshing and delicious drink will keep you cool on those hot summer days.
