Sylvie Astrid: Little Letters

Little Letters on Branding & Meaning | A correspondence unfolding at the intersections of design, philosophy, and the inner life. These letters are offered for the ones building something beautiful — within and without.

From Design to Belief: How Brands Earn Trust

Design makes a mark. But trust? That’s earned — through integrity, follow-through, and care. Patagonia and Ritual Coffee Roasters show us how.

You are here. (and there)

Our senses aren’t just receivers — they’re triggers. A scent, a song, a color — they open doors to other versions of ourselves. Design can do that too. It travels from the eye, to the body, to the part of you that remembers. What begins as a scent, a sound, a sunlit memory — it isn’t separate from your work. It is the work.

The Discipline of Space

Good design isn’t about filling space — it’s about knowing what to leave out. White space isn’t waste; it’s breath, grace, clarity. Boundaries, in design and in life, define what we hold and what we let go. Creating space isn’t about emptiness — it’s making room for what matters.
