An Interview with Martin Karasek

Today on The Industry, we're chatting to Martin Karasek, a Prague-based web and iOS designer whose work you will probably recognise, even if you don't know his name.

An Interview with Oli Lisher

Here at The Industry, we're all about discovering and showcasing new talent, as well as celebrating existing talent. Whilst I'd hardly call Oli Lisher "new talent" (He's been at this design thing for 7 years now), I think he's something more exciting - He's one of those designers who, it would appear, is constantly on the up and up - This year, he's working with some ...

An Interview with Noah Stokes

Setting up a business can be a scary thing - Not only do you have to worry about your well-being, you have to worry about the well-being of all your employees. But for Noah Stokes, who set up the studio Bold with Garrett St. John in 2010, it was one of the best decisions in his career. Today, I'm chatting to Noah about the setting up of Bold, how it's improved his ...

An Interview with Christopher Downer of Realmac Software

What do you ask a designer who is partially responsible for some of the biggest app hits of the last few years, such as Clear, LittleSnapper and RapidWeaver, and who is fast-becoming an authority on great app design? You ask him about dogs, of course. In my opinion, Christopher Downer, designer at Realmac Software, designs some of the most beautiful apps out there ...

An Interview with Jon Gold

The whole "Should designers code?" question is one that seems to pop up every few months - There have been debates, discussions, agreements, and, inevitably, disagreements about it. Today, we're getting to know somebody who is most definitely in the "Yes" camp. Everybody, this is Jon. Jon, this is everybody. Jon Gold is, for all intents and purposes, not a designer...

An Interview with Laura Kalbag

Every once in a while, a designer will pop up in the community whom you hadn't heard of before, but you feel like you should have - Somebody who has done so much great stuff that, having discovered them, you can't imagine not having had them in the community. For me, recently, that person has been Laura Kalbag - I first discovered Laura's work back in November, and ev...

An Interview with Jeremy Keith

The phrase "who needs no introduction" is bandied about all too often these days, and usually with no good reason - Surely it's a bit presumptuous to assume that everybody is acquainted with some person whom you are acquainted with. But then there's Jeremy Keith. Unless this is the first time you've been on the internet ever, Jeremy shouldn't really need much of...

An Interview with Keir Whitaker

Sometimes, to truly appreciate the work that we do, it's important to see it from as many angles as possible. Maybe that's seeing how developers work, understanding what that sysadmin guy in the office does, or simply being able to compare and contrast all different kinds of work situations. Today, I'm chatting with Keir Whitaker, a developer and guy-who's-worked-in-a...

An Interview with Paul McKeever of Typecast

We've covered Typecast quite a bit here on The Industry, and it's easy to see why: They're a great team, and they have a great product. Plus, they were acquired by Monotype back in October. If, for some reason, you haven't heard of it, Typecast is a web app for creating browser-based typography in your browser. Oh, and it's great, in case that wasn't already clear. ...

An Interview with Julien Renvoye

Ask anyone in the design community what they think of Dribbble, and they'll tell you that they love it, and that it's a great source of inspiration. But for some, it means a little bit more. For some, it launched their careers, and fostered them into the excellent designers that they are today. That was the case with today's guest, Julien Renvoye. Julien is a web a...
