These books are my constant companions in the studio, guiding my process, refining my techniques, and deepening my understanding of color and human emotion. Because without meaning, without emotion, there is no good design.

I turn to them every day, first thing in the morning and before I close the studio at night. They keep me focused, silencing the inner saboteur that loves to whisper, “Why are you doing this?”

And then, there’s another pile… filled with the works of designers and artists who inspire me endlessly. But that’s a post for another day. What books keep you grounded in your creative process?
