Remember to look up every now and then. Grateful for our new #chendesign studio space.

Very excited about this early Christmas gift -- can't wait to pore over every last #nasaworm #branding detail. Thanks @alexcasella12 for indulging this nerdy #chendesign #typophile 🤓

Holiday happy hour started early today. What a crazy amazing year it's been. We can't wait to see what 2017 brings our way. #chendesign discovers #makewesting

The ultimate #tbt -- 88 years ago on this date in 1928, our #chendesign studio was the sparkling new home of the Guaranty Building & Loan. Reports the Tribune: "The building will set a new style for Oakland. Of colonial architecture, simple in line and dignified in appearance..."

Finally out: winter 2016 catalog by #chendesign for @benefitcosmetics lands in 35 countries worldwide. We've almost never been this cheeky and quirky in so many languages.

Always proof print pieces in printed form. Always. We still do after all these years (and technological advances). #tuesdaytip from your friendly #chendesign team

All set for talent to show up. #chendesign photo shoot for Money magazine #calmbeforethestorm

How many #chendesign staff can fit in the rickety studio elevator? Apparently 9 when there's a double-birthday lunch involved.
