Communal Garden is a collaborative notebook, and our first In-House Idea.
As you go through life, outside influences enter and help shape you. Rooted in that sentiment, we intertwined blank pages with work from some of our closest friends and family, making it a collaborative notebook.
Its design, function and contents are crafted to inspire thought, evoke emotion and encourage self-expression. The notebook is not complete until you fill in the blanks. Welcome to the community.

an AD90 idea: 001
We are ambitious about manifesting and producing original ideas across a wide range of disciplines to stimulate creative thinking and its potential. With each initiative, we explore various approaches, styles, and techniques, continually evolving the ideas and refining their intentions each time.
The purpose is for you to engage with the outputs, learn from them, teach us, but most importantly, we hope they serve as a source of inspiration as you embark on your own endeavors. The mantra: push far, push further, and even further after that.
Communal Garden
A Collaborative Notebook, Vol. One
As you go through life there are often moments when an outside influence enters and helps shape you. This intervention will either encourage you to go a different direction, or propel you further down the path you are currently on. Rooted in sentiment, we decided to approach this notebook differently by intertwining blank pages with work from some of our closest friends and family: thus making it a collaborative notebook.
The notebook’s design, functionality, and contents are all crafted to inspire thought, evoke emotions, and encourage self-expression. We love the idea that the notebook is not complete until you fill in the blanks. Welcome to the community.

Seed Paper Dust Jacket
For plants to grow, ideas to flourish, and visions to manifest, seeds need to be planted. We wanted to give you the tools to make it happen, so we wrapped the book in a seed paper dust-jacket that you can plant. Giving you a physical representation of your personal growth.

Collaborative Pages
The pre-printed, collaborative, pages that are spread throughout at random are a representation of those moments in life that shape us. Our hope is that you become inspired when viewing these pieces, and that new ideas spark, or that you find a new direction and get closer to completing works in progress.
Note: The images shown are partial to preserve the essence of Communal Garden. Our aim is for your initial interaction with the collaborative pages to be a unique experience. Therefore, we refrain from revealing them in their entirety.
“It is through others that we become ourselves.”
