I’m Ash, And I Like My Pretty Things With Dirt Under The Nails
I notice things. Why one room makes you want to stay all night and another one doesn’t. Why the slightly strange flower is better than the perfect one. Why something can be beautiful and still somehow feel wrong.
That curiosity follows me into everything I design. I want to know what you’re drawn to, what you keep coming back to, and what seemingly insignificant detail turns out to be the thing that unlocks the whole idea.
This is where I get to follow some of those thoughts a little further: the flowers, places, people, ideas, and tiny details that keep rattling around in my head.
Seen enough?
