about field notes.

I’ve spent years working in creative fields: designing spaces, building brands, photographing stories…but the work has never been what interested me most.

It was always the question behind it:

Why does this make us feel something?

That’s what these field notes are.

They’re not tutorials.

They’re not travel guides.

They’re not design advice.

They’re simply a collection of observations, hyper-fixations, questions, thoughts i’ve collected and things I’ve noticed.

Sometimes that will be about architecture.

Sometimes it’s a family dinner.

Sometimes it’s a hotel lobby, a conversation, a photograph, or a quiet moment I don’t want to forget.

At first, they might not seem connected.

But to me, they all are.

Because they’re all asking the same question:

What makes places, people, and moments stay with us?

I don’t know that I’ll ever have the answer.

But I think paying attention is a pretty good place to start.

So these are my field notes.

Thanks for reading them!
