Turquoise Sandwich Color Studio owes its unique name to a journey that spans from the heart of creativity at Nike to the vivid palette of Doni's life experiences. In the early days, Doni, a color designer at Nike and a fellow apparel designer shared dreams of establishing their own color studio. Together, they embarked on a quest to shape their vision, and naturally, a pivotal component of their venture was the name.
During this collaborative brainstorming phase, the other designer held firm to the idea of "vert," the French word for green. It became their working title, accompanying them as they explored countless possibilities. However, as life would have it, both designers eventually departed from Portland, each pursuing new opportunities and different cities. Sadly, "Vert" remained a dream unrealized.
For many years, Doni couldn't shake the lingering presence of "Vert," a name that held no personal resonance. She never harbored a strong affinity for the color green and, interestingly, had never mastered the French language. It was in this contemplative space that a revelation occurred. Doni recognized her lifelong love for an entirely different spectrum of colors—turquoise, yellow, and pink. These vibrant and cheerful hues brought back a deep sense of nostalgia and joy, reminiscent of her teenage years in 1980s Arizona.
Doni's affection for the interplay between turquoise, yellow, and pink, whether used in pairs or all three together, was undeniable. She reveled in the way turquoise always seemed to find itself sandwiched between pink and yellow, creating a harmonious and visually striking contrast.
The epiphany struck Doni during one ordinary commute home from work. As she was driving, the name "Turquoise Sandwich" materialized in her mind, as clear as the desert sky. At that very moment, her long-dormant dream of establishing a color design studio was reignited. And thus, Turquoise Sandwich Color Studio was born—a name that reflects not just a vivid color palette but a lifetime of passion and creativity.
