A NEW BRANDING EXPERIENCE LAUNCHING SOON
Lately, I’ve been helping other creatives build their brands — sharpening their offers, their voice, their systems. And it’s clear: momentum comes easier when it’s not your own. You’re bolder. More objective. Less tangled in fear or perfectionism.But when it’s your name on the line? It feels personal. Precious. Sometimes paralyzing.
So now, I’m doing the hard thing — treating my own brand like a client.And if you’re a creative founder struggling to move forward, I see you.
I’m building something for us.
It’s called Metamorphosis. Coming soon. LEARN MORE»
A BAGUETTE HOLDER MADE FOR POP-POP
Made by Gustaf Westman. For his granddad. In Paris.
We’re not kidding—this sculptural carb cradle lives at 3 Rue Cunin-Gridaine, and it’s open Saturdays & Sundays, 11–19. Part product design, part personal love letter to flaky bread.
MIDJOURNEY V7: MOODBOARDS THAT MOVE
The update we’ve been waiting for: images now breathe, zoom, and subtly shift.
Midjourney’s new video feature lets you generate short, gliding animations from static prompts. Think: slow pans, eerie stillness, evolving detail.
Perfect for product moodboards, film concepts, or just making your desktop background come alive.
Prompt idea:

HARD COURT BY @MRKA
An entire tennis court drawn by hand — using the wrong one.
This delightfully off-kilter project by Lucas Benarroch (aka @mrka) lives at @casaaxis near Valencia.
It’s equal parts absurd, clever, and joyfully useless. In the best way.
Dream Recorder
The new Dream Recorder by Modem is cranking AI-playback of your subconscious—without a phone or app. You wake up, press record, describe your dream, and whoosh—a hazy, ultra‑low‑def reel of your nightworld plays back. It’s offline, open‑source, bedside magic.
Think impressionist dreamcatcher: your morning coffee with a side of cinema.
Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2025
Still the most democratic art show in London.
A wild collision of paint, sculpture, politics, and joy. Curated chaos with surprise stars and secret gems.

Yoshitomo Nara at Southbank
Cute and unsettling, just how we like it.

DERRICK GEE
My friend Sam introduced me to this legend DERRICK GEE. Derrick Gee isn’t a DJ, nor a critic—just a fan. But in a world where algorithms dictate what's hot, Derrick’s ear became the ultimate cult of taste. His POV isn’t about exclusivity or showing off obscure finds; it’s about deep, soulful connection. He listens with his whole body. His selections feel like a late-night conversation with an old friend—unfiltered, unexpected, and emotionally precise. For Derrick, music isn’t content—it’s communion.

From Freelancer to Founder
It’s not just about clients and invoices anymore. It’s about identity. About creative control. About choosing how you want to be known.
The Minchki Manifesto
Every creative I admire has one thing in common: they know themselves deeply. They know what excites them, what drains them, and what they’re here to build. That doesn’t happen by accident. You have to make time for self-discovery. You have to nurture curiosity like a garden—with intention, space, and ritual.
