Making Sense – Volume 1, is a creative collaboration between Faculty Department and Le Labo, telling 12 stories of individuals across California who have fearlessly hand-crafted lives of their own making.

These tender portraits of a diverse group—a musician, a woodworker, a writer, a chef, a ceramist, a landscape artisan, and more—offer intimate studies of living with intention, purpose, and care. Collectively, they are a celebration of the path less traveled and its infinite routes.

Designed by our studio team Studio Faculty.
