Designer fetish
Figma The collaborative interface design toolWWW.FIGMA.COMCollaboration tools make product teams life easier, better & faster.
I like Figma’s approach. Think Sketch on the browser, with previews on your device and (apparently) Slack integration. Winner.They have a long way to go until this replaces your most fav design tools, but don’t underestimate the power of it – I can see Adobe and Bohemian Coding implementing something similar soon.
“Designers shouldn’t code. They should study business”MEDIUM.COMI agree with @joshuantaylor (previously design director@evernote), mostly because I see him coding extremely hard. “Designled Companies” is the only way to go. Get ready!

Next stop: Twitter
@BauhausMovementTWITTER.COMBauhaus is like a grandfather to me, the kind you look up to and idolise. @BauhausMovement is a reminder of the solid design principles and provides inspiration from the most kick-ass creative school.

Wove™ BandThis totally took me by surprise. I’m not fan of wearables myself (they don’t bring me any value) but I instantly fell in love with this flexible band.Well, I fell in love with its visual execution. The limited monochrome — 16 shades of grey “less is more” — palette, the Maison Neue font, the beautifully executed “compositions” (how they call apps), the… well, maybe I just like it because its black & white?Will Wove band ever succeed? Maybe for a niche market/audience, e.g. tech-savvy designers into minimalism *ahem*.Nevertheless I’d love to design something for it, wouldn’t you? If so,
apply here.
@manualcreativeTWITTER.COMManual studio in SanFran are the people behind this lovely design-led work. Read all about Wove here.Nice work dudes!
I can’t help but associate it with Ryoji Ikeda’s work though…
