Notes<\/span><\/p>\n

Things we only learned by doing<\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

Trends and tools in design, branding, and technology, plus the problems we run into while building things, and what we make of them.<\/p>\n

Each post is a mistake we walked into: why the symptoms were misleading, why we chose what we chose, and whether it turned out to be right. There’s no publishing schedule, and we deliberately leave off dates. An observation doesn’t become wrong because it was written six months ago.<\/p>\n
