The Inner Studio

A Designer’s Guide to the Resources of the Psyche

“The Inner Studio unveils a place of learning inside each of us where we can learn lessons about ourselves that are inseparable from what we design and build. Filled with anecdotes, examples and exercises, The Inner Studio guides readers into deeper levels of our imagination and decision making, focusing squarely on the experience of the designer during the creative act of design. How do designers convert their subjective and often unconscious experience of the world into design? What are the creative consequences of what we may call, designing from within?” Welcome to The Inner Studio.”

“You need not read more than the first two pages of this book to realize that you are reading a truth that well may save our culture from the rapid depersonalization that our ever-expanding built world has created.”

– Dr. Paula M. Reeves, author of Woman’s Intuition: Unlocking the Wisdom of the Body and Heart Sense

“In his unique and truly original text, Andrew Levitt draws from a deep understanding of psychology and architecture to produce a ‘manual’ for designers to foster these inveterate connections.”
