My grandfather kept a record of his life — observations, reflection and quiet musings on the world unfolding around him — which he later bound and shared with us all. It was called Jottings; presented in his typically understated way, these pages captured not only moments in time, but the spirit in which they were lived.

Inspired by this, Arcove’s Jottings gathers reflections along the way — perspectives, reactions, and anecdotes on the people, places, and cultural moments that shape the way we see the world, and in turn, how we design for it.
