Damn this is pleasantly unexpected, and also really good. https://music.apple.com/us/album/songs-of-a-lost-world/1768728131

I’ve got an opening in my schedule for a freelance project for the next 2-3 weeks. If you know anyone who is looking for some product design help, I appreciate an intro ✌🏻

A decade ago I first visited @zoink at the small @figma.design office in Palo Alto. They were working on blending modes that week. We continued chatting on and off throughout the years, and finally all the pieces fell into place. Excited to work with this crew ❤️

Final day to pre-order these keycaps! Delivery Q1 2025. All vendors can be found on my website: https://mvkb.com/classic-pbs/

I never ever wanna stop doing silly projects like this one. Final day to pre-order a set! https://mvkb.com/hi-viz/

Event Horizon artisan sets are available for another couple of days, wanted to show off the special custom packaging they’ll come in.

New collab with my friends over at Cotton Bureau. Do you like design? Do you like eye-searing colors? We’ve got just the hat for you… https://cottonbureau.com/p/KSG5VS/hat/design-hat

Give your friends the courage to share their wildest creative endeavors, because that shit is scary.

Projects like my current one are why I love my job. It’s a dance where multiple seasoned professionals try to squeeze as much as possible out of the constraints given. Stepping on toes is expected and immediately forgiven. No room for ego, only progress. Can’t wait to share more.

I’m available for freelance work for 2 weeks starting Monday. tim@maxvoltar.be if you’ve got a project that needs some help.

My heart and camera roll are filled with neon love. https://mvkb.com/hi-viz/

I was interviewed about my approach to designing all things keyboards  https://www.printmag.com/designer-profiles/mvkb-keyboards/

Soleio is the person behind the scenes of a lot of designer’s careers, pulling the right levers at the right times. His impact on product design worldwide is not to be underestimated. https://www.dive.club/deep-dives/soleio
