Hi, I’m Tatjana.
I question what everyone takes for granted. It’s usually where the small details hide.
If something takes a second to make, will we care about it for more than a second? Or does it only matter once we slow down?
Scroll slowly
Everything keeps speeding up.
So let’s slow down,
just for a moment.
Mundane moments
Four small things I still cherish. Each one could be rushed or skipped altogether. I choose not to.

Your turn
What small thing did you notice today?
No need to answer. Just take a second to think of it.
Slowing down is not the opposite of getting things done. It is how I notice the small detail everyone else rushed past, and in design, that detail is often the one that matters.
Traced from the spots of a whale shark I swam with. Every whale shark’s spots are unique, a bit like a fingerprint, so this pattern became my mark and my good-luck symbol.
Let’s talk.
