moving stories: the plaza district
When the Plaza District contacted midwestmedia & marketing to film, in just a few short weeks, something that would show how far the Plaza District has come we were honored and a completely aware of the extent of a project like this. We started shooting the very next day. Continue Reading
Here is my list of events for April. If you would like me to include your event, shoot me an email and I will post it as soon as I can!
This spring we’re full of expectations. We have expectations of our items being sold in a store in downtown OKC, a possible feature in a national magazine (we’ll know in May), possibly doing some artsy fartsy craft shows and so much more. Something’s on the move; something is coming. Things are changing and we can feel it in our spirit just above the surface. It’s there, waiting to explode.
Ever feel like life is one big revolving door? It’s spinning so fast that you can’t tell where you want to get off, or how to get off. Sometimes I feel like the little kid—so worried that I’m going to get crushed that I just keep spinning ’round and ’round in the same door, never going anywhere. Design can often feel like this whether working from home (i.e., me) or in a corporate office; sometimes it feels like you’ve been spinning for a while and you begin to wonder, ‘Should I have stepped through the door back there?’ This was the very question I wrestled with when I decided to head home and start Green Couch Design with Meg.

Hi, my name is Cale Lopp and I’m thrilled to be able to share with you a little about who I am, where I’ve been and what I do. When Kyle asked me to write a post, I thought, “Me…you want me?” Well, here I am, so either Kyle was actually serious, or just so nice he couldn’t say no. That aside, I’m guessing you would like to know who this crazy guy from Jones, Oklahoma is; I personally don’t believe that much in credentials but here are mine. I have a degree in Architectural Design from Oklahoma State University (sorry to all those OU fans). It was there on September 15, 2006 at a birthday party that I found the love of my life (a graphic designer) and we’ve dreamed of design together ever since. I worked for TAParchitecture from the time I graduated and was laid off in September due to the economic downturn—that about does it for the ‘who I am’ portion. Simply put, I’m a man with a passion for design that is only more heavily fueled by my desire to take over the world (cue Pinky and The Brain theme song). Continue Reading
I just wanted to write a little blurb to give props to the crew at IgniteOKC! They hosted a fantastic event that is sure to get better with time. Here is my two cents on why you should attend an Ignite event in your town, but first a little history lesson. Ignite began in Seattle in 2006 by Brady Forrest and Bre Pettis. Since then, hundreds of five minute talks have been given across the world. There are thriving Ignite communities in Seattle, Portland, Paris and NYC, to name a few. This world-wide movement has ended up in our backyard and here are a few reasons why you should go: Continue Reading

If you are like me, you probably have quite a few books laying around. I love to read, BUT I usually go for the bubblegum books that require little thought—my personal vice is historical fiction. This year I have resolved to dust off the design books and set to reading. Continue Reading
