A roundup of what’s resonating in work, play, and inspiration—curated by Najah.

Every now and then, I like to pull together a few things that have been living rent-free in my mind. From campaigns I’m crushing on to culture shifts, podcasts, and small design obsessions—this is what’s in my frame right now.

Campaign Crush: Toronto Tempo

I’m genuinely in awe of how spot-on the Toronto Tempo marketing rollout is. It feels authentically strategic. It’s building real momentum for the 2026 in a way that feels community-rooted and culturally aligned. Energy, vision, and most of all—results. 🤏🏾🤏🏾🤏🏾 About to grab some of that merch too!

Recently Binged: You – Season 5

Don’t ask me why I keep coming back to this show. I guess I like my entertainment with a side of anxiety? The trust issues are alive and well. Joe Goldberg remains unhinged, and apparently so am I for tuning in—again.

In My Headphones: No NDA Podcast feat. BookofCinz

This episode hit. BookofCinz always brings intentional, joyful energy and insight, one of my favourite content creators. Cindy shared a song with a lyric that I have now stored in my memory, it goes:

“It seems as though the slower I go, the faster I arrive.”

The song? “Slower I Go” by Chelsea Plank & SEU Worship.

Art on My Mind: Lego as Fine Art

Somehow my algorithm figured out I needed daily doses of Lego sculptures—towering, intricate, and ridiculously creative. I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole and I’m not even mad. Brick by brick brilliance.

Saying Goodbye: To My Beloved Frames

My trusty glasses have officially retired. They served looks and practicality, but it’s time for a fresh start. Next up? A round pair (I’ve always wanted a round pair). Even if I end up looking like Arthur, I’ll wear them proudly. Reveal soon.

Summer Love: Working Outside

Give me a patio, a decent breeze, and a good hotspot connection and I’m in my happy place. Designing, writing, ideating—all just hits different with sunshine and a bev. Plus travelling to beautiful landscapes in province and just a a short drive away. More of that please.

That’s what’s been filling the inspiration tank lately. Stay tuned for more obsessions, insights, and things that make my creative world go round.
