As people of the craft we look for simplicity so that we can bring our energy to shaping and designing. I still love how simple our decks for Ethic came out. Just a sample slide of one of the internal "ways of working" guides.

Sometimes, you will bet on the wrong things as a designer, but you won’t know it until later. It’s all part of the journey.
Learn when it’s time to move on. Don’t stay too long on the wrong path, as it will take away your passion and drive.

I love that we can give this craft space to our kids. I never had it and it’s more important than ever to be analog. To craft with your hands and your mind.

I decided to see it for myself. Surreal and unreal. These photos taken at PCH and Palisades. Everything and all houses gone. And the Palisades Fire is over 17,000 acres, larger than all of manhattan.

Our sweet spot is clean, functional and meaningful. Good foundational design with solid thinking. Less over-promising and more over-delivering.
And it all starts with an honest partnership where we together find the story, goal and shape the outcome in a clear, crisp and pure kind of way.

I love that people have a strong moral compass. It could have been a winning strategy to have doubled-down on fact checking to build a solid place as Ai is ramping up.

The phrase: ”Hire for character, train for skills” is a nice one but kind of only works for roles that can be trained.
Great designers all have a great eye for design even early on in their career. Great taste can’t be taught.

Design Tip: As you find and share inspiration, save great benchmarks etc do not only share it in Slack but make sure to save it for yourself too. Mostly because when you decide to move on from your current company you will loose all those great finds.

Looking forward to 2025. My company has worked with just a few companies in the past 2-3 years but still getting brands reaching out. Thinking about how scaling and who to connect with around sales and business. Any recs welcome!
