FARM BEHIND THE FOOD + AMY MIKLER

January 22, 2025

Photographer Amy Mikler was kayaking in the bay near her clan’s vacation spot, when she met some local oyster farmers. Their hard work and connection to the water sparked something deeper in Amy's creative mind. That chance encounter brought to life an idea Amy had been nurturing for some time: a project that celebrates The Farm Behind The Food.

From capturing the grit and dedication of oyster farmers to the vibrant greens glowing at sunrise at Bautista Farms, Amy’s farming field trips have been an adventure filled with beauty, discovery, and storytelling.


Stay tuned for more of this inspiring passion project, where Amy’s extraordinary talent for storytelling meets her deep appreciation for the land and those who cultivate it.

✨ Why Custom Illustration Matter ✨ Why icons deserve a second look! Icons are often treated like a checkbox - something to grab from a stock library or pull from an existing UI kit. But when they’re built intentionally, they become one of the most quietly powerful tools in your creative arsenal. Custom icons do more than reinforce a brand. They clarify communication. They guide users. They bring visual consistency to even the most complex projects - across digital, print, packaging, environments, and campaigns. Illustrator James Nelson approaches icon work with that kind of purpose. His sets are clean, strategic, and built to flex—whether they’re solving for user experience, packaging hierarchies, internal comms, or large-scale marketing systems.
