Read/Design is a personal project that started as a way to keep my curiosity about design alive. Think of it as a digital library built from the books I've collected over the years. The idea is to share, every month in an Instagram post, the insights that stuck with me the most, with the goal of spreading knowledge and encouraging the reading of physical books.
For the first edition, I'm covering Thinking with Type by Ellen Lupton, an amazing guide about the basics of typography. I first read it back in university and it's still one of the books I go back to most. Here is the first post → Link Here is the Read/Design Database → Link
Since sharing your process is the thing now, here's how this came together: I designed the graphics and website myself in the old-fashioned way, but the site itself was built in Claude Code with a Notion database behind it. Huge respect for developers. This build cost me two migraines and way too many tokens.
