DSCO

a "old school" wireframe of a computer, that transitions from a loading screen to the logo "DSCO" on an orange background.

A screenshot of a website displaying "Coming 1/16" on a gradient like background with Screen Reader open and displaying the same text.

Possible wordmark for DSCO. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Man. Quitting your job and just cannon balling into freelance is scary. 😬 😅 but gotta do it sooner or later I guess. Haha

Before I changed disciplines to design  I used to be a photographer  Heavily influenced by the 80s and futurism  

From the archives, one of my faves

Redesigned the ONE mobile banking app. 

Kept brand identity, just reorganized and added some features.

Solo studio name idea. 

soso studio

It’s a combo of my last name and a play on Phil Collins’s song “Sussudio”

… I think I’m funny. 🤷🏻‍♂️

DSCO site coming together - done in Framer.

Where and how does everyone find clients? 

… asking for a friend… 👀

Submitted for my LLC today. 

Productive first day of business set up. I actually find it more difficult finding the perfect typeface for DSCO. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

Archivo? Inter? Unica77? Rubik? So tough!

My first real design job: nervous & excited!

What advice would you share to someone's first time/first day as a designer?

I wonder what Myspace might look like if it wasn't sold... Bring it back.

Considering doing a canon ball into this pool called freelance. Considering taking a business loan to pursue this endeavor. 

Anyone take a similar approach?

Where do y'all find inspiration? What gets your gears turning?

Okay I have 3 final names for my solo design studio — which is your fav. 
(If you like them please don’t steal them!)

In no particular order:
1. Zync
2. Taupe
3. dsco (design supply co)

Thinking of starting a solo design studio, but coming up with a name is hard. Any ideas of where to look for inspiration?

Looking at brands like Supreme, mouthwash, from love, off-white. Something hypebeasty/futuristic? That’s the vibe.

I vow: as soon as I get a job I will become a supporter here.  Be patient with me  ❤️. Love this app and community

What do yall freelancers use for project management? Coda? Notion? Linear? Jira? Good ole fashioned calendar. I’m in the process of building my tech stack.

It's official, official

Tomorrows the day! New DSCO launches

@krzysztofzimnicki and I are super excited to share what we’ve been working on!

I’m seeing a trend of app designs with background patterns. Worth keeping an eye on.  👀

Man, running your own design business is hard. lol It's been days since I've actually designed anything. It's all emails, meetings, systems, etc.

@krzysztofzimnicki and I got something cooking… 🔥

I love everything about this video. So awesome. Recommend watching on fullscreen, max brightness and with headphones. Great job guys! https://read.cv/about

After almost 4 years, I finally tested positive for Covid. 

I’m no longer a part of the no covid club.

The Mirage sculpture at Apple Park from the recent Apple Event was made from sand that was collected around the world. 

Each column represents a desert.

New website live. Any feedback is appreciated.

My Apple Card is not going to like me very much this month. Oof  😅

Reading “The Obstacle is the way” by Ryan Holiday. 

I have to accept DSCO is a failure. 😅🥲 

I’ll just focus on my solo work.

Why is it always “make the logo bigger?” And never “does the logo even matter?” 🤔

Even when using Spline for cool-ass visuals on the landing page, we ain't forgetting about accessibility w/Screen Reader 🤝

Shout out to @Leland for hopping on a chat and helping me out and thank you all for the feedback - I was so excited to share and thank you for the feedback and all the help! This is the best community and I'm so thankful you are so welcoming and helpful.

Blows my mind how talented you all are. Hope to get to y’all’s level someday. ❤️ 🤙🏼

Switched my primary bank to cash app… will report back.

Notice anything new & different about my profile?

I’m a supporter now! As promised! 💛

The passive aggressive urge to make the logo gigantic when asked to make it “bigger”

Lort give me strength.

Me being me… I’m going to do something unhinged. 

Starting at 12AM 11.6.23 - 5 PM 11.6.23 I’m going to offer free design services. 

Brand identity, email design, prototype, wireframe, UX research, icon design you name it. 

*first come first serve

Anyone working on something this weekend? I need to get inspired. 🪄
