a book that fundamentally opened up and shaped the way I think about physical environments. I read it for the first time many years ago as an aspiring architect; even though I didn’t enter that career path, the multidisciplinary ideas in this book helped create a way for me to understand how disparate concepts can interact, and how the smallest details can have outsized impact on large scale systems (and vice versa!).
Ultimately I think if you’re someone who is curious about the world around you, you’ll love this book. And if you’re not curious about the world around you, this book will give you reasons to be!

An interactive book on designing a home to be functional and meaningful that is a little more accessible and actionable than Home Comforts. I think she does a great job breaking down intuitive concepts into practical explanations!

I read and stared at every page of this book in the first few days I lived in the new little home-behind-my-studio, a very emotionally intense time. I had been a long time fan of the interdisciplinary design studio, Bless — wore their clothes, coveted their objects — without really understanding the scope of what they do. I think this happens with all of us artists who don’t fit cleanly into a category — it’s a lot to expect people to understand every nuance of your intentions. But a book can do it; I really got it. The book set the tone for how I was living and thinking in this new space and this new chapter of my life — which I am thinking might be the whole second half until the end.

I thought I was too old to intern (college degree, experience, good resume, etc) but a friend connected me with a company to interview for a 3month paid internship. worked a part-time job while interning. got hired full-time immediately after the internship. tbh I don't have the biggest ego, but this was one of those 'take a step back & take two steps forward' kind of moments. very grateful and lucky.
hope this encourages you!
