Light Lab Wallpaper: Our Debut Product Design!

For ages, my work wife Caroline and I have been wanting to do product design. Not a week goes by when we don’t have an idea for something we’d love to see on the market—usually because we want it for ourselves and can’t find it in stores! But we’d always agreed that we only wanted […]

Yosemite Glamping in Airstreams and Canvas Tents

Last summer I went camping with Ivan and my dad—the first real outdoorsy thing I’ve done in years! We had a blast, but the experience definitely reminded me why I don’t make a habit of roughing it. I’m the kind of person who likes daily hot showers and prefers my food without dirt in it, thank […]
