Welcome to Cognitive Ink’s Fieldnotes
A behind-the-scenes look into our practical observations of life, work, society and everything in between. Our fieldnotes are made for curious people who like bite-sized inspiration. It’s going to be full of new ways of looking at things, forgotten facts, curious insights and little pieces of everyday life, annotated. We’re full-time ethnographers, which means that we’re good at picking up the interesting side of things wherever we are. We hope, in time, this will become a varied quilt of ideas.

Eventually, I can shape the outcome to be whatever I need it to be by drawing a dozen lines, a hundred or a thousand. As long as I get over my fear of that first line.’
