An Interview with Peter Vidani of Tumblr

In an industry defined by frequent pivots and trend-based design, Tumblr has remained impressively consistent throughout its seven-year history. The past four years have been particularly stable: while the product has been consistently refined, Tumblr circa 2009 bears great resemblance to Tumblr circa 2013. The man responsible for the product's design direction is ...

Behind The Scenes of the New Kippt

Just over a week ago, I was presented with the opportunity to interview Karri Saarinen, co-founder and designer for Kippt. On the agenda for the interview was talking about the all new Kippt. With a team of two, from start to launch, the updated Kippt took around four to five months, with many iterations, challenges, and final results along the way. As with all ...

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 ...

Jon Gold

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 Haraldur Thorleifsson

Today I'm talking to an accomplished designer from Iceland who's done some great work for companies like Google and Square. Without further ado, let's introduce Haraldur Thorleifsson! How did you get into design? Most designers seem to have been drawing from an early age and obsessing over font ligatures since they were in diapers. I on the other hand can't remember...
