Founder @ourmutualstudio. Previously designing @meta Quest and @apple Siri, and leading design for Caffeine (a16z, Greylock). Designing for inflection points.
Hi friends! First time posting here since the pandemic.
Over the past 10 years: left Apple, designed the first Oculus Quest, led product and brand design at Caffeine, then went independent. I run a design studio now called Our Mutual Friend.
What did I miss? ๐
2ยข โ I think it hurts creators and companies to elicit AI aversion, let alone for people to experience it constantly. Looking away can mean missing an insight or some hidden value, but I'm not convinced that self-protection is a personal deficiency for users to fix.
Star Wars was religion when I was a kid, so we watched A New Hope with my 4yo for the first time for Motherโs Day.
He cried when the Death Star exploded, then yelled โyay!โ when he realized Vader got awayโฆ should I be worried cc @settern@reneritchie
I did a Hack Week project on Highlights at Medium. Inline text selection as instant save and signal โ like Genius, SoundCloud, Kindle.
I'd love this as AI and OS standard. Right now key text gets lost in a sea, or pasted out. Would be smart to save core memories inline for free.
Lately Iโve been watching my children play with physical pixels and going to the AI-inspired ballet with friends. Neither of these are nature, both are wonderful
To be clear, Iโm not high-roading anyone โ Iโm catching up on X and rewatching Season 1 of Succession, because even that now feels quaint and gentle
Initial observation on being back: oh wow this is definitely 1:1 with LinkedIn on AI being the 99% discussed topic. How are we all feeling? How is touching grass going for everyone here ๐โ๏ธ
@rspitzer I'd love to hear about your journey! So impressed with the TMNT + Charmander + bees options it put together in a heartbeat, will be returning when we get close to our oldest's birthday ๐

These women in design SHIPPED OCULUS QUEST TODAY! ๐
These are just some of the people I designed alongside, fought alongside, cried with, and together we somehow also made a VR product thatโs the first of its kind.
Congratulations team! YOU DID THIS ๐ #oculus#oculusquest
