"Make it clean design" isn't the brief.
Clean is what's left after you've decided what matters.
That decision is the entire job.

We're excited to share our latest launch: the new brand and website for Kin & Co.
Founded by Toronto-based editorial and commercial photographer Samuel Engelking, Kin & Co. is a boutique portrait studio for families who've always been intentional about how they live, and how they're seen.
We met Samuel in person and connected right away over a shared belief: family photography had gone stale, and design-conscious families deserved something with real editorial intention behind it. We partnered with him to build a brand and website that could carry that vision.
From the custom serif logotype to the tactile, print-first identity system, every detail was built to let Samuel's photography lead.
No clichés. Just intention, taste, and images made for the wall.
This is so nicee
Nick (@nickbakeddesign) just shared with @Daniel G Bright and I how he uses AI to think like a dev, design better products, and close higher‑quality clients, while staying tiny on purpose.

Built not just to save ideas, but to bring users back to the product ✨
Most note taking apps solve only one problem: helping users capture something quickly.
But the real growth challenge comes later.
Users collect voice notes, images, links, and unfinished thoughts, but rarely return to them. The archive keeps growing while its value barely increases.
That is why we built the experience around one retention loop:
Capture. Connect. Rediscover. Continue.
Continue Thinking brings users back to unfinished ideas.
Connected Ideas reveals relationships between notes, voice recordings, and references.
Resurfaced Thoughts brings older content back at the right moment.
As a result, the product works not as passive storage, but as a living personal knowledge system that creates a real reason to return.

I like that the focus is on retention, not just capture. The products people keep using are usually the ones that help users rediscover value, not just store more information.
