In 2021, the NCAA approved an interim name, image and likeness (NIL) policy. This new policy allows all NCAA student-athletes to be compensated for their NIL and allowed student athletes to hold sponsorship deals under their own name.
As avid alumni of the University of Texas, we couldn’t help but notice that Bijan Robinson, the star of the Longhorns football team, had strikingly similar name to a mustard. We thought it was a golden opportunity to launch his own brand. Well, a mustard-yellow opportunity.
Together with Bijan, we launched the Bijan Mustardson brand after months of working with local mustard makers, taste testing dozens of different mixtures and flavors. And it was an instant fan favorite, propelling Bijan’s brand and image to the forefront of college sports.

The people of Austin, Texas are no strangers to rapid growth. But that growth has come at a cost. For decades now, Austin has been losing
precious cultural heritage and local businesses to profit-hungry developers.
We worked with the youth nonprofit organization E4 Youth to create Lostin, an art installation with the intent to bring some of that culture back and preserve it for generations to come. Located in downtown Austin during the week of SXSW, this modified vending machine contains collectible relics from Austin’s past – reimagined products based on lost minority-owned Austin businesses and institutions left behind by time.
All proceeds from Lostin went towards the E4 Youth. Which meant that each item that was purchased from these metal shelves not only kept Austin’s storied past alive, but also helped to fund programs for some of Austin’s diverse youth.

Fruit Smash is a new competitor in the ever-saturated hard seltzer market. They needed to somehow compete with more established brands while maintaining their own charming image.
So we positioned Fruit Smash as a seltzer that wasn’t made to sip. For once, drinking a seltzer wasn’t about being cool. It was about bringing our own style of unexpected and bizzare fun to turn any mundane occasion, from drab days at the office to boring kickbacks, into a party.

To launch Lone Star’s new seltzer line, we wanted to create something that would make Texas just as refreshing and enjoyable. So we created the world’s first mosquito-zapping neon bar sign, providing drinkers a similar, refreshing relief from a Texan’s worst enemy.
