Coasters of your favorite cities! Neighborwoods is one of my favorite examples of design entrepreneurship. This passion project was initiated by Aymie Spitzer in 2012 while she was a designer at Hyperakt, an independent social impact design studio based in Brooklyn (and one of my awesome clients).
A great gift for yourself, employees, and other fellow creatives! My new book, Brutally Honest: No-bullshit business strategies to evolve your creative business, gives you the tools you need to whip your creative business into shape.
A great gift for creative doodlers of all ages! Louise Fili’s personal collection of vintage Italian pencil boxes inspired this set of double-sided, two-tone pencils, in a classic 1930s cursive. Produced by Princeton Architectural Press. Gorgeous.
For Puzzle (and National Parks) enthusiasts! This 500 piece puzzle designed and created by the wonderfully talented folks at Brainstorm is a must-have. They also are donating a percentage of sales to the National Park Foundation – gift with a purpose!
