FIELDNOTES · ISSUE 08 · SEPTEMBER 2026
Notes from the studio.
This month, we are making room. On our desks, in our calendars, and in the things we choose to keep.
A desk with room to think.
We spent a week clearing one corner of the studio. Here is what earned its place back.

One notebook. Many uses.
Sketches, shopping lists and the ideas that arrive on the train. A look inside our everyday notebooks.

From the workbench.
A new paper stock is on the table. We share what we are testing, and what still needs work.

Make it yours
- Lead with one story. Replace each headline, summary and destination together so the email promises what the article delivers.
- Update the issue/date and keep all three stories in the plain-text version too.
All names, products, amounts and dates are examples. Replace the brand, sample copy and every example.com link in both files. Changes in the viewer do not update the separate plain-text file.
Connect {{unsubscribe_url}} to your email provider’s unsubscribe field and replace {{company_address}} with your company’s postal address. These tokens are placeholders; the viewer does not fill them in.
