From Scraps to Stories

Gather before you plan
We collect raw clippings, sketches and quotes first — the board decides the direction, not the brief.
Pin it, don't polish it
Every idea goes up rough and unfinished — three rounds of critique beat a week of perfecting alone.
Connections beat perfection
String and thread link what words cannot — we draw eighty connections before we write one sentence.
The board tells the story
When enough scraps fill the wall, the narrative surfaces on its own — we just step back and read it.
