A few months back Drew invited John Provencher to his Brooklyn home and we had a deep dish conversation on the many trappings of design work.

Episode 37 - Jonathan Castro - Margins

May 17 2024 89 mins

You have likely seen Jonathan Castro’s work, even if you don’t know his name. His influence on the contemporary design landscape is magnificent.

The through line is that his work constantly embraces the unknown spaces b
