Inspired By #1
Hi, thanks for signing up to my – first ever – newsletter!
In this newsletter I will share the stuff that inspires me. Most of it I find through my Twitter-feed, my bookmarks, some Slack groups and other newsletters like: Dense Discovery by Kai Brach, 82% Nieuwsbrief by Reinier Ladan, Halfvet by Jeroen Disch and Nozzmail by Bram van Rijen.
Hope you’ll like it!

🤟 Agency I Admire: Ueno
Ueno never fails to deliver on great UX & Design for industry leaders like Uber & Slack as well as for startups. In their own words: “We use brains and fancy machines to create brands, products and experiences that help our clients solve problems and seize opportunities.”
Their founder and CEO Haraldur Thorleifsson is very active and outspoken on Twitter, I wish more agencies would be like this 👏
