CB Grey x Freedom 250

Created in partnership with Freedom 250, this commemorative design is my love letter to 250 years of forward motion. I designed it to feel like a cross-country road trip in a single frame, an “America in one city” scene packed with meaningful details that reveal themselves every time you tie it a new way.

Look closely and you’ll find symbols of freedom, grit, innovation, and faith woven into the artwork, all intentionally layered to reflect how multifaceted this country is… and how much beauty there is in the discovery. 

A ribbon-inspired border incorporates a line from the Declaration of Independence, framing the celebration with the words that helped set the nation’s founding promise and anchoring the design in both history and hope.


Founders Note

I want to say this gently and thoughtfully…

No matter where you land politically — red, blue, somewhere in between, or completely worn out by it all — we are still Americans. All of us.

And I believe it’s possible to hold pride and gratitude alongside critique and hope for change. Two things can be true at once. We can acknowledge that there’s work to be done while also recognizing that we are incredibly fortunate to live in a country where freedom of expression, creativity, and opportunity exist in ways they don’t for so many others around the world.

This collection isn’t about ignoring the hard things or pretending everything is perfect. It’s about remembering what is beautiful — the shared values, the resilience, the progress, and the responsibility we all share to keep moving forward together.

That’s what Freedom 250 means to me.
