as we shape what we build and how we build it, i want to share more of our journey
listen to @drewwilson and i breakdown our thinking behind the new @OpacityHQ brand 😎
Jun 11
We shipped a minimum viable brand this week, on purpose.
@drewwilson and @NotoriousUSB talk through the reasoning:
What a full brand system actually costs a company at our stage, and why we put that time into the product instead.

As an engineer, we often talk about the problems with “pre-mature optimization”. It’s no surprise that a similar idea exists on the design side with over-polishing a brand. Stay tuned for the full convo!

Every designer knows the trap of over-polishing the brand before the product is even launched. We chatted about why we did something different this time. Full conversation coming tomorrow.

stoked to start shipping the tdf library! 🕺

We've been quiet. On purpose.
First drop: @soleio — "The Geometry of Luck," his talk from the inaugural Tokyo Design Forum. The start of a library of TDF speakers, each told in the form that does it justice.

NEW from The General Podcast: the "design founder" episode.
@brian_lovin x @wjosephflynn
Before this conversation, Brian and Joey had never actually met, but had surprisingly parallel careers.
Both spent early years at Facebook, both started multiple companies, both found their way into some of the most design-forward product orgs today, and both were nominated to come on the show by legendary design leader, @soleio.
This one's for the designers. Tune in👇🎧
