2026 branding: IN / OUT IN Warmth + optimism Being a little weird Painterly backgrounds Fun mascots Playfulness Nostalgia Imperfection Boldness Off-white backgrounds One color that feels wrong Asymmetry Light mode Type with a little funk Visible grain Natural texture Analog references OUT Ultra-polish Purple Predictable gradients Hyper-futurism Fitting in Minimalism Cold palettes Dark mode + one color First-letter logos Safe sans serifs Node/network graphics Photos of people UI-led identity Slickness over emotion ————— 2026 isn’t about looking modern. It’s about looking ALIVE.

Google's Cursor competitor: FREE! My course for you to learn: FREE! My holiday gift to you 🎁 [⚠️ Comment "Antigravity" & I'll send you the link] Antigravity is Google's answer to Cursor. It's an AI tool that works directly on your device. Not just for developers! For ANYONE who works with text. It's 100% free right now. Access to Gemini 3 Pro. Even Claude Opus 4.5 (!) Use Nano Banana Pro right in the chat. No subscription. No trial. No credit card. This won't last forever. I've been teaching Cursor to PMs for months. But Cursor costs $20/month. Antigravity removes that barrier completely. So I rebuilt the entire course for AG. It's an Antigravity course taught IN Antigravity. So everything you do is directly applicable! The AI IN the tool is your teacher. What you'll learn: → Write PRDs with AI assistance → Analyze CSV data and survey results → Create strategy documents → Build reusable templates and workflows But here's what most people don't realize: This isn't just for PM work. The real reason I wanted to get this out today... On-device AI assistants are useful for LIFE: 🔹 Want to reorganize your files? 🔹 Rename hundreds of photos? 🔹 Clean up your Downloads folder? 🔹 Convert documents between formats? 🔹 Troubleshoot why something isn't working? Just open the files and ask. Talk to it like a person. I spend all day in these tools now. I've never been so productive. Or had so much fun. AI in a browser is like wearing a straightjacket. This is a terrible day for a launch. But I genuinely want to free you! You've been meaning to learn this stuff. You've got the time. The course is free. The tool is free. No excuses! This is my gift to you. Happy Holidays 🌲 👉 Repost + comment "Antigravity" & I'll send you the link

If you ever felt stuck in a creative rut, it’s probably because you are trying to get it right instead of being bold enough to entertain bizarre ideas. That was my key take away from @designertom’s episode with @soren_iverson and his team. If you haven’t watch it yet, you are missing out. youtu.be/6p0D7yCVPzc?si=uSS5…

Oh my, can't wait to dive into this
You can now design directly in your codebase. Select elements, modify them visually, and Cursor writes the code.

I am embarrassed to say this but I’m going to say it anyways. In my 5 years of being a product designer, I just worked in my day job and spent rest of the time being stuck in learning mode. I dabbled with tools here and there but I haven’t purposely shipped nothing of my own. For 2026, I'm going to make it my ultimate mission to break this cycle and become a builder. I’ll be documenting my journey so feel free to follow along if you are interested! Also, let me know if you doing the same, I’d love to connect and do this together.

The interface of the future is human. We’ve raised a $40M Series B from CRV, Scale, Sequoia, and YC to teach machines the art of being human, so that using a computer feels like talking to a friend or a coworker. And today, I’m excited for y’all to meet the PALs: a new human-computing interface. PALs are emotionally intelligent, multimodal, and capable of understanding and perceiving. They can see, hear, reason, and even look like us. We’re releasing our 5 favorite PALs to start. Each PAL has its own distinct personality- from AI assistants to best friends. PALs: - Meet us where we are. Face-to-face over video call, on the phone, or even by text. - Are always thinking. They’re proactive, reach out first, remind you about what you forgot, or might just check in on you. - Understand us, finally. PALs can see us, understand our tone, emotion, and intent, and communicate in ways that feel more human. - Evolve with you. PALs have advanced memory, remember your preferences and needs, and adapt themselves over time. - Are capable. PALs can handle complex tasks — from responding to your emails to moving your schedule around to creating docs and doing research for you. Science fiction promised us a new human-computer interface, beyond the GUIs of yesterday, a human-like interface that would feel second-nature to use. That future never came, until now. Charlie’s story brings this idea to life. We’re excited for you to meet Charlie and his PALs for free at tavus.io Enjoy the film 👇

This episode from @joindiveclub really hit me. Seeing what @thenickpattison and @pranathiperii built so quickly in Lovable and v0 was wild. It genuinely unlocked something for me 😅 I need to level up my prompting skills, these kinds of pattern tools that bridge creativity across different tools is just so cool! youtu.be/5ADHIIBtzQw?si=laDR…

stop overthinking, start building: the best way to predict the future is to invent it. and the best way to invent is to start building. you can dream all you want. you can think in abstract, map out perfect systems in your head, debate the ideal architecture. but none of that matters until you start making something real. building is like mounding clay. you don't start with the perfect form. you start with a lump. you push, you shape, you feel the resistance. the material talks back. it tells you what works and what doesn't. you learn by doing, not by thinking about doing. with Cursor, the gap between idea and reality is basically zero now. you don't need to know every syntax, every framework, every pattern. you just need to start. Cursor helps you shape the clay. it fills in the gaps. it lets you focus on what you're making, not how to make it. overthinking is just fear dressed up as preparation. you're not getting ready, you're just delaying. the longer you wait, the more you convince yourself it needs to be perfect before you start. but perfect doesn't exist at the beginning. it only emerges through iteration. every great thing you've ever seen started as something rough. the first iPhone was a prototype held together with tape. the first Notion was a clunky tool that barely worked. the first anything was messy. but it existed. and because it existed, it could be improved. so stop planning the perfect app. stop debating the right tech stack. stop waiting for the right moment. just open Cursor and start building. make something bad. make something that barely works. then make it better. then make it better again. the future isn't something you think your way into. it's something you build your way into. one line of code at a time. one iteration at a time. like mounding clay until something beautiful emerges. start today. start now. start messy. just start.

Most designers want to get into their dream company. Few think about what they’d bring to the table *as a partner.*
