I'm Andreas, a growth-focused design engineer who is design first and builds the system underneath. I make founders' products easy to get, so customers buy and investors say yes, which so far has meant £1.4M raised for Neos and $172M for Schneider Electric.
Cheval Studio is where I prototype in the product's own code. An iteration takes about 23 minutes instead of half a day, and every version keeps who changed it and why.
Schneider's energy management software runs plants that turn sun and wind into hydrogen and ammonia. For the world's largest energy event, three of us had three weeks to make it readable from across a room, without changing how an operator reads it.
The first Mac named its menus with nouns and filled them with verbs, so every pick finishes a sentence. Forty-two years on the Finder still parses. Most product menus don't.
Even at Oxford Circus, Google Maps draws a Tube logo and a name. Naver draws every exit, the lifts and the change of line, and routes through them: the layer AR will need.
Line up a run of covers from one artist and the rules show. Sakepnk changes one shape per song, ziproom changes the place around the two of them, and both let you spot their records before you read a word.
One title, two job listings that want nearly opposite people. Here's how I read the role, where I sit on it, and why the mess makes this the best time to be in the field.
Korean road wayfinding and how it can decrease user load in split-second decision situations.
Bold makes text wider, and a toolbar centred on the selection slides with it. The obvious fix made it worse. The right one came from asking what never moves.
