Kindred

This holiday season, we’re celebrating and reflecting on a year of wonderful projects and partnerships at BNIM. Everything we do is the result of an amazing collective of people working together each day to create meaningful places where people and nature thrive.

We each bring different ideas, voices, perspectives, and talents to the table, yet at the heart of it all, we’re kindred spirits — finding purpose in good design and caring for the world around us and the communities we serve.

To our clients, collaborators, friends, and family, we wish you a joyful holiday season!

BNIM graphic design intern Olivia Krueger shared her inspiration behind this year’s holiday graphic, kindred: “I imagined each small circle as a spark—distinct, moving on its own path, yet naturally drawn into connection with others. As these forms come together, they create patterns that feel alive, shaped not by any single piece but by the relationships between them. The graphic is meant to express a sense of kinship: the warmth and momentum that emerge when individual voices, talents, and perspectives gather in shared space. It reflects how our collective energy brings shape, meaning, and harmony to the work we create and the impact we make in our community.”
