Mutt. It's a strange pedigree & we're proud as hell to call it our own. After all, it's where we all fell in love.
Over the years working at Mutt Industries we had lots of opportunities to explore creatively on behalf of the brand. Whether it was making the company website, planning an experience for Design Week, or just fooling around with scanners and art supplies, the results were always exciting. Led, inspired, and supported by founders Steve Luker, Scott Cromer, and Mike McCommon, the Mutts were encouraged to experiment and explore together which led to growth not only as creatives, but as humans.

Muttindustries.com was a work of passion, an analog response to the digital world.
Creating a brand site for an agency is always challenging. With a brand like Mutt that thrives on the eclectic and original, scrolling rectangles wasn’t an option. Everything was guided by our motto, “Beauty. Truth. Simplicity.” Made by hand, the site was shot, cut, collaged, illustrated, then scanned and assembled. We structured the site as a non-scrolling repopulating single page, using founder Steve Luker’s hand as the menu, which directed and encouraged navigation with playful animations.
The end result was a radically different agency website experience that embodied the brand's aesthetic and told the world the 5 things they needed to know about Mutt.

For Design Week Portland we were hell-bent on staging and hosting a creative catharsis.
DWP is a weeklong celebration of all things design in Portland with educational events, lectures, and open houses throughout the week. In it’s 3rd year, Mutt’s open house explored the tensions and challenges that arise in the pursuit of the agency motto — “Beauty. Truth. Simplicity.” We examined what it means to work toward those principles, the process of getting there, and the toll it can take.

This is one of the greatest lessons you learn at Mutt. It’s how you discover novel expressions and solutions for that next brand challenge, nurture the muse, and cultivate inspiration. What follows are some examples of the fruit borne via playful exploration of tools, materials, symbols, and ideas that found a home in various Mutt brand expressions.
Playfulness is the
cradle of inspiration.
