Big ideas are the fun part. Figuring out how to actually make them happen? That’s where we come in.

A big part of what we do at La Union Studio is taking your vision, work backwards, and map out the steps to get there.

It’s design, but it’s also a whole lot of nurturing and intentional project management along the way.

We’re honored to have La Union Studio featured as one of Seattle’s Rising Design Stars in the September/October issue of Seattle magazine!

Huge gratitude to Lauren Gallow and the Seattle Magazine family for the feature and inclusion, and Mike Hom for capturing us so beautifully.

We had a blast celebrating at the Launch Party last night, and an even bigger congratulations to all of our fellow Rising Design Stars. So much incredible talent in one room shaping Seattle’s design community! 🥂✨

Grateful for this moment, this community, and everyone who continues to root for us. ❤️

There’s more to our studio than desks and drawing sets. 👀

For Part 2 of our La Union Studio tour, we’re heading to the back of the house, from our kitchen and ever-growing material library to the home of our second business Emblem Skincare.

Architecture, materials, skincare, snacks. Somehow, it all works. 😂

Come take a look at how we’ve made one studio work for everything we create.

Designing our dream studio sounded like a dream… until we became our own clients. 😂

It’s been a little over three years since we started designing and building our La Union Studio space in Mount Baker, and nearly every corner has a story behind it.

In Part 1 of our studio tour, we’re taking you inside and sharing some of the design decisions behind how we work, collaborate, and create.

Welcome to La Union Studio. Come take a look around. 👀

Who are you designing for, and how do you want them to feel?

In Part 2 of of Hood Famous Bakeshop & Hood Famous Cafe + Bar , we explore the power of designing with intention, understanding your audience, and making choices that create a sense of connection, meaning, and belonging.

Because the best spaces should resonate with the people they’re designed for.

What makes a space feel like it was designed with you in mind?

A Filipino story rooted in the heart of Seattle’s CID neighborhood.

This isn’t your typical airport restaurant. 👀🔥

Take a look behind the design of Nanny’s BBQ at SEA Airport, where Filipino roots, Northwest inspiration, and a bold statement back bar come together in one of our studio’s most exciting projects yet.

Next time you’re flying through SEA, come hungry and experience Nanny’s for yourself. ✈️

What’s the most memorable airport restaurant or space you’ve experienced while traveling?

Some projects feel like a milestone for your practice, and Nanny’s BBQ is one of those for us.

As a growing small studio, opportunities like this give us a chance to show what we’re capable of, build credibility, and put our work in front of a much larger audience. It’s rewarding to look back at where we started and see projects like this helping open the door to what comes next.

For other small studios, designers, and creatives building something of your own, what was the project or opportunity that made you feel like you were starting to break through? We’d love to hear what that moment looked like for you.
