Weekend vibes: Fresh air is a must. The quarantine weekend includes grocery shopping, laboring over bread or some meal project, spending time with family and my partner, who brings me coffee in bed and reads me twitter feeds. We’ve been weekend warriors, so once a month at least we are camping, and this summer’s vibe was lakes and rivers. In non-quarantine times, going to the yoga studio and going out for drinks were part of the vibe, now it’s stretch and practice our bartending skills.

Queued up: I enjoy interview podcasts very much when I'm on the road but not when I'm designing.

Weekend Vibes: I've always been an early riser, and weekends are no exception. A morning neighborhood stroll with our dogs is a must.
