10 years in, we finally have our own studio reel. Hopefully it gets you amped to make stuff! Special thanks to Jordan Scott ( https://t.co/KE9SMtu6F8) for his amazing animation work on this & also to @UprightTRex for their funky music, which I absolutely love. SOUND ON!

The most city thing is when you see a fucked up car driving wildly you mumble to yourself, “well I guess I can see why your car is so fucked up then.”

Me in 2010: Ew I can't believe anyone would build a brand around a rounded typeface. Me in 2025: What if the entire thing was rounded so much that it was illegible?

Just bought this book off of vibes and a quick little description tag. Is it good? Should I be hyped?

I have such a weird view into how folks use these public files. Some random ones: Played Tic-Tac-Toe Promoted their own portfolio in a comment Helped each other find fonts Announce new fonts they worked on Pointed out my typos Being genuinely kind & supportive to each other

So @figma I know this is a weird request because I'm one of the very few people that share figma files with the whole world but I'd love a "deny all" button in this list. At one point over 300 people were requesting edit access and my finger is tired of hitting deny haha.

This is the time of year that I start getting reflective & I was feeling very proud that over the past 3 years we've branded 3 unicorn co's. For a little studio that started in my 1 bedroom apt, we've come an incredibly long way. @SuperhumanHQ + @GammaApp + @perplexity_ai

I've been noticing a new trend where people will say really mean things when I say we can't work on their project. What the heck is going on out there? One dude said he was going to make sure that we're sorry for passing on his project. And I was just like...o.k.
