Spunk Design Machine is honored to have the Tank Goodness Cookies packaging included in an upcoming book titled Box. Bottle. Bag published by HOW Books and The Dieline. Judging from some of the package design spotlighted on The Dieline blog this book should be pretty cool. No word on a release date but be on the lookout.

Spunk is honored to have Ginny Anderson Architects on board in helping her build a new brand and identity. Her small, female-owned architectural firm specializes in the highly attentive and detailed design of custom homes, cabins and alterations to existing homes since 1983. She brings a personal, custom design solution to each and every client. Every space she builds is an opportunity. Every detail she encounters a challenge. Her passion for detail is exceptional, in part because its the sum of these details that go into a home that are made to create a living space that will grow and thrive for years to come.

Thanks so much, Ginny. We’re very honored.
