The InVision team was slated to launch its game changing product design software: InVision Studio on January 1, 2018. After sending out a beautiful montage promo, with fast paced music and matte black space suits, potential customers were primed to receive the product. …
I’m working hard to make listening to human-narrated audio news as easy as pressing a button. Usually, this means purchasing an expensive $39 subscription to a literary magazine and using an old app that doesn’t really prioritize the news listening experience. …
In 2017, Tesla launched the mid-priced Model 3 with huge success. Some believe that the electric car company will take steps toward reinventing the automobile away from its analog past to a more computerized hardware and software platform. The pressing question is:
How will Tesla design the user interface of…
In 2015, Spotify made the bold move to allow podcasts on its music platform. At that time, podcasts weren’t really a big deal, but now they’re a huge deal, and cannot be ignored. The #1 spot for the best podcast app has recently opened up because of Apple Music’s recent…
I love news. For years I’ve been searching for an audio news app that combined great content, crisp narration, and a simple + beautiful user experience. Good apps such as Umano came and went, but nothing really fit my vision of a central source for daily audio news. In addition…
Time is like a river,
a never-ending course;
it flows beneath the mossy stones,
and ends back at the Source.
Rock and pebble,
sand and stone,
seas beneath the dead.
The river runs red notes of blood;
the body Water’s shed.
Time ends when it begins;
the climax of two shows.
First the dying phoenix,
the second of a rose.
Skip the rock across the pool,
see it never sink.
It passes beyond the river of death
onto the shore of ink.
Writ in stone
a message of old
of Seed forever sewn.
The dead will rise,
The moon will glow,
For Time will never cease its flow.
“Thou Wall, O Wall, O sweet and lovely Wall,
Show me thy chink to blink through with mine eyne!”
-A Midsummer Night’s Dream
The Moon shone through
a tiny chink,
In Love’s forbearing Wall.
And motioned to
a Shepherd boy,
To come and peer thru all.
So look within
the tiny Space,
His eyes beheld a Light.
It was the Moon’s full
brimming gleam,
Of Truth and Mercy’s rite.
A kiss he felt,
Divine and true,
Of Incarnation’s face.
As sleep betook
his drooping lids,
He fell from Adam’s race.
And to a depth
he Humbly went,
A Seed into the earth.
To close his lids,
and wake to sleep
At-oned in a Rebirth.
And sleep did he,
beneath Love’s wall,
Dreaming away night’s jest.
a true dream
this time,
of saints and kings,
and of his final,
Lasting. Rest.

In this post I want to examine how architecture, as a design philosophy, can make us better creators.
[Architecture] summons into appearance ways of thinking about the world; [it’s] images of thought [are] not representation…
