Join Us at San Francisco Design Week
06 · 10 · 2020

We’re proud to be the 2020 design partner for (the now virtual) San Francisco Design Week. This year’s theme, Intentional Distortions, is an open call to challenge perceptions, explore new boundaries, and push beyond our limitations.

The past days, weeks, and months have demonstrated that things are always changing, and that things still need to change.

We look forward to coming together to exchange ideas and channel our collective energy.

In Solidarity
06 · 03 · 2020

We stand in solidarity with the Black community, and against systemic racism. With this post, we hope that today we’re able to act as a multiplier.

Here’s a list of anti-racism resources, funds, charities, initiatives, and individuals to learn from, donate to, and support.

Please consider the resources you have in this moment, and join us in donating your attention, time, and money.

We all have work to do.

Throwing the Lasso: A Word on Naming
04 · 28 · 2020

If Google had tried to name the company after its core offering, it might have registered a name like Jerry’s Guide to the World Wide Web (the original name for Yahoo!).

Choosing a name is an investment, don’t undersell your chances. Great names start with a strong sense of identity and strategy. Learn about the naming process at Landscape.
