the week's best :: 10.31.14

October 31, 2014

Happy Halloween, and Dias de los Muertos eve! I can't get enough of the bright colors and the mix of morbid and optimism.  It's been a busy week, here's some things to check out...

  1. Become completely enthralled with the Serial podcast, brought to you by the same people that do This American Life.
  2.  Find your true scent with the Imaginary Authors.
  3. Troll the wares at Archivo, an Etsy shop featuring well-made new and vintage items from around the globe.
  4. Read Lisa Congdon's thoughts on owning your strengths and stepping up to your creativity.
  5. Dive into Molly M Designs, from jewelry to prints to house wears, there's a multitude of inspiration here.

I'm an architect & writer based in Portland, Oregon. I'm passionate about broadcasting the value of design and established  Y/Wd in 2012 as a design resource with a mission to connect, create & communicate. 

I design spaces both large & small. I'm a list maker, researcher & a card-carrying introvert. I relish problem solving & finding the perfect fit. I'm a fan of process and storytelling - finding connections between seemingly random ideas is my super power!  

Life is full of daily doses of inspiration, I'm happy to share a bit with you. ---- Jen
