After 12 incredible years of passion, dedication, and creativity, Knoed made the difficult decision to close its doors. But when one chapter ends, another begins. Kim is now painting full-time and you can follow her work at kimknoll.com and @kimknoll.

After three years as the Director of Brand Design at Omega, managing three brands (Omega, Top Crop, and Quarrelsome Coffee), Kyle launched Eertmoed Studio. You can follow his work at eertmoed.studio and @eertmoed.studio.

In 12 years we helped more than 55 companies invent or reinvent themselves, from a neighborhood sausage shop in Lincoln Square to a fashion brand in Toronto to an ice cream company in New York. Our work found its way into Communication Arts, Print, HOW, Graphis, GD USA, and more than 15 design books, picked up a few Awwwards honorable mentions along the way, and landed us on Newcity's Design 50 and GDUSA's People to Watch. We hosted 48 CreativeMornings events over four years. We spoke at Brand New Conference, hosted AIGA's Mentor Program in our studio, and got to say yes to a lot of people who were building something they cared about. But the thing we're proudest of is simpler than any of that. We got to work with good people and do good work, and a lot of those clients became friends.

We're so grateful for the support and memories that have made the Knoed journey unforgettable. And that we get to leave this chapter still happily married.
