Notes From the Studio

March 30, 20263 min read

A loose collection of things we've been thinking about, working on, or quietly admiring this season.

On the desk this week

Wireframes for a community-focused nonprofit, a research deep-dive on regional architecture, and a stack of small-press art books we keep returning to for color inspiration.

A tool we love right now

Figma's variables feature has quietly changed the way we build design systems. Setting up tokens once and watching them flow through every component is the kind of small joy that adds up.

What we're reading

A worn-in copy of Wendell Berry's essays, and a pre-release proof of a friend's first book on hospitality. Both are slowly making their way into how we think about the studio.

Written by the Marigold & Mercy team.
