Google is down 30% and this is the case for why that might not matter 👀

Netflix cannibalized its own business and won. Google may be betting on the same move with cheap AI.

Same price. Less product. That’s shrinkflation.
When costs rise, some brands reduce what’s inside instead of raising the price on the shelf. You might miss a few ounces, but you’ll notice paying more.
The real challenge for brands is creating something people still see as worth ve you noticed getting smaller?

A glowing logo can sell more than you think.

It makes the upgrade visible to everyone around you. That’s where product design and status start working together.

Would the glow influence your decision?

The Duo’s hinge is breaking screens, so why no recall?

Because a few percent of units isn’t a recall. Apple just swaps the ones that fail.

What happens when AI becomes the operating system?
My take: we’re moving toward a world where you open your computer and go straight into AI. The software you need becomes part of that experience, instead of a collection of separate apps.
If that happens, companies like Anthropic res the value in tech—from the software we use to the hardware running it.
Would you trade your current desktop for an AI operating system? Tell me where you think this prediction gets it right—or wrong.

That cheap quote looks great until the samples show up.

Months of fixing what they got wrong, late-night calls, and parts that never look right. Comment “factory list” and I’ll send you the ones I trust 🏭

This drop went live a couple days ago, and I’m wearing it.

Every company is trying to fit AI into a pin or a pair of glasses.

Apple didn’t win by copying what existed. The next big thing won’t either.

“$400 plus $100 shipping” isn’t a discount. It’s the same $500 wearing a different shirt.

Ask for the parts list instead.

Those perfect product photos might be AI, and the product might not exist.

Factories list it, wait for orders, then see if they can make it.

Ford execs told me I was wrong about AI in cars. That was nine years ago.

AI is just smart code running complex systems. Use it like a tool.

Unverified, but still: don’t put anything in a chatbot you wouldn’t want read.

We took a client from $16/unit to $3. Same product. Just removed what didn’t need to be there.

How are you negotiating with your manufacturer?

Want cheaper tooling? Make your product prettier.

Factories love showing off the best thing they’ve ever built. Sometimes that means a free mold.

How many units do you actually order?

Starting out: 2,000 to 5,000. Established: up to 250,000. Big box stores: 10 million minimum.

Own your tooling before it costs you.

Clients ask why they should hire us. I could talk about the money we save them. One design paid for our fees and their first order.

The real answer is simpler. We’re the best.

Tesla just told the entire automotive industry to hold its beer.
A flying Roadster. Cold-gas thrusters. Engineers willing to ask “what if?” and actually build the thing.
As an industrial designer, this is the kind of ambition I love. The moment an outrageous idea becomes happen.
Our grandparents talked about flying cars. Now we’re watching one leave the ground.
Pretty damn cool to be here for it.

Surveys, Reddit threads, pre-selling to 10 people. He says skip all of it.

Ask someone what they want and they’ll describe something that already exists.

Too small. Too big. Just right.

That’s how one wine brand found its product, and it’s all customer complaints.
