Earlier this year, we started an exciting side project by asking 26 of our shop owners to help us celebrate our first year anniversary<\/strong>! The idea was pretty simple: make each letter of the alphabet represent an element or principle of design<\/strong>. Then, we asked some of shop owners to illustrate their letter’s designated concept. The illustrations that we got back from these talented individuals were amazing, and we’re delighted to share the results with you today!
\nWe partnered with our friends at Help Ink<\/a><\/strong> to offer prints and posters of the illustrated letters, with the proceeds supporting All Hands<\/a> and their recovery efforts in the Philippines<\/strong>.
\nBrowse and purchase your favorite letters for friend or a loved one this holiday season — all in the spirit of charity.<\/p>\n
