Never a dull moment when working with Tyler over at Nostalgia Chocolate. I couldn't thank him enough for all the work, creativity, freedom & most of all chocolate when we see each other. I truly believe he's got this bean to bar thing on lockdown... check it out & I think you'll agree. www.nostalgiachocolates.com

In the realm of great tasting chocolate, Nostalgia is on a whole other level. Now, mix that determination with the quest to make some things even better & Wallah, Nostalgia now offers up the next amazing thing to hit your tongue Nostalgia Cocoa Powder. Treat yourself (& your taste buds) to the best there is. Enjoy it in a smoothie, mix it with your favorite sweetener & some milk or make some fresh fruit taste even better by adding some of Nostalgia cocoa powder to it. The uses are endless... try it, enjoy it & let your baking run wild.

Every so often, a promo item just merges beautifully & it's easy to see the witty approach or creative concept. A great friend, an avid scuba diver & diving instructor, Pete asked me to work on this awesome promo item for his calling in life... his passion. A water bottle that represents a scuba tank is perfection for a marketing/promotional giveaway. The final idea just fell into place & when you talk to pete about this passion of his, he'll be the first to tell you he's an scubaholic. Thanks Pete!!

I gotta give credit where credit is due. Darwin consists of some of the best sandwich creators/artistisans we are so fortunate to have right down the street. The food is amazing, the staff are amazing & the consistency of awesomeness is 110% every time. Check out their brand new website (props to them for doing it in-house) & see the approach & the artistic touch to their craft. Visit them soon, sit outside & see for yourself how enjoyable this place is. I guarantee it won’t be anything less than awesome. www.darwinonclinton.com

"There's ALWAYS a reason for chocolate..." When the new owner of the infamous chocolatier shoppe in the beautiful downtown Armory Square needed to refresh the signage that adorns their shoppe, we're glad they called upon assante design to help out. The new owner is an awesome guy (when you meet him, you'll agree) but he also makes everything in-house. Once you see the place, it's hard to leave without picking a "lil something up" before leaving. We here at assante design wou...ld like to say Thanks for allowing us to make the outside as amazing as the inside. Good Luck with your endevor Adam. A famous poet once said "a balanced diet is chocolate in both hands..." I think he may be right.

There's this one special client of mine who built one of the most spectacular bed & breakfasts in Keuka Lake. After realizing they are going to move to Costa Rica & open another location, we were asked to help. We cut this BEAUTIFUL piece out of two pieces of stainless steel. I wasn't able to install it but the owners did the install a few weeks ago. In over 25 years of design/creative/installation projects, there are some projects that just couldn't look any more perfect o...nce completed. THIS is EASILY one of those projects. I thank Joan & Bruce for sharing this with me & entrusting assante design to complete this project... even if it was from 3870 or so miles away. Enjoy!

EASILY one of my favorite clients... lululemon. My gratitude matches their enthusiasm & their enthusiasm will ALWAYS be matched by my gratitude. I couldn't ask for a better experience. Thanks again!!

As always, a HUGE shout-out & THANK YOU to our favorite lululemon-ites for their continued support & trust to do our best job every time. Always enjoy the challenge & will continue to step-up each time.

The lululemon manifesto project. Once complete, it looked amazing. Thanks again to all my lululemon peeps. yep. yep.

"What happens when you run for the experience, the feelings, & the mindfulness instead of the distance, speed, & miles? What if you run to let your mind be free?" I could never be just "satisfied" as a business owner/creative director, but when it comes to a single or group of ecstatic clientele, that's about as exciting as it gets for me. That client is ALL of the awesome peeps at lululemon. As I always say "THANK YOU for all YOU allow US to do so well...".
