This has been a long time coming… I’m incredibly excited to welcome Emerson to the crew, where he’ll be leading product design. After reviewing hundreds of candidates, it was clear Emerson was truly exceptional, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have him on board ⚡️⚡️⚡️.
New chapter: I’ve joined as Founding Product Designer at @visualelectric. I’m extremely excited to be back in the startup world, working with amazing design-oriented founders, a force of a team, world-class investors, and incredible new tech with unchartered possibilities. Huge

This was fun to make. Shout out to @kysondana for leading the charge on the design, @liamtlacey for his work on content, and our friends at @framer for bringing it to life.
We just launched our new website! Did you catch it yet?. After months of late-night generations and design sprints, the new Visual Electric site is live ⚡️. Our re-design is bolder, smarter, and fully charged for what’s next.

Before founding @visualelectric , I was bouncing startup ideas off @grosen for the better part of a decade. He was my first filter for startup ideas and ultimately the first check into VE.
A glimpse into how @colin_dunn navigated his own idea maze from classically trained designer to startup founder. When we hatched the idea for First of Kind w/ @soleio, Colin and his story were at the top of his list for inspiring more designers to make the leap to founder.

Flux🤝Visual Electric.
This is the workflow Visual Electric was made for. Flux Kontext is now live in Visual Electric and it's a game changer for creative work. Work like an Art Director and explore your imagination on an infinite canvas.

Had a blast doing this. Thanks to Soleio for being a great moderator and SPC for hosting 🙏.
Some wonderful insights at @southpkcommons from @colin_dunn and @soleio around running a company as a designer founder - “Make sure you love the problem space you’re in - it’s easy to fall in love with the idea of starting a company but that’s not enough.”

Honored to be sitting down with one of the few people who needs no surname.
A new era of AI brings a new breed of designer founder. They must marry emerging technology with entirely new ergonomics. Visual Electric CEO @colin_dunn will speak at @southpkcommons this Wednesday 2PM to show us how they’re doing it. DM me for access.

Trying to be a second-time founder, the first time around. Excited to be working with @liamtlacey on building out a proper marketing function at VE. This launch is just the beginning — many more to come.
We've entered a new era of creative generation. OpenAI's GPT Image model is now live on Visual Electric, and the results speak for themselves. You’ve used these tools before. But not like this. Here’s what makes it different 👇

Interior design is one of the best use cases for new GPT image gen.

The vibe around Figma is changing.
Figma should use the $1B breakup fee from Adobe to buy Cursor. Could be their Instagram.
