This is where I design without a client. Here you’ll find the ideas that didn’t go forward, pitches that didn’t make it, sketches, late-night illustrations and work I made simply because I felt like it. It celebrates mistakes and everything that happens outside a designer’s professional life, and it is still design: the need I have to create, inside and outside my work.

“You have to be in a state of play to design.” Paula Scher, in the documentary series Abstract (Netflix).
