Design keeps being misunderstood in our industry. New tools keep promising to generate interfaces faster, move words to product instantly, or collapse design directly into code. The assumption behind them is clear: that design is the act of producing.
How we redesigned the Linear UI (part Ⅱ) - Linear
We have redefined the foundational layers of Linear’s application with a full redesign. This is the second post in a two-part series where we dive into why and how we redesigned the application. In part one, we shared why redesigns are important. In part two, we introduce you to the new UI and cover how we tackled the project — no infinite-loop processes, workshops, or sticky notes were involved.

Make It So: Interaction Design Lessons from Science Fiction
Many designers enjoy the interfaces seen in science fiction films and television shows. Freed from the rigorous constraints of designing for real users, sci-fi production designers develop blue-sky interfaces that are inspiring, humorous, and even instructive. By carefully studying these “outsider” user interfaces, designers can derive lessons that make their real-world designs more cutting edge and successful

Designs for the pluriverse: radical interdependence, autonomy, and the making of worlds
"Arturo Escobar presents a new vision of design theory by arguing for the creation of what he calls 'autonomous design'--a design practice aimed at channeling design's world-making capacity toward ways of being and doing that are deeply attuned to justice and the Earth"--Publisher description
