coffee

Sipping my coffee while browsing Susan Kare prints for the new space.

Susan Kare designed the early Mac icons with no background in pixel art. She sketched them on cheap graphic paper from a university art store in Palo Alto. She was inspired by the crafts knowledge her mother had taught her at a young age: needlepoint, knitting, mosaics.

She is also a coffee enthusiast. She designed the coffee shop in the lobby of Pinterest HQ in San Francisco, which was called The Point. It used to be open to the public. Unfortunately it’s now closed.

Building a little space by the ocean. More information at /thenextwave coming soon.

LOVE susan kare. ultimate icon (pun intended?)
