Welcome to our new site and the new addition, Buffalo Tread, a blog culture created by OneFastBuffalo.
This is a place for our extended tribe of creative professionals to bring our audience (designers, clients, and in-house marketers) content relevant to the worlds of branding, marketing, design, interactive, and other creative explorations. But more importantly we want to discuss the movements, businesses, and strategic thinking that make the world better, not just more branded. We believe the most authentic ideas are found via long journeys of creative exploration. Our passion lies in discovering ideas and passing them on to other people. We hope to provide marketing and design professionals in all industries with insight and recommendations to help them create real change within their organizations. We hope to learn from them as well. We hope to dismantle the need for advertising as we know it. We hope to help our many freelance and contract creative associates showcase their work. We hope to help designers to more fulfilling lives by exploring creative spirit the OFB way. We hope to inspire young creatives to become Onefast. We hope to have fun. We hope to tread heavily.
The story of where this site was found.
I have to first thank my wife Jenn for this site. When I decided it was time to design a new OFB site she gave me the gift of an entire week of solitude in mountains of New Mexico this spring to get started.
Soooooooo, this site was born in an Airstream trailer in Northern New Mexico, over 6 days and nights, favorite hemp socks, bison brisket, and 2 bags of dark pinon coffee.
I actually never left the camp and never saw another human person. I did meet an interesting local dog, a hawk or two and trout. Honestly, despite the fact that I missed my wife and kids terribly it was the most enjoyable work time of my life. I really didn't sleep much and worked about 16 hours each day. But I am not complaining. I had satellite internet, plenty of Son Volt, and about 20 lbs of Buffalo brisket. Hardships included ruining my favorite old pair of Texas Brand vintage boots in a mud hole and running out of mesquite seasoning for the buffalo.
The next week my family joined me. We stayed in a great adobe house near Taos where I continued to flush out the design at night. During the day we hit Taos Ski mountain for the first day of snowboarding ever allowed there, did some hiking, took some landscape photos, taught my oldest son to ski, shopped our favorite vintage boot shop, bought new guitars at Taos Pawn, at 3 times at
Orlando's, had a family guitar jam, and ate many smores.
Other Thanks.
Thanks to Caroline, our Interactive Design Director, who helped me flush out the detailed interior pages. Thanks to Christine for her hard work to get this to development. And huge thanks to LEO, our development director whose team built one the most complex site I could have thrown at them.
Where did the old OFB site go?
