Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people. Unfortunately, that’s too rare a commodity. A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.

Everybody is a genius. But, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it’ll spend its whole life believing that it is stupid.

It’s rare that we lose somebody so universally loved and respected by everybody they’ve met. I think this is one of those occasions. Rest in Peace Mehdi - you won’t be forgotten.

Fur Boots, Tween Ravers, and Techno Music: A Day at Identity Festival

It’s fun when we’re able to get out of the office and take our prototypes to meet with real musicians. They always bring a fresh perspective, especially the acts that play at dance festivals, and we’re always excited to have their input.

This Saturday was no different as we headed up to Mountain View to meet up with a few artists on the Identity Tour. We started the day catching up with our epically talented friend Justin, who’s currently touring with Kaskade as his roving cinematographer, before heading backstage to hear what the artists had to say about our product. We probably shouldn’t name names just yet, but we’re psyched to have them involved and can’t wait to see what they do with it.
