Dear Designer,

First, I want to welcome all of you new subscribers. Nearly 200 of you have decided to join this little project — addressing the state of design, reviewing the various realities for designers, and assessing the prospects and promises for making the art of the everyday.

Last week’s newsletter summarized design at a critical crossroads, which presented five vectors that will change our work — and what may result for us professionally.

I’m on holiday this week. I’ve decided to hold my tongue and my peace, for now.

Herewith, some waves 👋👋👋 and some waves:
