I put together 15 principles of what I think it means to be a great designer.

I wanted to summarize 30 years of hard earned lessons and share them with you.

New design role: @browsercompany wants to pay someone a lot of money to make people SMILE.

Truly, that's the role. We're hiring a specialized design engineer focused on: motion, color, interactions, sound effects, haptics, playful transitions, and the like.

It’s a cursor, it’s a cape, it’s an incredibly complex identity system!

So your company acquires another company and now you're changing your name to the smaller company. Let's dig in.

Hi.

My name is Halli. I'm the founder and CEO of Ueno. First of all, I want to say yes, @uenodotco is back.

I'm kind of surprised myself. I wasn't really planning on it. I started Ueno in my apartment in Reykjavík, Iceland in 2014. And seven years later I sold it to Twitter for a lot of money.

But it wasn't the money. That's maybe hard to believe but that wasn't the reason. Business was great, I didn't need money. I needed a new challenge.
Ueno had grown over those seven years to multiple offices and over 100 people. We were working with the biggest brands in the world on some really exciting projects. But still, I felt like something was missing.

I had been on the outside for a long time, working for companies to make something and then we’d hand it off to them to nurture and grow it. I wanted to be on the inside of a big company and see things through, to see them grow.

I wanted a challenge and the biggest one I could find was Twitter. To help people make better connections, to find their communities, engage more earnestly.

Things didn't turn out like I expected. But in hindsight that's not really what matters. We did some great work and I learned more than I could have imagined. About corporate ups and downs, and about my own ups and downs. I saw things you wouldn’t believe.

And then suddenly I was free and I went and made some other things. I built a lot of wheelchair ramps, I built a restaurant and movie theater, a bank, a recording studio, a community for creative people. I started a podcast, released a visual album, acted in some movies.
I did everything I always wanted to do.

And it was great.

But after four years away from Ueno it kept picking at me.

This little itch. The feeling I get when someone comes with something that's just an idea and they want our help to see it become real. It feels like magic. Like alchemy. I missed that feeling.

And so, yes, Ueno is back.

Blammo!

I feel so grateful to work at a company that is willing to go HAM on AI production alongside our normal stuff.

This video was made yesterday with Veo3.

[Loredana Crisan @loredanacrisan]

Design has always been about removing the unnecessary so the essential can shine. @Figma embraced this from the start, becoming the canvas where the world’s most creative teams shape products for billions. I was fortunate to lead one of these teams at Meta for nearly a decade.

Now, AI carries design into its most empowered chapter yet: where tedium fades while taste, exploration, and play take center stage.

I’m honored to join Figma as CDO, partnering with @nlevin, @damiencorrell, and Viral Shah to evolve how we create, collaborate and build in this new world.

[Ben Blumenrose @benblumenrose]

I’m a chief design officer. Oh cool, of what company? The United States. Ever heard of ‘em?
