And that story starts, weirdly enough, with procrastination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Les Procrastinateurs Anonymes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A while back, I started an Instagram account called <em>Les Procrastinateurs Anonymes<\/em> \u2014 Procrastinators Anonymous. The name was very much on purpose. I&#8217;d always been someone who put off creating. Not because I didn&#8217;t want to, but because sharing felt uncomfortable, almost wrong. I&#8217;m someone who obsesses over details, who can&#8217;t let something go until it feels right. Posting casually, regularly, publicly? That was not exactly my comfort zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The account was meant to be a release valve. A place where I&#8217;d finally just\u2026 post. My own designs, and eventually other artists too \u2014 I had this vision of it becoming a little community, a platform for different creative voices. (Spoiler: I never got around to inviting anyone else. Typical.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The &#8220;one poster a day&#8221; experiment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a while, I tried the disciplined approach. One poster a day, like a lot of designers do to build a practice and stay consistent. And I get why it works for some people \u2014 the constraint forces you to create, to ship, to let go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It didn&#8217;t work for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;d sit down to make something &#8220;quick&#8221; and end up spending hours on it. Tweaking the composition, reworking the typography, questioning every color choice. The rhythm of daily posting clashed completely with how I actually work. Quality matters too much to me to rush it \u2014 and I&#8217;m just not built for &#8220;good enough.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding my own pace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I stopped trying to force a pace that wasn&#8217;t mine. I kept creating, but on my own terms \u2014 spending as long as a piece needed, not as long as a deadline allowed. The posters got better. They started to feel like something I was actually proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Les Procrastinateurs Anonymes<\/em> is still alive \u2014 it&#8217;s where I share more freely, less polished, more process. Studio Ninette is where the finished things live. Two sides of the same creative brain, basically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The bigger picture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Studio Ninette didn&#8217;t come out of nowhere. It&#8217;s the natural extension of what I do professionally \u2014 graphic design, art direction, front-end development. Years of working on other people&#8217;s projects, other people&#8217;s briefs, other people&#8217;s visions. The studio and the shop became the place where all of that experience gets to exist on its own terms, without a client brief in sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shop is a logical extension of that. A way to put finished, considered work into the world \u2014 work that reflects the same standards I bring to everything else I do, just with full creative freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why this matters for the prints<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you buy a print from the shop, you&#8217;re getting something that went through a lot of hours and a lot of second-guessing before it made the cut. Not every design I make ends up here \u2014 most don&#8217;t. The ones that do are the ones I kept coming back to, the ones that still felt right after the tenth look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Limited editions aren&#8217;t a marketing trick. They reflect how I actually work: slowly, carefully, and without producing more than I believe in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u2014 Studio Ninette, designed in Belgium.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every print in the Studio Ninette shop has a bit of a backstory.
