Here by Design II
I both love and hate the StarTribune online, when they post an article like, Goldstein gathers Twin Cities designers in gallery show, by Linda Mack. I love it for publishing an article that highlights the Twin Cities design community – it’s artists, institutions, and companies, and I hate it for not linking to those artists, institutions, and companies mentioned within the article. After actually tracking down the Exhibition at The Goldstien Museum of Design, I am again disappointed to see the artists and company’s listed again without links. So for my own sanity, here are the links:

Baltix. Ecobuzz office furniture.

An article in IDonline on Bamboo’s Kathy Soranno package design work for Schroeder milk.

Blinc Publishing. A design company that specializes in letterpress printing. Bill Moran, owner, was my typography instructor.

blu dot design. Furniture designers. I also hold these guys singlehandedly responsible for the current trend in restaurant names incorporating the word “blu” in their name.

Blue Fish Furniture. A “design studio offering our clients custom artistic lighting fixtures .”

Caldrea “devoted to helping you make your household chores more enjoyable. This linnk ommission is especially disconcerting as Caldrea have a very beautiful website.

Larson. Design and interactive agency.

Some Works by Lisa Elias.

Redlurered(coming soon). This place has the dopest furniture in town.

Richard Helgeson, “has been building things for 25 years, first as a carpenter and home builder, and for the last decade as a furniture maker”.

Spunk Nation. Branding, Typography, Playful designs.

Thomas Oliphant Studios. Furniture design. I almost bought his bottle opener the other day. Great design.

Wink graphic design. Some of their book cover designs can be seen here.
