Welcome

Brain plus Heart

Clients

A partial list of present and past clients.

Jolly & Goode

Jolly & Goode is a British fashion brand and cheeky gift shop for Brits and Anglophiles, with an expansive collection of stylish Union Jack apparel.

We help the company with brand storytelling, design, and all aspects of global e-commerce on Shopify.

CooperVision

CooperVision is a global contact lens manufacturer and brand with e-commerce sites in the US, Canada, UK, EU, Asia, Latin America, Africa, and other markets.

We help the company market its commercial software to eye-care providers by producing a wide variety of localized creative assets, including videos for different markets, global event materials, presentations for top management, explainer videos, and more. Our work began by interviewing eye-care providers about their needs and wants.

Deloitte

Deloitte is a global consulting firm that serves and advises some of the smartest brands and businesses around the world.

We helped Deloitte’s Center for The Edge present its future-forward recommendations to clients—not in the form of a PowerPoint, but in a printed book of short stories, making the recommendations more memorable and more enjoyable to receive and review. Most of these “science fiction” scenarios are now emerging realities.

Wheels of Peace

Wheels of Peace fostered dialogue between the youth of Iran and the United States. It was led by American cyclist-adventurer-photographer Rick Gunn and Iranian cyclist and ecological activist Mohammad Tajeran.

We helped the effort by creating a website they could share with the press, and a private social network that students could use to communicate with each other.

Charles Schwab

Charles Schwab is a financial services firm founded in San Francisco. Schwab was an early pioneer in empowering investors with digital technologies.

Working with Schwab’s marketing department, technology teams, and internal creative agency, we helped the company develop publishing technologies to improve communications between investors and advisers.

Left Coast Magazine

Left Coast magazine blended regional lifestyle pieces with solution-oriented politics.

We worked with over 100 contributors to help define the voice and approach. We designed the logo and crafted the slogan: On Your Wavelength. Topic areas included Science & Technology, Arts, Economics, Climate, and forward-thinking solutions for the most pressing socioeconomic problems in the region.


Maui Luxe Villa

Maui Luxe Villa is a luxury property in the Ka’anapali Beach area of Maui.

We helped the owners create a direct booking site with a synced booking calendar across all short-term rental platforms, integrated with the resort’s property management software for a seamless, high-touch guest experience.

Services

Writing

We provide writing of all kinds: books, scripts, ads, comics, speeches, presentations, articles, naming, and more. We’re decorated storytellers, New York Times bestselling authors, French graphic novelists, you name it—or we will, if it’s a business or product.

Design

We know what good is—and how good works. And we use this knowledge to create amazing logos, websites, shareable content, ads, voiceover recordings, videos, digital and printed books, apparel, and more.

Consulting

We’re known for our incisive minds and creative hearts. And for producing work that captures lightning in a bottle—a combination of clarity and energy that leads to a surprisingly great result.
