Q: Favorite album to listen to while working:

Drew: Kvelertak, Meir (the gettin sh*t done record) & Beck, Sea Changes (on the wind down train.) Not an album, but I love podcasts & Adventures In Design is one we really enjoy around the shop.

Bingham: Kvelertak, Meir is also one of my favorites so is Dinosaur Jr., You’re living all over Me.

Q:  What’s your favorite type of project to work on: 

Bingham:  Challenging oddball projects like metal signs, bass drum heads and electronics control panels.

Q: What do you enjoy doing outside of work:

Drew: I enjoy playing bass guitar with my band The Ascent of Everest. I like to cook, draw, and spend time with my dog, Wren.

Bingham: I love playing bass guitar with my band Glossary and with Jasmin Kaset.  I like to frame prints for friends, fix and ride bikes, cook and work in the yard.

Q: Best part of your job?

Drew: Having the liberty to try anything we haven’t done before, just because we can. For instance, I was asked to design a t-shirt for Apache Relay & there was no other way to see their idea come to fruition without it being a CMYK process print, which we had never done before. In the end it turned out better than any of us could of hoped and we plan to print more with this process. Check out the design on Drew’s Instagram

Bingham: Making people happy.

Q: Answer to this month’s icebreaker tag: “I’m tired of hiding the fact that I…”

Drew: want to believe the x-files wasn’t just a show

Bingham:  I have nothing to hide.

Q: What would you speak about at CreativeMornings if the opportunity comes your way?

Drew: How to do your own damn color separations so I don’t have to - halfway kidding…

Bingham: I’d talk about all the awesome stuff that my friends do.
