Happy Evercade Alpha release week! I finally got my pair set up. Having these in my basement an arm’s reach away from where I work is a dream come true. The fact that I get to boot them up and see the UI that I designed is still something that I’m trying to wrap my head around.

Had dinner at Alinea in the Gallery this weekend in Chicago. Such a beautifully designed multisensory experience. Particularly love how they collaborate with Ignite Glass Studio to produce unique glassware for individual courses.

Here’s one of those very early menu concepts that I created back in September 2020 when we were starting to talk about updating the Evercade UI in preparation for the VS launch. Hard to believe how much we've grown since then.

You would think that “Ability to visually identify on what side the stuff comes out” would be an absolutely base level requirement in the design of any kind of dispenser. But at least my nightstand is well moisturized.

It's hard to find anything related to Canadian graphic design so I splurged and bought this 1975 Canadian design special issue of IDEA, a Japanese design mag that’s been in publication since 1973. It’s awesome.
