Stahlbush is a real farm, run by a real family, growing real(ly) good food. The ad we created for them tells the story in a way that reflects their down-to-earth style and their commitment to sustainable practices.
When your product is spudtacular, your trade show booth should be too. Don Odiorne, aka, Dr. Potato, at the Idaho Potato Commission asked us to come up with a trade show booth like no other, to promote his new video series, Stunt Tater. See all of Stunt’s episodes at spudtacular.com.

When our client, Teeccino, wanted to take their herbal coffee and make it good-to-go, we helped them with packaging for a new line of “tee-bags” – individual Teeccino packets that are easy to keep in a purse or desk, handy for a convenient, easy single serving anytime.
One of our clients recently decided to explore the possibility of packaging their products in “corn plastic”, otherwise known as Polylactic Acid (PLA). Due to the controversy surrounding PLA our client is still debating if the product will make it to the shelf in the “corn bottle”. We decided some
Aspen Mulling Spices originated in 1970 as a gesture of hospitality at Wax&Wicks, Aspen’s renowned gift shop.

Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 60’s, Tom developed a strong desire to create positive change for people and planet.
He went on to pursue his passion for art and design at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, and worked for design firms in Southern California before moving to Boise, Idaho in the early 80’s. Foerstel Design opened its doors in 1985. Since its inception, the firm has cultivated a bold, happy, forward-looking team focussed on creating distinct and effective work on behalf of their clients.
An integral part of Tom’s philosophy is giving back to the community in which he lives — a company cornerstone that drives Foerstel’s long history of providing pro-bono services to local non-profit humanitarian and arts programs.
One of Tom’s proudest personal achievements is his ability to say Supercalifragilisticexpyalidocious backwards.
