The Artisans Cup exists to showcase Bonsai as a true art form. The multi-day exhibition took place within the Portland Art Museum, revealing the beauty of the ongoing collaboration between humans and nature that occurs during the process of training a tree. This process, currently experiencing surging growth in North America, is symbolic of the struggle for life in which all living things take part, and highlights the similarities and differences between people and trees. The exhibition finished with an award ceremony at Departure.

We worked with OMFGCO to create a conceptual "pool party" to launch Serra Cannabis. This would have everything a normal pool party would offer, but no water and lots of marijuana. Using the old abandoned River Place Athletic Club with an olympic sized swimming pool and made it much more surreal. We tapped Peter Cho to create a menu of gourmet stoner food & Merit Badge contributed cannabis-friendly drinks.

More than 80 dirt-sport athletes, outdoor adventurers and social media influencers headed to the desert hills of Hualapai, AZ, for Hotel Tacoma, a three-day experience that gave a whole new meaning to the term “hotel,” and brought to life Toyota’s Play Now ad campaign for the 2016 Toyota Tacoma. Toyota called it the “most badass off-road playground/festival/weekend ever.” And with nearly eight million social impressions and more than 1,200 Instagram posts using #HotelTacoma, the results were pretty badass, too.

In addition to the athletes and influencers, two people and their guests won the opportunity to stay at Hotel Tacoma by posting to Instagram using #HotelTacoma #Sweepstakes and #HotelTacoma #Stagecoach, in a sweepstakes that coincided with Stagecoach, the country music festival in Indio, CA.

Ace Hotel & Swim Club hosted their eighth annual Desert Gold — a sun-soaked, transcendent oasis in the midst of Coachella Valley's frantic festival season, honored to have been around all eight years to bring this one together. This year guests joined for meditation sessions and workshops led by the David Lynch Foundation, a pop-up synthesizer lab by Moog, a new mural by Jenny Sharaf, plus poolside cameos by a coterie of party starters: The Do-Over, HOW MANY VIRGINS?, Don't Beg and Burger Records and more.
