Art with Heart Brand Refreshment - [Interview with Heidi Durham.]

October 19, 2017

Since opening almost two years ago, SZ has donated proceeds of our art sales to Art with Heart, a non-profit organization in Seattle that uses creativity and art to support the emotional well-being of children affected by trauma and hardship. During the Art with Heart Founder's Celebration last February, Steffanie Lorig, the Founder of Art with Heart, handed over the reins to Heidi Durham to lead their growing team -- and now Art with Heart is going through a brand refreshment!

After over twenty years of helping children overcome trauma through creative expression, Art with Heart is redesigning the brand with a new visual look and online platform. This brand redesign represents the evolution that comes with new technology and the desire to impact an evolving, global audience. To aid to even more children, they will be providing training models and educational tools on their website based on the curricula they have personally developed over the years. Through a new website design and online resources, their goal is to reach practitioners who work with children all over the world.

I had the opportunity to chat with Heidi Durham, CEO of Art with Heart, and ask questions about the brand redesign, set to launch in late December. Read on for more details about Art with Heart's identity as they evolve and grow.

Coppei Partners - Design for Innovative Collaboration

October 5, 2017

Suzanne and her team recently completed a 4,500 square foot office design for Coppei Partners, aimed to capture the company’s culture in every inch of the space.

Located on Mercer Island, WA, Coppei Partners is a consulting firm made of seasoned and skilled professionals who provide their clients with transformative strategies on Project Leadership, SAP Implementation Services, Technology Solutions, Change Management, and People Development. With the redesign recently completed in September 2017, Coppei’s office space is now able to accommodate their growing firm and support their highly collaborative environment through an innovative use of space.

To share more about how the remodel has influenced Coppei Partners, I corresponded with Carrie Dallas and Travis Larsen of Coppei Partners to ask how they’re enjoying the newly designed space and how they imagine it will help the company continue to grow. The Q&A has been organized based on the variety of questions, which pertained to productivity, company identity and culture, scaling the business, and any other thoughts.

Caruccio's Grand Opening!

September 27, 2017

We had a wonderful time at the Grand Opening for Caruccio's on September 14th! Delicious food was shared and glasses of champagne were clinked all evening.

The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was a special moment for everyone involved in the project -- the excitement of seeing Lisa's dream become a reality was truly felt once the ribbon was cut and the center was filled with people celebrating. Rino Caruccio, Lisa's husband, gave a touching speech to mark the momentous occasion!

Caruccio's is now open, with lots of events on their calendar -- visit their website for details on their latest events.
