Over nearly a decade in business, we’ve seen our share of patterns and trends. One of the most consistent ones relates to imitation. Small companies often want to look like the larger players in the market. So they start copying what others are doing and miss out on a whole bunch of opportunities that could [...]]]></description>

We don&#8217;t showcase our identity-related work very much, but it&#8217;s still a big part of what we do at smashLAB. The fact is, a lot of the organizations need help in defining their brand strategies. Once we&#8217;ve helped them do so, we&#8217;re often brought-in to work on a more long-term basis.

It&#8217;s Oscar&#8217;s birthday today&#8211;he&#8217;s now three! This left me reminiscing about the packages I made to celebrate his arrival.

Eric spoke at the GDC&#8217;s &#8220;Practivism&#8221; event last November, alongside Brian Dougherty and Mark Alt. In his talk he discusses smashLAB&#8217;s Design Can Change, the challenges in being more sustainable, and our culture of consumption. (Along the way he swears a little.)
