If you’ve seen the reading list in on our resource page you know that we love a good mix of creativity, business, and self care books around here. That might seem like a strange combo to some, but luckily these days people are beginning to recognize just how important both things like self care and inspiration are to creating a job you love! With that in mind, we’ve been bookmarking the latest coffee table books for creatives to flip through and decorate with. Most are from 2021 (lots of pre-orders here!) but there are a few slightly older, but new-to-us books on the list as well. The top of my wishlist right now has to be Chinatown Pretty, so so cute, or High on Design, which explores the brands & designers behind the cannabis revolution.
1. Chinatown Pretty: Fashion and Wisdom from Chinatown’s Most Stylish Seniors by Andria Lo & Valerie Luu
2. Graphic Design Play Book: An Exploration of Visual Thinking by Sophie Cure
