| Blugrn
Design • Lucia Hamilton |
Our BLUE
and GREEN planet is composed of earth,
water and sky: the key elements of bLuGrn design.
I'm a Texas native who lives and works in
D.C.
but still travels constantly back to Houston
where I grew up.
My training in Engineering and Architecture gives
me both a problem solving and aesthetic approach
to designing. As I gather inspiration through
my travels and surroundings (sometimes literally
- little treasures gathered in my pockets) I
am always looking for new ways to showcase beauty
composed in harmony.
I hope to bring new perspective and appreciation
of the everyday with my designs.

Design • Jack Hernandez |
Jack has
been a graphic designer for as long as he can't
remember. He's an artist of sorts who never
seems to have time to work on personal projects
... but will one day. He's a fan of ephemera
and retro designs, not the printed, manufactured
junk in craft stores, but the good stuff in
dusty shops. Antiquity mixes well with urban
decay and print ... it's what dreams are made
of and what he integrates into his design andart
... including this web site.
