BITTA is a journal of fragments, field notes, and slow ideas. A place to think aloud about design, culture, human behaviour, and the shifting patterns that shape us.

Why this journal exists

In a landscape crowded with noise, BITTA exists as the opposite: a quiet, reflective space for ideas that take time. Ideas that live between disciplines, between intuition and expertise, between the human hand and emerging technologies.

These are thoughts that don’t always fit neatly into a pitch deck, a client presentation, or an algorithmic feed.

Here, they can just breathe.

Who is behind this

BITTA is curated by Troy Barbitta. Creative Director, designer, strategist, and founder of Barbitta Studio.

After two decades working across branding, design systems, hospitality, property, and culture, this journal became a way to document the fragments that sit behind the work: the observations, the questions, the patterns, the experiments.

Field Notes

Loose fragments. Fleeting ideas. Things noticed.

Collected pieces from the in-between. A surface. A code experiment. A quote. These are moments that often go unseen but mean something.
