Krohn Design

Lisa is freshly back from HighGround in Buena Vista, Colorado, where she and a handful of design thinkers and practitioners discussed everything from beauty and authenticity to decision making, leisure, how to add innovation and inclusiveness to recording design history, the future of limited, localized mass production, how to teach visual literacy and more. Lisa used her 7 minutes discussing the recent history of "intentional communities" and proposing her vision for the Hub...Continue reading

Here's a blast from the past: epic artist and graphic designer Ed Fella's awesome poster announcing Lisa's talk at CalArts:

The high chair catch-all product we designed and developed for Realinnovators is on the market! We are now working on a version for 2-legged highchairs as well, stay tuned for that.

We designed the #logo, #brand and #packaging for #Duho, a #new #brand of #Dominican #premium #cigars featuring the #artwork of a #prominent #local #artist.

#Designed and #prototyped before the #age of #cellphones, the #web and #smartphones, the #Wrist #Computer combined the features of #GPS, #phone, #wristwatch and #regional #information #guide.

#5 #functions in #1 #product: this is a #nightlight, #emergency #light, a #hands #free #utility #lamp, a #hand-held #traditional #flashlight and a #lantern. When the #power runs #down, users can turn the #crank to #power it #back up!

CAO asked us to #help #make their #flavored #cigars #appeal to #young, #hip #smokers. #Men thought flavored #cigars were not #masculine enough. We worked on #strategy, #branding, #graphic, #packaging, #costume and #character #design and #tradeshow #presence. We created a costumed #character or "#flavourette" representing each #flavor whose #job is to reinforce the #sense of #fun associated with this #brand and #tattoo the #logo for their flavor onto #guests at events. As a result of this #campaign, #Flavors by #CAO rose to become the leading #brand of flavored cigar in the #United #States.

We updated the #furniture, #fixtures, #space #planning and #displays of a #chain of #paint-your-own #ceramics #stores in the #Bay #Area. They wanted to look more #modern #without sacrificing #comfort, #intimacy or #practically.

Our #trade #show #booth for #Flavours by #CAO coordinated with the #booth we produced for their #premium #brands. We emphasized the #Flavourettes-#costumed #colorful "#ambassadors" of each #flavor in the #line.
