Notes From the Studio

March 30, 20263 min read

A loose collection of things I'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 I keep returning to for color inspiration.

A tool I love right now

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

What I'm 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 I think about the studio.

Written from the Marigold & Mercy studio.

I’ll send the occasional letter when there’s something new to read — no fluff, no frequent emails.
