Asher Caplan

About

B.1992 in Palm Springs,CA, raised in Tucson,AZ. I trained in architecture and urban design. Working wood, cooking, and farming at various points along the way. When I decided to make a website, I realized how much I liked it and made a few more (see below). Now I am living in California, and practicing as an Architect with Anacapa Architecture and designing with the collective I founded, Romance Office. Sometimes I podcast for Infinite Places, and am building an unprofessional workwear brand called Idle Hours Company. All while trying to look at a new economic model of reciprocity with community and planet. Organizing cooperatives and sharing resources and knowledge along the way. Sometimes I DJ, cook, and move my body in various ways.
