Informing Safely and Intentionally
Over the past several weeks, many businesses have been able to turn their closed signs to open; DLH Clothing being one of them.

Designed to Help
Designers are problem solvers by nature. We can help simplify a message, visually communicate a feeling, or inspire an action. While we can’t, however, solve the number of larger, more devastating problems we’re facing right now, we’d like to at least help in some way. That’s why we created the Šek Design Grant.

Our Space
If you find yourself traveling along Superior Street in Duluth, look above the Electric Fetus and you’ll see our logo on the windows of the upper level.
