I started full-time at what was then Struck Design on June 16, 2003. There were 4 of us in an 800 sq. ft. room on the second floor of the old Sweet’s Candy Factory in SLC. It was a great space: a beat up hardwood floor, exposed beams, a newly designed vinyl dot pattern on [...]
ter.pi.tude / n: inherent baseness : depravity See if you can work it into casual conversation this week. For example: Dude, did you see the game last night? The terpitude of those refs was unconscionable.

Dr. Warren (DubJay) Jeffs toured the studio the other day, looking for a shop to handle the branding for his new casino kiosk business. Unfortunately we couldn’t make the business deal work, but did snap some beautiful shots at the veggie tray meet’n’greet. Holla!
It was a chilly Utah morning made a bit warmer by the surprising treat of one of these custom-designed (and warm enough for any tundra) screenprinted hoodies (laid gently with care) on each of the Struckers’ chairs this Thursday.
