Careers, Identity

Who we say we are at work

At work we edit ourselves: our names, our stories, our weekends. The edits are small, and they add up.

Buildings, objects and interiors can carry memory as surely as stories do. The best of them make room for the people who will live with them.

Community, Spaces

People, Relationships

Friendship, family and ambition

Ambition is often described as a solo act. For most of us it is a group project, with family and friends carrying more of the weight than we admit.
