Introducing Catalog. There are more tools, resources, and references for designers than ever. I wanted one place to keep track of what’s worth knowing, and to discover new things along the way. Catalog is exactly that: a curated collection of the references and resources we use at Offgrid.

We’ll be expanding Offgrid’s services to include motion and sonic branding. Going all in on how people experience a brand. This feels like coming full circle, as I started out as a music producer. Bringing that background into the work is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time.

More and more design studios are showcasing interactive tools in their case studies, and I’m here for it. We went from static PDFs to motion, and now we’re letting people actually play with the brand. It’s no longer just a bunch of rules, the constraints are built into the brand itself.

Everyone talks about craft and opinionated design, but as soon as Spotify drops a fun app icon, those same people freak out. The temporary icon is great. You know you’ve made something great when people have extreme reactions to it. Never aim to please everyone.

No matter how advanced creative tools get, I’ll always prefer to work on a canvas. Simply because I can duplicate my work every time I get a new idea. I want to see the progress and discover gems in past iterations.

Craft quality is directly tied to business results. Figma's State of Design report shows that designers who work at companies that prioritize craft report better business outcomes. Not just better design. Better business performance.

I'm seeing more studios and in-house teams building brand-specific visual tools. They generate on-brand backgrounds, illustrations, and compositions. Custom outputs that feel native to the identity. This fractal glass effect generator by Studio Justified for Indicium AI is a good example.

The iPhone 17e video doesn't look like Apple. Usually it's all minimalism. One system, one look, everything controlled. This one mixes visual styles: Retro typography, clean product shots, comic-style bursts, cinematic footage, all with different filters.

“Make it feel human” That’s something I’ve been hearing more and more lately. Clients asking for work that feels hand-drawn, more organic, less polished.
