— Dior Joaillerie
That Dior’s new book pays homage to the wonders of fine jewellery is, in itself, a delight. That it focuses specifically on the work of its head jewellery and watch designer Victoire de Castellane, is even more so. This beautifully filled tome is one that all lovers of jewellery, fantasy and fabulous adornment have been waiting for.

— Henry & Co. Real Estate
An unusually quirky and heartwarming visual identity for a real estate company based out of Austin, Texas. Like nothing I’ve ever seen before for an estate agent (commendably brave for them to step out of the box with this I think).
The vintage imagery is the icing on the cake for me, just lovely.
