Hang with me long enough and you’re likely to hear me say, “everything feels the same under glass.” The sameness about reading on our phones, the dullness, the eye-stabbing boringness of it all after a while.
I recently gave a copy of my latest legacy book to someone and he caressed the cover and said, “I love how your books feel.” I know he won’t read it because he’s not a reader, but two things that make my heart swell and make me immediately crush on you is when you 1) caress a book cover and/or 2) open a book and smell the pages, breathing in the ink and dust and paper in a long drag that you release slowly into the air with a satiated face.
A digital world ain’t it. Analog. don’t only touch grass, but touch some paper, run your things across some deckle edges, smell the endurance of it from an old book.

This is such a great interview and behind-the-scenes peek into an area of design that I know very little about. Thank you!
Thanks Jen! That’s the goal with these 🙂
