I had two weeks of downtime where I could finally give my design portfolio some much-needed TLC. The goals behind the update were to have an online space to showcase work highlights, curate content, and learn the basics of Framer—a new tool for me. heybengeorge.com

I’m thrilled to announce we’ve raised $44M to build a new home for product design. Meet @noondesign. No workflow is more broken and fragmented in 2026 than the product designers’. The very same people who care most about building software don’t have software purpose built for them. @kushagrasinha7 and I have lived this problem first hand as designers ourselves. That’s why we built Noon. The first product design tool that works entirely on your product code, so you can design not only how a product looks, but also how it works. With AI at its core that works in seconds, not minutes. For the first time, you can create, iterate, build, test and ship. All in one canvas. No translations or roundtrips to the codebase and back. Comment “Get Noon” and we’ll get you on the list for early access.

Dot was deeply loved by the people who worked on it. We expressed that love through careful curation and editing, through spending months iterating on and developing an intuition for the material. However, it was simultaneously was very much a product of the old “Apple” style paradigm where craft and perfection were king, because in the old world designers had years to play with materials and develop an intuition for them. Multi-touch, aluminum, glass… Now the material (intelligence) changes too fast for that process. So products that live in symbiosis with the material, that embrace its rate of change and probabilistic nature as something to be loved vs optimized away are the ones that win. It’s a new material. We learn to work with it in new ways that celebrate it for what it is vs try to mimic the materials that came before, to express our love for humanity in new forms. so, tldr. Update your definition of design, of craft, or watch it die.

i have one upsetting observation: all the beautifully designed AI tools we’ve seen so far (dot, humane, cobot) were basically dead on arrival, while complex, highly technical products (claude code, openclaw) gain mass adoption in seconds. we're definitely missing something.

Product Designer → Design Engineer It took me a year, but I now believe more than ever that I want to be a Design Engineer, full-time ✨ What began in 2025 with apprehension turned into clarity after months of building and shipping After 5 years as a Product Designer, this feels like an exciting and natural transition I build for web (Tailwind & Framer Motion) and iOS (SwiftUI) 🖥️📱 I’m looking for a 100% remote role and am comfortable working in IST or WET 🌏 If you’re hiring design engineers and open to taking a chance on me, we should talk ✉️

A new time is here, a new GT Era. 🟥🟧🟦 GT Era reimagines the warmth and idiosyncrasies of early grotesk typefaces for our own era.

When you show stakeholders a design / prototype and their snap reaction is "I don't like this," there are only 3 reasons: 1. They disagree with the problem you're trying to solve 2. They disagree with your assumptions on how to best solve the problem 3. They disagree with your specific execution of how to best solve the problem The first thing you need to do is figure out the root cause of the disagreement -- it is #1, #2, or #3? The stakeholder usually can't articulate the reason for you b/c they don't know your intention. All they see is a design they don't like. Make the root cause analysis easier by always stating: 1. What is the user problem? 2. What assumptions are you basing your design on? Disagreement on #1 and #2 is like 60% of design disagreements in my experience.

Inter version 4.0 → rsms.me/inter/ After two years of work on a new version of Inter, I'm so proud that it's finally released. (It's been in beta for the past year) The changes are vast. Most notably there are six additional "Display" designs for large delicious type
