Practical tools and lived design experience that help homeowners, designers, and builders make confident decisions.
WELCOME TO SEASONAL LEAF STUDIO
Design Problems Are Rarely About Taste

structuring design decisions
translating design thinking into usable tools
organizing complex processes into clear systems
documenting what actually works in real projects

They inform, and are informed by the tools and frameworks I create.
This explicitly connects stories to systems. →
