I like the little things.

The afternoon light on a wall. A conversation that goes nowhere and somehow means everything. The colours of a place I've walked past a hundred times, suddenly looking different. I like taking photographs, making things, listening to people's stories. Sometimes I find myself collecting moments without quite knowing what to do with them. I've taken a few unexpected turns to get here. Somewhere along the way, I found design, or perhaps it found me. I think creating is a little like paying attention. To people, to feelings, to all the ordinary things that make a day worth remembering.

And I'm still figuring things out, which, most days, feels like a rather lovely place to be.

Inspired by a poem by Wendy Cope, The Orange is a little space for the ordinary things that make life feel extraordinary.
