• Designing an internal peer review portal for architect powerhouse NBBJ.
• Approaching launch for the gorgeous Summit Law Group website.
• Creating an immersive online learning experience for a health & wellness startup.
• Defining the core story and brand for the next SlingShop app.
• Wrapping up a final printed piece for the nonprofit College Access Now.
• Finalizing story and aesthetic for the eminent law firm SGB's website.
• Gearing up to help incubator Artifact brand and launch numerous mobile offerings.

We’ve also fired off two RFPs, and just yesterday kicked off a super secret, high-profile gig defining the narrative around a product that, well, we can’t talk about.

So pardon the crickets while we crank; in the mean time enjoy this lunatic blast from the past…

• 93% of current families have donated (last year we got less then 50%) 
• We’ve already raised $250k and are still getting donations (last year $170K)
• We’ve committed to rehiring all Immersion Assistants and hopefully two more for our growing school!

Thanks Karass!!!"

[The following description of this madcap event was penned by Tim Shields, part of a larger piece he's working on that chronicles the rise of Seattle's "creative class."]

The event was BakeFeast 3D, the third such gathering created and hosted by Karass Creative, a creative agency that helps brands, arts organizations, and nonprofits tell better stories. When the [house] band Haute f’Aurts took stage, “Bob” stepped behind an L-shaped stack of organs and keyboards, nodded at his rhythmic coconspirator “Jeff” on percussion, and spread his fingers across the Hammond B3. Like a puppet master he guided the peaking crowd on a roller coaster of up, down, and off-beat tempos, holding down the bass with one hand while laying melodies over the top with his other. Light particles spun and ricocheted off a disco ball while syncopated media projected on [Goodwill] art frames displayed real-time images of partygoers taken by a wandering GoPro camera. The crowd rode the wave of jams that ranged from suspended ethereal dazes to dirty, muddy grooves shaped by mind-melting synth.

A wave. An awesome wave.

The confluence of creative energies that happens in underground scenes throughout Seattle such as the one at Karass Creative creates currents and tides that ripple and slosh about the city, casting out molecules of creative ideas that come together to form various compounds in music, film, restaurants, start-ups, and every mode of human expression.
