Austin, Texas-based URBS Studio is joining us for Julyโs Designer Desktop with a background thatโs cool-tempered but energizing. Through her interdisciplinary design studio, Alyson Beaton explores the urban culture that surrounds her. The details and detritus observed all contribute to the whole of the studioโs work: grids, grit, signs, symbols, rhythm, scribbles, weeds, chaos, order, and more. URBS translates these visual tales of urban renewal and environmental sustainability through spaces, textile collections, childrenโs products, and more. The man-made environments that are part of our everyday lives are constantly evolving in different ways, and most of itโs nothing you or I have control over. But weโll never tire of seeing creativity rise from the most unexpected of places.
For this monthโs Desktop, Beaton shares her Glimmer design inspired by โThe glimmer of light that reflects off the glassy buildings when the sun hits just right.โ The trippy design is paired with the quote, โWhile you are looking, you might as well listen, linger, and think about what you see,โ from Jane Jacobs.
