We all know things are bad, but what can we do about it? Introducing a new show from Squarish that examines the world through the lens of system design. In this show I aim not to talk about the problems but to study, design, and share solutions. Available wherever you listen to podcasts.

I started photography this year and just realized I’ve done 38 shoots. Almost one every ten days. Pretty dope. My favorite still has to be this series with my neighbor’s chicken, who I called Rosie.
Hello?
Yes hi.
May I come in?
Thank you.

Today I analyzed some responses I got from Instagram about what makeup people carry with them every day to inform the design of a makeup panel for the Orbyt bag. It was insane how fast this was with ai. I still needed to know what data I wanted and how to analyze it, but damn. So many hours saved.

I love bags. I’ve always enjoyed shopping for new ones, vintage ones, packing them, combing them… it’s an obsession…
Like with all of my hyperfixations, this led me to make something I could love.
I’m really excited to share the bag I made for my every day adventures - the sidequest utility bag
