Champions of Craft: Lab Partners

“While working on a project, and especially in the early stages, we tend to share numerous bits of scrap and visual inspiration,” Labieniec says. “It is through this process of sharing and collecting that we develop a common visual vernacular that we think would be right for a project or simply fun to explore. Then we dive in and in actuality we find a lot of inspiration just through doing and making. Quite often we will start in one place and then end up somewhere that we didn’t quite expect.”

Labieniec continues, “That is one of the things that keeps illustration and design inspiring to us. Those little serendipitous moments. And having both of us working on a project just doubles those chances for inspiration.”
