WRWD Concept: Write, Read, Walk, and Draw Daily
WRWD daily creative habits started as a personal framework, not a manifesto. Write, read, walk, draw — four disciplines we’ve tested across two decades and 128 projects. The WRWD daily creative habits concept holds because it’s structural, not motivational — it doesn’t ask you to feel inspired, just to show up.
The WRWD Concept: Write, Read, Walk, and Draw Daily—is as simple as possible a way to get you throughout the week.
In an era of digital distractions and our demanding lifestyles, I establish habits that help me get through the week:
Write – I am learning to write, and I do it daily. Sometimes, it is one word; sometimes, I manage a whole essay.
Read – I am not much of a reader, but I try to find a few articles a day.
Walk – I tend to walk every day, and it is good for my well-being.
Draw – I sketch everything as part of my work process.

Slovenia the fun facts
Slovenia fun facts are rarely what they seem. The bear counts and flute discoveries are real enough — but the stories built around them, the way a nation curates its own mythology, that's where the design work begins. We've been pulling apart Slovenian cultural identity since 2004, and the gap between documented fact and inherited fiction is where the most interesting visual problems live.
Every Comment Can Be Positive – How to Give Constructive Feedback to Designers
Constructive feedback for designers is one of the most underestimated skills in any creative collaboration. Get it wrong and you stall the work; get it right and the next version is better than anything you would have briefed. We've been on the receiving end of both kinds — and after 81 logos and 128 projects, we've learned to tell the difference.
You Can’t Win Them All
Design client taste mismatch isn't a failure of process — it's a structural tension baked into every brief. We've sat across the table from enough decision-makers to know that good work and approved work are not the same thing. Understanding where that gap lives, and why, is what separates studios that grow from ones that simply comply.
Remember when you learned to spot a stock photo?
You could see it from a mile away. The same thing is happening now. We are growing up developing an even sharper instinct for what feels generated, repeated, predictable, and empty.
Team 2 team
Team to team design is how we've always worked — not because it sounds progressive, but because the other way produces worse outcomes. When your strategist sits across from ours, decisions happen in minutes instead of weeks. That direct team to team design dynamic is what most studios promise and few actually practice.
12 Proverbs
Design wisdom proverbs don't come from books. They come from the gap between what a client asked for and what they actually needed — a gap we've been navigating since 2004. These twelve distillations aren't motivational. They're diagnostic, drawn from real projects where design wisdom proverbs were the only honest way to say what went wrong, or right.
What is the one positive impact the brand wants to have
Brand positive impact is the question we ask before anything else — before colour, before form, before the first mark on paper. Not what the brand sells, but what shift it causes in the people who encounter it. That single answer, when we find it, becomes the gravitational centre everything else orbits.
Do What You Don’t Know
Do what you don't know — this is the only instruction we've ever given ourselves that consistently produced something worth keeping. Doing what you know is maintenance; it sharpens the tool but never changes the hand that holds it. We've built 25 years of work, 128 projects, and every award worth mentioning by leaning into the thing we hadn't yet figured out how to do.
