New reel of some of our newest and favorite work. At least the projects we can share publicly. Plus a few experiments shaping what comes next.
Work we’re proud of, made by people we’re very lucky to work with 💛.
We are really proud to share that our work with @ouraring has been recognized with three Webby Awards.
This one means a lot. The Webbys are special and this is truly a reflection of what strong partnership can produce. Grateful to the @ouraring team for the trust, ambition, and collaboration behind every detail.
Thank you @thewebbyawards and congrats to all this year’s nominees.

Thanks to everyone who came out last week to party at our new PDX studio space! We saw some old friends, made some new ones, worked with some incredible local vendors, and had a really good time. Can't wait for the next one!

Big thanks to @itsnicethat for taking the time to chat with us about everything from AI to why human taste still matters so much in the work.

Another Build Week is in the books. Last week a team of makers collaborated with @deadstockcoffee to refresh the brand, launch a new website + Shopify experience, build a custom social asset generator, produce a merch photoshoot, and make an easter egg video game full of Deadstock nostalgia.
Huge thank you to @deadstockcoffee, @vanportstudio, @nuformtype, the designers from @psugd, and the entire Instrument crew who made this one happen.
@google I/O kicks off this week, so we’re throwing it back to some of our favorite teaser collabs from 2018-2023, including a reverse escape room where players had to break into the Google Developers Marketing office by solving a series of riddles and hidden clues that ultimately unlocked a portal to the Shoreline stage.
So many fun ones!
Throwing it back to when we tapped into The Met Collection API to access hundreds of thousands of public-domain artworks and turned them into a poster generator tool.
Built with education and exploration in mind, the idea was simple: make anyone feel like a curator.

This year's Webby Awards was a time 💛.
We laughed, shared a table with our friends at @codeandtheory and @wearekettle, and celebrated alongside so many talented partners, collaborators, and teams.
Really grateful for the recognition this year. Thanks again, @thewebbyawards We’ll be back.

Variable type, controlled by your phone. A fun experiment exploring new interaction patterns and the flexibility of variable fonts. Live now on Playspace—🔗 in bio.

Check out this Figma plugin we built that extracts a primary color from any image and generates a complete palette, improving accuracy at scale.
When paired with custom AI models, it applies palette rules across IP and easily integrates into design systems.
Think of it like color automated.
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
Keep track of Instagram updates discreetly while protecting your privacy and staying anonymous.
View profiles and photos anonymously with ease using the Private Profile Viewer.
This free tool allows you to view Instagram Stories anonymously, ensuring your activity remains hidden from the story uploader.
