During our senior year in design school, in 06/07, we were tasked to develop our personal portfolio identities. I went by Upstairsloft, Kate went on as Offbeatscience (soon-to-be Plaid Ruffles) and Rob… well… Majorminor. The three of us kept in close contact while we went on our merry, different ways. Well, I actually went on to marry Kate. Go figure.
While Rob spit hot fire with a few of the top design studios in located in San Francisco, I held mine down at a medium-sized marketing/ad agency and Kate hustled the freelance game. Living separate lives, but never apart, Rob and I joined forces to kick Majorminor into full-fcuking throttle, alongside Lance and Alex.
Today mark’s Majorminor’s one year anniversary.
Most designers know we can spend hours, days, weeks and months tweaking the most minute details of a design that 99% of the world’s population won’t notice. But with crunching time-wasting hours like that, we learned to be efficient with doing good design, practicing an efficient and smart process—otherwise, how are we gonna to stay paid? What about clients? Oh yeah, the guys with the design problems who pay the bills. There’s them too… and we learned to do business with them. Most of them rock. Truth be told.
Anyways, keeping this short, as I’m still grindin’, the theme to our first year goes something like…
“I’ll sell ice in the winter, I’ll sell fire in hell, I am a hustler baby… I’ll sell water to a whale.”
Keeping design real, fresh and stackin them papers since 2009.
