@_sonith @frankjguzzone incredible episode :)

My conversation with @frankjguzzone, the Head of Design at Thrive Capital. Frank’s career journey is an unconventional one. He started as a medical scribe at a hospital center outside of DC before switching careers and moving to New York City to work with some of the largest global brands, and most recently building the design function at Thrive Capital from the ground up. His design philosophy blends scientific rigor with creative intuition. In his mind, the best design feels effortless, but you should sweat every detail to get there. Frank is an incredible designer and an even better person. We discuss his life story, the mechanics of great design, how to name a company, his work at Thrive and much more. Hope you enjoy!

I had a dream: to build a directory of the next generation of designers. Reply with a name and a website. It doesn’t have to be on this app. Let’s see what we can do for them.

I think more people would use coding tools if the companies working on them figured out the best interface for git.

@benjitaylor @elonmusk @nikitabier wow, huge

I’m honoured to be joining 𝕏 to lead design. I believe this is the most important platform in the world, and I can’t think of a more exciting place to help shape the future. I’m looking forward to working closely with @elonmusk, @nikitabier, and the rest of the team. I’m grateful for the opportunity, humbled to be part of it, and can't wait to get started!

@8vc @jgebbia @ndstudio I spy @antimimetics

🇺🇸Chief Design Officer @jgebbia recently joined 8VC PixelEight to share how the @ndstudio is revolutionizing the US Gov web experience for millions of users. We rounded out the evening revisiting retro games as a treasury of design inspiration.

@lukeshiels @interfere_ 🐐

Bad day to be an unfinished landing page. Interfere's new site just dropped! – interfere.com @interfere_

@jakubkrehel @interfere_ @paulfaivret @lukeshiels so good

Over the past few weeks we worked on our new landing page at @interfere_. Designed by @paulfaivret and implemented by me and @lukeshiels.

Eye Tracking + Voice + AI No matter if we touch, point, speak, look or simply think, the interface should handle it. Here, gaze is used as direct input, but mainly as "micro-intent" signal that provides additional context to the system. SwiftUI + ARKit.

@yakuzeg craaazzyyy🐐

@jakeottiger congratulations my guy 🐐

last friday was my final day at Thrive. witnessing the herculean effort that went into closing Thrive X was the way to finish. it resembled everything i love and admire about the place and its people. so what's next... i left to build any and all software for any and all businesses. an ~ai~ consulting company of sorts. i've craved to run a service based business like this where i know my customers and they know me. there's no amorphous corporate blob to deal with. clients deal with me. now, with leverage from AI, they can get world class, personalized service from one guy at a reasonable rate. i hope this model lets me build trust and goodwill between tech and the long tail of industries from Anthropic's survey. (important note: i will also work with startups and tech companies given my mandate is literally any business) i've started with a used machine shop in Louisville, a wayfinding company in Cleveland, and a distributor of rags (literal towels not RAG...) in LA. we'll see how it goes...
