Welcome to another Studio Flavor edition of Creative Juice. This week features design studio [How & How]. For this feature, I asked founder Cat How and Junior Designer Joanna Nicoll to share some creative finds that are inspiring the work at How & How. Enjoy!

PS. If you have any favorite design studios or agencies that you would like to hear from, please let me know here.

Creative Juice is a weekly newsletter published every Monday morning so you can start your week feeling inspired creatively to make cool sh*t and get paid for it. Every Monday I share something gorgeous, a portfolio of the week, three creative finds, one amazing post from social media, and one lesson I learned recently.

If you have an idea of how I can improve Creative Juice, feel free to submit your feedback here.
