Jonathan Quainton of Sawdust contacted me about their work and I quite impressed by it. They’re a London based firm that specializes in print design,
corporate identity and branding.

I’m personally drooling over this printed material pictured above promoting a bar in London.

Stunning identity design for photography studio rw/2 by Sebastian Gram while working with Hello Monday. Excellent choice of color, love the minty green, and great use of white space. The grid brings all these elements together to create a superb design.
