The Satiated Stoner began as a playful idea between my husband and me—both designers—sparked by an improvised meal on a trip to Maui. What started as a joke evolved into a fully realized creative project. We developed, tested, cooked, and photographed 42 original recipes, self-published the cookbook, and launched a small product line that included matches and hand–tie-dyed tea towels. To extend the experience, we followed up with customers through email, sharing additional recipes and content.
