Illustrations and observations of connection found in third places around Auckland CBD.

Third Place are places where people spend time between home (first place) and work (second place). From Third Place is a publication that explores the third places in Auckland CBD through anthropological observation and illustration. Born from my educational background of both cultural anthropology and design, From Third Place is more than a collection of illustrations; it’s a love letter to Auckland and its diverse tapestry of cultures. It’s a testament to the power of human connection, community, and the places that foster them. In a world that often feels divided and disconnected, these third places serve as reminders of our shared humanity.
