Justina Blakeney (’01) has an eye for color, shape and big ideas, and believes that good design can change the world. The founder of L.A.-based design studio and lifestyle brand Jungalow has partnered with her mother, developmental psychologist Dr. Ronnie Blakeney, on a new inspirational card deck and book titled Grow: Pathways to Passion, Purpose and Peace. Released earlier this month, the compendium pairs vivid designs with practical activities and wisdom to interact with. For example, if this year brings tightness or constriction, maybe there’s an antidote in more awareness of our breath and deeper engagement with our community. Like a choir sustaining a single, continuous note, sometimes we stagger our breathing — holding ours for a moment while a neighbor draws in deeply. That’s how the collective voice stays strong.
