Hey there! We finally met in person again. We caught up on our recent experiences and talked about my trip to the art supply store. We discussed our favorite pens, sketchbooks, and painting tools. We explored the idea of timeless design and shared our thoughts on why some products stay relevant for decades. We talked about clarity, purpose, and honesty in design, and we questioned how much space designers really have to create lasting work. We also discussed design awards, weighing their value for visibility against the challenges and pressures designers face. Later, we dove into the Nothing Phone and analyzed its bold, transparent aesthetic and what it means for the design community. Cheers!
