What a year it's been! What started off a little uncertain, turned into our biggest year yet!
It's felt extra busy around our HQ, but in the best of ways. We already have some big collaborations and lots of new products in the works for 2026!
Thanks for your continued support year after year! 🙌

Here are 5 things I'm currently digging...
1.
This library in Zurich is one of the most beautiful libraries I've seen. Wish I had known about it when I was there last year. Looks like an awesome place to hunker down for the day and get work done. 😍
2.
I've been doing a lot of baking over the holidays and these
Cinnamon Toast Sourdough Cookies were a hit with my family. Super simple and easy to make if you have sourdough discard sitting around.
3.
Andrzej Bargiel just became the first person to ski down Mt. Everest without oxygen. Absolutely wild to watch!

This
voice-powered sticker printer looks so fun! It turns any idea into a physical sticker in a matter of seconds. One of the things I've noticed with my kids is how much they still want physical, analog things. The top two items on their Christmas list this year were a typewriter and a 3D printer and both have been a big hit!

I love that this logo for Jolene was drawn by the studio founder's six-year-old son. In a world of sameness where things can feel almost too polished, Studio Firth did an nice job riffing off of this hand-drawn logo to create a brand that truly stands out. (and now I really want to try Jolene's breads!)

P.S. This photo of my workspace is making the rounds on Twitter. It's always interesting which things get picked up by the algorithm and pop off.
