SKAGGS Blog - Office Life

This week SKAGGS played host to some of Syracuse University’s most talented young artists and designers.

The students came by to soak up a little of our studio atmosphere and to hear about how a typical design project rolls out. With Sam’s unparalleled expertise and Jonina’s teaching experience, we were happy to oblige! Best of all, we were delighted to receive leave-behind pieces from each student which…

A fresh look for SKAGGS H.Q.

Brrr, a change in the weather! Time for a brand new restyle for SKAGGS Headquarters.

As the oldest commercial area of Manhattan, a lot of history goes into our bastion of design knowledge in TriBeCa. SKAGGS H.Q. is the only two-story building in the neighborhood, holding out against the giant AT&T Building skyscraper and surrounded by classic TriBeCa apartment buildings. Ours is a highly unusual style of…

If, like us, you’re addicted to Hell’s Kitchen, Iron Chef, Top Chef, and you watch the Food Network religiously (we understand), then we’ve got a treat in store: a grilled chicken recipe by SKAGGS’ very own Joe Guzman. We’ve had so many requests for this during cookout season that we decided it deserves its very own one-off feature. Enjoy!

Serves a…

Okay, confession time! We’re proud of our workplace, and we’re not shy about showing off. The SKAGGS New York H.Q. has joined the venerable ranks of the world’s grooviest agencies on This Ain’t No Disco, a collection of the world’s smartest, brightest and sexiest agency interiors. From Brazil to London, Disco provides a glimpse into an amazingly diverse array of environments on the creative cutting edge.

We’re eager to…

To celebrate springtime (and a certain someone’s birthday) the SKAGGS HQ in New York was host to an evening of celebrating, socializing and… painting!

That’s right: among all the gifts, dancing and champagne (oh, the champagne…) we couldn’t help but get creative with the windows again, and this time it was a collaboration. Check out photos of the evening and the new look for the building!

For my 21st birthday gift my mum asked me what I wanted and the first thing I said was a trip to New Yawk City! I’m not quite sure why, but 2 weeks later I was on my way. Being the eager beaver that I was…I took my portfolio and researched companies whose work I liked and the rest (including Jonina asking what I was selling, when I called to…

The idea for this came randomly… from me being tired and hungry and dreaming of this BBQ Chicken I made once. So instead of using egg or buttermilk or something to get the flour to stick to the Chicken… I thought, why not use a thick marinade? So that’s what I did. (It’s spicy so watch out!!)

For Marinade:
1/4 cup canned Chipotle Chiles in Adobo Sauce
about 3 tablespoons…

Its starting (finally) to feel like winter here in NY, so I thought I’d give everyone the one thing that warms me up on a cold day. Here goes:

1 Wooden spoon
1 Large sauce-pot

1.5 pounds Chuck Steak, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1.5 pounds Pork Shoulder, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
2 links Chorizo sausage, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt
pepper

2 large yellow onions, diced
6 cloves…
