The Archive is both a personal + cultural study.
It’s how we preserve the stories that shaped us — as designers, as creatives, as people.
It’s how we honor the past while designing the future.

it’s not just what we’ve made. it’s everything we’ve kept.

it’s a nod to what’s been saved.
what’s worth keeping.
+ what deserves to be seen again.

The Archive is your bridge between past and present. Between nostalgia and now. It’s how you honor eras before you while building something entirely your own.
