On Design Systems with Özlem Gürsoy-Bozkurt

Conversation/ On Design Systems with Özlem Gürsoy-Bozkurt

Call me a digital nomad. This week, I'm working remotely, from a location I won't disclose yet. (If you're curious, you should follow our YouTube channel for the reveal.) As digital nomads, we get to immerse in diverse cultures, and that's great. But even better is how we get to hang out and collaborate with different people. This week, I've had the pleasure of co-living with a couple of my closest friends, who also happen to be in the design

Books That Inspired This Episode * The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin * Articulating Design Decisions by Tom Greever * Build: An Unorthodox Guide

(Meta) Platform Update: March 2023

Our regular readers may have noticed, what drew me into the world of design was a love for objects. From my interview with Anthony Hobday: Finally, when I was in high school, my parents bought our first home. With the new home, came new furniture. Some of this furniture was more interesting. It was more expensive. It received more care. I was instructed to be careful with it... I remember asking my mom, “Why is this stuff more important?” She

Editor's Choice: Profound Books I Read in 2022

(Roundup) Editor's Choice: Profound Books I Read in 2022

I believe I'm extremely fortunate, because every morning I spend at least half an hour reading books. Every morning, one chapter, and I start the day feeling blessed – because I have the time and space to do this, and because I can afford to own books. As you might imagine, I end up reading a lot of books this way. I don't keep track of it very well, but this year I must have finished at least 20, and abandoned
