Calendars are so boring and corporate and feel totally unworthy to be actual representations of our daily lives. Our design language for @daybridge.com V1 will change that. This is mobile agenda view.

I knew @monzo.com would be big one day so I travelled all the way down to London to visit them 10 years ago to pick up the 28th Monzo card! What an awesome ride it’s been for the company!

If you ever feel dumb just remember that in the very early days of Monzo I once DDOS'd myself by pointing the entire Monzo platform at my phone and telling it to send push notifications as fast as it could. I had to reset my phone to factory settings. 😭
