Welcome to the Open Letter theme

Hey, I’m Brian Gardner—a designer inspired by simplicity, fueled by good espresso, and refreshed by running. I’m also the author of this website.

Speaking of, what exactly is Open Letter?

Open Letter is two things: a WordPress block theme, but beyond that, an archive of my intimate thoughts, made available for the world to read.

With this website, I wanted to bring these ideas to life—a WordPress theme and a starting point for something deeply personal and enduring.

Open Letter pairs a distinctive layout with timeless simplicity, offering a quiet space for personal expression. But it’s more than just a theme—it’s a canvas for intention, where clarity gives way to the depth of your voice.

Your words take center stage, framed by a design that elevates every line you write, weaving the fabric of a story only you can tell.

So if you’ve got something to say, don’t hesitate—buy it now for just $27.
