Making spinning things for the web. Websites @stripe and bringing books to life @stripepress
Hello, I'm Nick, I am a freelancer. This is my new portfolio: narrowdesign.com please tell your friends

A year in the making, my interaction design manual is available today. With 20 chapters and 20 downloadable React components on an interactive custom platform, it includes everything I know about not just interactions, but design. Registration is open for 2 weeks.

Please watch @devinjacoviello and I deliver a lecture on our process at an undisclosed location in London at a sold out event in May

I'm so pleased to present a new book with @stripepress: "The Scaling Era: An Oral History of AI, 2019-2025." Over the last few years, I interviewed the key people thinking about AI: scientists, CEOs, economists, philosophers. This book curates and organizes the highlights across…
We do not yet know what a “website” is and need at least another decade to figure it out
