Joshua Charles
Owner / Creative Director, sugar & salt
2011 - 2001Atlanta and San Francisco based creative company. Founded to bring the value of process and responsibility back into how we think and act as designers. Our goal is to be thinkers as well as designers. Our ideas marinate and cure, and are probably going to end up better over time than on the first night. The stock market was brought down by greed and by quick, profit now, decisions, and that is what we are here to reverse. If you decide to come to us, you come to us with a promise to strip away the labels, say thank you when it's earned, and invest in the future rather than the now. We won't show you 25 ideas. We might only show you 1 or 2 but those 1 or 2 are backed with a great deal of thought and process prior to presenting.
Our work covers retail, identity, exhibits, packaging, furniture, as well as interiors & exteriors. Just ask us if we can do it. If not, we probably know who can. Sugar & Salt isn't driven by money but more so by successfully growing your product or vision. If it makes sense, we would be happy to consider other forms of payment such as investment back in your company or future product revenues as well, because, at the end of the day, if you do well, we will too.
Current clients:
EJ Gallo Winery, Anaheim Angels, Atlanta Braves, SF Giants, Private French Wine label.
