Sights & Sounds: Emily Nabnian

Apr 15, 2022

Common Discourse is a project designed to help others (and ourselves) think through creativity, focus, and intentional work—from Alex Tan & Alice Otieno.

Every Tuesday we share words from a journal, a few ideas, a quote from somebody else, and links worth sharing. On Fridays we invite a guest to share images from their camera roll and a sound that resonates with them.

Emily Nabnian is a designer, writer and art director currently based online.

I connected with Emily in 2020 during my early days on are.na, and was so fascinated by the research she was sharing, and her ability to make you feel such visceral emotions through her writing and curation.

Some of the projects she’s worked on include: Paloma Wool, The Mind Body & Spirit Collective , VSCO and Nike, to name a few. Currently, she’s working at Poolsuite and building her personal and professional practice on uncuratedspace.

Here’s what she sent us this week!

Sounds—

I was never a Rosalía fan until I heard this song. I also recommend her process interview with Zane Lowe.

Thanks for consuming!
