Another year, another opportunity to step back and look at the patterns around what the design community is thinking about, publishing, and discussing. Here's a glimpse into some of our favorite (and most shared) pieces from 2024. Thanks for being part of the conversation—catch you in the new year.

If you want to be creative, you can’t be certain →

Exploring how AI lives in the past and dreams of the future.


A minimalistic app to track what to read, listen and watch →

On big transformations in our industry

UX design isn’t dead, you’re just confused →

Complicated sticks →
The rise of tools for everything and nothing in particular.

Tech’s obsession with speed →
AI + Hermes (speed) worship.


On finding meaning

It’s time for design to think less and feel more →
How designers can reconnect to us being humans.

Designers: you need to read science fiction →
To anticipate future needs, you need to imagine the future.

Beautiful, boring, and without soul →
Something more than merely a green space.


On the role of designers

The features investors want are not the ones your users need →
Why UX should care about the business… but not too much.

Never skip research day →
It’s a powerful tool for organizational influence.

Why designers need to be more like gardeners →
