hi, my name is Alex, and i’m a phone addict. it takes too much of my life, messes with my dopamine, and i want to fix it. i’ve been working on a few things to help me get back to presence. it’s a personal journey, but i want to share what i find along the way. the first product will be a physical object. but before anything else.. we need an internet home.

stats now have a quick preview on long press. wish you could feel these haptics! also, added a separate view for actual money invested, instead of the more abstract “price.” L C K D N

Virgin Atlantic Heathrow Clubhouse, London, 2006. Peak Y2K interior design, when airports were allowed to look genuinely futuristic.

funny how everyone rushes to check their phones the second the plane lands (me included, of course.) WHAT’S NEW? drugs

when you grew up on classic ’80s logos and unintentionally keep bringing that style.

The Y2K era aesthetics of the Nissan Gallery Ginza by Akihito Fumita opened in 2001 Seems like Tokyo had so many amazing futuristic project designs around this time

wanted to design a simplified LCKDN logo with barbed wire for metal engraving. somewhere along the way, it turned into a parametric tool that adds barbs to any icon. in motion, too. built it with Toolcraft from @alex_barashkov, and it kept Claude busy for 24+ hours straight with very solid v1 at the end. super useful kit. so, if you need to barb your logo (i doubt), be my guest. *** lock your phone be free

the most annoying thing about Claude: it uses “colour” instead of “color”

genuinely amazed by how people come up with things like this.
이런 미니 디바이스에 인터랙션 넣어놓은 거 보면 괜히 갖고 싶어짐.. 기능보다도 손으로 조작하는 맛 때문에 계속 보게 된다아

the sign system i mentioned. Olivetti developed this visual language with the Ulm School of Design as business expanded internationally, so it could be understood by any operator, regardless of language. pretty much the same reason we use icons today to make interfaces easier to comprehend. highly recommend this lecture on Olivetti’s contribution to personal computing: youtu.be/bphaSapH2jo
added a new shape for $100 bills, for the high spenders. inspired by Olivetti ELEA9000 sign system
