Synthetic Infatuation in the Print Cave. Photography by Keith Claunch.

Hi, how are you?

Synthetic Infatuation was founded in 2006 by two cool cats that go by 'shorty' and 'tiny'. Actually people call them Ryan and Lucas. They met in the corn and cranberry fields of central Wisconsin as undergraduates. After spending the first couple of years post graduation working for ant farmers and dudes in suits they decided it was time to set up shop. Now they spend their time working with people that are as passionate about the world as they are.

Synthetic is small, and though we don't claim to be the swiss army knife of commerical creativity, we are resourceful. We do work with a very small select group of individuals we consider our friends and God's gift to design. Which means we can offer our clients an array of creative solutions to meet their needs.

If you are interested in having Synthetic's dirty paws all over you or your company, shoot us a line.
 

we care about social issues

we want to make the world a better place where everyone can live healthful and enjoyable lives.

we are advocates, movers, and shakers; seeking justice and equality for those who have been exploited and disadvantaged.

we care about helping others

we like little people. (not little in size, but little in scale.) we recognize that often the smallest voices are the most important.

we have done work for local bands, non-profits, and helped out friends with personal projects. good design doesn't need to be expensive - but it does need to be intelligent.

we value humility & elegance

it would be an oxymoron declare our humility, but we can say that we value this quality greatly.

we also love simple and elegant solutions to visual problems, and always search for the clearest yet deepest; most rich yet most elegant; modest and simple solution to the design problems we are faced with each day.

we are friends with our planet

we care about trees. and resources. and energy. and we strive to keep that in mind with every project we begin.

it is the nature of print design that consumables are used, but we strive to use processes which are as nice to our non-human friends as possible.

we communicate silently

we work to create design that is cross-cultural and beyond the boundaries of language.

we are intrigued by the amazing sophistication and detail included in simple international airport signage. replacing written language with universally recognized symbols is an amazing accomplishment.

global//universal

we listen, then contemplate

we are observers. sponges. we are amazed by the peculiarities of our world, it's social systems, and culture.

we believe that good conversation only occurs if you listen, and if you are attentive you will learn things that you could never expect.
