At the end of 2021 , the largest wildlife passage in the world will break ground in California, bridging 10 formidable lanes of traffic on US-101.

A visual history of Playstation controllers?—?illustrated entirely in Figma Late last Thursday, I was in bed scrolling Instagram and came across a stylized drawing of a Super Nintendo controller.

From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
