The color palette evokes movement across six domains toward a cooler, calmer, more coherent world.
Polarities express the implicit tensions, and the synthesis we aim to find between them, in Denizen's unique essence.

I hosted Denizen's founder Jenny Stefanotti at the Metacottage on a beautiful weekend in late summer of 2022.
Over two days, beautiful meals and many cups of puer, we distilled the essence of Denizen.
The project, and the process behind it, remains one of my favorite of my career.
