Act first, think later.

A lot of people think you can't go river rafting in February. A lot of people think the Jordan River has too many dead bodies in it to make it a recreational destination. A lot of people think it unwise to plow into the side of a Class III rapid in a small boat with 36 degree water temperatures. A lot of people think too much.

Exclusive Behind the Scenes Video Released!

People often wonder about the life of a Design Director. What is it like to work in a creative field day-in and day-out? Setting your own hours1, creating, drawing, designing, day dreaming2, listening to elitist music3 while sipping imported waters from exotic4 places! What magical process takes place behind the scenes to create such incredible work, the likes of which only JDHgroup can produce?

Well, we can't give away all of our secrets, but we can tell you it involves sitting on your can and staring into a little box on your desk for 10 hours a day. every. single. day. for the rest of your miserable stinking life. err, my life at least, but I wouldn't trade it for anything most things.

This video shows the glamour, the fame, and the excitement5 I experienced firsthand on Wednesday February 24th, 7:21am to 5:23pm.


1 You know, hours like 7am-5pm five days a week. Taking it easy.
2 This does not actually take place.
3 Elitist music like Pilot This Plane Down.
4 Ogden Municipal Water straight from Pineview Reservoir!
5 Adjectives used for dramatization only.

Letter Press Business Cards

Back in October, Studio On Fire posted to their blog A Study in Black Letterpress Business Cards, which featured our business card amongst a few others. I suspect I've received many a late-night-inappropriate-calls as a result of my contact info being displayed upon the seedy underbelly of the internets, though I don't know for sure because my voice mail doesn't actually work. If I don't answer, please try again during business hours.

And in case you were wondering, yes, that is a thick card. 200lb thick. You can spackle drywall with these things.
