What are the implications of the things we create?
Spanning manufacturing, cartography, technology and more, Built To Error investigates the inherit biases embedded in the things we use on a daily basis. Can a typeface or emoji be racist? How is automobile design and medicine hurting women? And how can we do better?
Built To Error is a testament and reminder of creators' responsibility to users, and to society overall. Read a digital version here.

The mind can be a stressful place. Endless emails, notifications, and interruptions jockey for position in the limited real estate of your mind space. Your wellbeing is valuable—treat it as such with awareness and self-care.
Natural Calm is a supplement including magnesium, known for its calming properties. The powder is best added to warm water for a fizzy, soothing beverage.
The type in the logo is customized with appealing rounded edges. The lotus flower and the type reflected in the water embody the serene still of a quiet mind. The packaging paper is soft and smooth for additional sensory comfort. “Calm tips” on packaging tops provide gentle nudges towards greater well-being.
Calm tip: there is always time to breathe.

with license to peel.
