Create. Curate. Iterate. // Thinkable Desktop Studio A modular tangible thinking space for creative work. Work on ideas without distraction, stay focused and in creative flow. // How it works To start, throw every productivity rule out the window - it destroys the creative process. Creativity and productivity exist on a spectrum and when you do one, it costs you the other. Welcome to the messy middle. Thinkable is a place where you can visualize your thoughts and ideas and then keep them in sight, top of mind, and in reach. Where you can effortlessly iterate, synthesize and collaborate with yourself, while expanding your mind, creative field of view and explore your ideas. // Why should you listen to me? I’ve done a lot of design, both physical and digital. Everything you see at thinkable I’ve crafted - ID / brand / copy / web / product / artwork / photography / film. Judge the work, it’s opinionated. I even spent a year writing a book on the topic (of Tangible Thinking). // coming soon. Sign up for the Kickstarter announcement. Link in bio.

Everyday I start off with a pen and paper. I make my ideas matter.

@charliedesigned Designing physical things is incredibly humbling. Having to trust suppliers remotely, isn’t for the faint of heart.

82 days and 8 interviews later - I got the “we have decided not to move forward with your candidacy.” It sucks, but this is normal. There are thousands of intangibles for what goes into a decision like this. Most are instantaneous, some decided in a rubric, others are how you perform, presented, and pushed. The volume of candidates X number of opportunities X rate of industry change = [unknown] If you’re in a simliar boat, how are you navigating the great un[known]?

I think you’re a designer when you call yourself one. Who’s to judge. But you really don’t hit the sweet stuff, until you move past the material, and design your point of view. 1000% to being able to manipulate the physical world. The nuances of making constraint based decisions, that will live forever shapes your aesthetic.

@getthinkable Yes to this. I am mean are you really a designer if you can’t do industrial, print and digital?

You’re not even hitting your design stride until you clock in at least 15 years and are able to design for both digital and physical worlds.

What does Best Buy have to do with AI frontier models? A lot more than you think. Selecting an AI provider and a model, is much like selecting a TV. You walk into Best Buy, the blue shirt asks you a bunch of questions then directs you to the appropriate rep. Sony, Samsung, LG, etc. They then tell you all of the features you’ll get in, at various price points. When you ask about a specific difference, they’ll cite some spec, and point at something only they I know. When you take it home, you have no reference to the specs, or benefits for features you just bought. Anthropic, OpenAI, Fable, Sol, reasoning, multi-modal, pro, instant - the list goes on. They’re all really good, but to the average person, you’ll never objectively care which one was better. Whats most important, is you - you’re the force multiplier - and what you use them for. Buy any 4K OLED TV, and it’ll blow away a HD TV any day.

I did 31 revisions on this concept before being semi-happy with it. Because one-shotting anything with AI is lame and feels cheap to me. No /loops, no /goal, just back and forth until I'm in love with the work. And I'm still not done with tweaks.

Thrilled to see the new caliber of designer assembling at @cursor_ai – congrats, Jenny! If you want to make a big career move, drop me a note. The future belongs to designers who build.
jenny wen@jenny_wen

ok! quick updates from me: - i left anthropic (who does that?!) - had a baby (i love her) - and am joining @cursor_ai as head of design (eep!) it's been a low-key dream of mine to nurture a team that cares so deeply about craft, quality, and building great tools. very excited!

NAMUH - [I needed to create an outline for the story in the product shot. Here's what I wrote] - Set in the future, after the first council-ai is established. Humanity has gone through the transformation of its species, with the emergence of sentient/conscious AI. The universal "speed" bump to first contact. Karius (Human) -17, 35, 62 - different ages -lost purpose -connects to self -loses everything Future - a city in the far future - unknown as to the event - AI - is the backdrop to the challenges - what event causes the rift "The Entity" - AI from a future alien species -invades ai-terrestrial (earth-based ai) - council-ai is its primary touchpoint Council - ai - The council AI was established after the AI Wars concluded (2048-09-15 7:45PM-7:47 PM) - The council interfaces at a governing level with humanity, "protects" against alien AI XIU (human) - Character that appears in the early part of book - Seems relevant, but is not -NPC like - Has value, but not revealed in the first book

if sci-fi is a prototype for the future, then storytellers have a special opportunity and responsibility to engage with it and help us navigate the implications of the unprecedented speed of tech evolution upon us. the good and the dystopian, we need the stories to find our way through.

Any rec of resources, people, labs, conferences, community, articles, research paper, etc… if I want to learn more about the intersection of aesthetic, computational creativity, and tech such as AI or BCI? I have equal interest in producing something beautiful and exploring or deconstructing the mechanism behind it.
