We had the pleasure of assisting along side Angela Carlyle of Angela & Evan Photography for a shoot with Grey Goods, not only highlighting her products, but a great feature on her as a maker. To top it off, we shot in The Woodsman Tavern, in our opinion the most gorgeous restaurant in Portland. When these three clients collaborated, the result was magic. Here is just a taste of that day. Stay tuned to A&E's blog for the full story.
Factory North looking pretty legit thanks to Angela & Evan. Here are just a few of our favorites from the shoot.
We are super excited to share Tyler's interview with Hand Eye Supply. In very good company with friends and mentors.
Design Week Portland Open Houses are next week:
Come visit our studio and have a drink with us! http://www.designweekportland.com/openhouses/factory-north
We worked on this pretty rad brand with some pretty rad folks. Please come out and celebrate their grand re-opening TONIGHT. We promise it will be fun!
A few questions for Factory North
What do you do? How does Portland play into your story?
Factory North is a full-service branding studio in Portland, OR, offering strategy, digital, print, and retail execution as well as comprehensive marketing services. We pride ourselves in our dedication to clear and honest communication both with our clients and through our design work.
We’re fortunate to live in a city where the caliber of creative work is set at such a high standard, we’re constantly inspired by the community of creatives in Portland. When looking for inspiration in the development of our own projects, we look to the history around us — whether it’s old industrial forms, neon signage, ghost signs, victorian etchings, or early 20th century maps. We want everything we make to have longevity and to be impeccably crafted, which is why we love to collaborate with Portland’s community of sign-painters, wood craftsmen, mural artists, and fabricators who all have deeply invested in their practice. Our craft would not be the same without the collaboration within our community.
How do you want to shape design in Portland? (Do you?)
There’s so much good design in Portland that we’re always pushing ourselves to cultivate our skills and look for new sources of inspiration. We’d like to help design to continue to evolve in Portland — we see trends that have become stagnant and it’s so exciting to see fresh styles popping up; we desperately need it as a city.
How does our city help you grow? How does it limit you?
The wealth of support within the Portland design community is a huge asset. We’ll grab a coffee with studios of a similar size to us to swap stories of hardship & triumph in order to help each other be more successful. The down side of this great community is that the saturation of designers drives project budgets lower.
What are you looking forward to at DWP this year?
Tyler is excited about attending the Stefan Sagmeister event. We’re also pretty pumped about the frozen margaritas that will be at our Open House.
Recommend one great thing to see or do or eat in Portland.
Depending on the mood — the Grasshopper at Pepe Le Moko or a Pickleback at The Woodsman Tavern.
If you're at @pickathon this weekend, visit @laurettajeanspie for music fest sustenance and if you're lucky you'll get one of these rad stickers we designed. #factorynorth (at Factory North)

Our interview in German online magazine, Page launched this week. We sound pretty cool in German.
We want to welcome Chandelarrow to our studio collective space. Andy Morris is a very well respected multi-disciplinary designer that most recently lead the creative direction of Stumptown Coffee Roasters. Since meeting Andy over two years ago, we have asked him to participate in both previous years of Art Takeover, as well as 30 Beers for 30 Years. It's an honor to be amongst so much talent every day. The collaboration opportunities are endless.
Check out this video on VSCo of our good friends of OMFGCO. And while you are at it, check out their brand new site launched today. Good people taking over the world with creative communication + style. We applaud them for raising the bar, yet again.
Our July sketchXchange features two local young guns, Tom O’Toole & Thomas Bradley. Both are illustrators, designers, and all around creatives who moonlight in their spare time as Pizza Friday. Their collaborative work is candid, humorous, and often type driven—with a little mischief...
Interview with some good dudes we know.
Tonight. Come say hi and cheers with us! (at Factory North)
