OUR STORY
We specialize in visual storytelling where creatives and the outdoors meet. We are the creative arm of DAYBREAK Magazine.
We cut our teeth on America’s back roads. Our upbringing was not glamorous, but we learned to work hard, play hard, and enjoy the gritty side of the outdoors. From cowboy camping along Lake Michigan to sleeping in the backseat of a small car somewhere between home and the Pacific, our heartbeat is that of a Midwestern kid who wants it all.
Fast forward a few years and we’ve been lucky enough to work with the brands and artists we dreamed of on all those nights along Lake Michigan. Along the way these jobs have taken us from Iceland to Mexico, and from Hawaii to Texas.
Those partnerships include:
Meet Tommy Moore
From painters to photographers to craftsmen, Tommy Moore comes from a long line of creative genes. To this day, the main artwork on his walls are Midwestern landscape paintings by his great grandma, his favorite camera to shoot on is his grandpa’s old TLR, and the books on his shelves (other than DAYBREAK) are his librarian grandma’s cigarette soaked collection of classics.
Paired with a love for the outdoors and Lake Michigan, Tommy’s creative roots prompted him to create DAYBREAK Magazine—a print focused publication celebrating creatives in the outdoors.
Since publishing DAYBREAK’s first book, Tommy has led, designed, and crafted the publishing of 4 additional DAYBREAK volumes, culminating to over 1,000 unique pages, 100+ stories told, and thousands of books printed.
Tommy’s mindset is rooted in gritty simplicity and the fact that hard work pays off. Give him a call and see what we can create together.
