The collaboration
Our family has several layers of connection to Schaumburg. My husband Matt worked at Friendship Village, where his father served as CFO, and my father-in-law also worked at Motorola. Like so many Chicagoland families, we also grew up making trips to Woodfield Mall, so Schaumburg holds plenty of shopping memories for us.
I put the mug together with the women at Sweet Reserve, and it was such a fun project. Their Schaumburg location is absolutely beautiful, and the community’s response to the release was wonderful.
The giraffe from the LEGO Store is one of my favorite playful elements, and I also enjoyed drawing the Schaumburg Township District Library. Together, the details capture both the familiar landmarks and the everyday experiences people associate with Schaumburg.
The story behind the mug
Ashley partnered with Sweet Reserve to create a mug rooted in Schaumburg.
Research and community input highlighted shopping, nature, historic architecture, sports, and civic gathering places.
Ashley translated each selected place and symbol into an individual hand-drawn illustration.
The drawings were refined and arranged into a continuous design that rewards a closer look.
The finished mug became a locally available keepsake through Sweet Reserve.
