Celebrating Books
Every combination of client and site is unique. We each bring our own sensibilities, knowledge, and experience to that mix leading to careful and thoughtful design solutions that are reflections of you and your place in the world. That plays out at the larger scale of the site, but it also comes through in the details. Like, say, in the bookshelves.

“I have books to read, and much to sit and watch. I try not to let good things go by unnoticed.” ― Wendell Berry, Jayber Crow

Many of our best clients also love books. The books we’ve collected over our lives and the ones we’ve chosen to keep and display, say a lot about us, our history, our hopes, and our values. They are a wonderful thing to celebrate in a design.

There is something about a physical book that goes beyond just the words on the page. Displaying a book represents the desire to read it but also to honor it, leading to beautiful design solutions. By celebrating books in a design we make them more present in our daily lives.
