Designer Of The Week - @chsh.eth!

Week 04 – Each week, the Design Channel highlights one of the most influential designers in web3 and the Farcaster network. This week, we’re enjoying the company of Charles (@chsh.eth).

Charles is a product designer based in Brooklyn. By day, he works at a blockchain company, and by night and on weekends, he dives into side projects. Lately, he’s been vibecoding and exploring every new AI tool he can get his hands on.

1. What's your creative superpower?

I’m pretty fast at visualizing ideas. When someone talks about a brand or product, I usually see how it might look right away — the colors, the vibe, even what the name or logo could be. It just comes naturally, and I often jump in early on projects to help shape that visual direction. That way, everyone gets a clearer picture of what we’re trying to build.

But it’s not just about the visuals. I’m also good at thinking through systems and how ideas connect and extend naturally. When I have one core concept, I start imagining what comes next — how it could evolve, what logical steps or branches might grow out of it. It’s about seeing the bigger picture and the potential paths before anything is built, so the work feels more connected and intentional from the very beginning.

2. Tell us about a project you really enjoyed — what made it special?

One of the most fun projects I’ve worked on is RGB, which I built with my brother @metamonk. It was special because we had a shared vision and got to create something new together — a mix of design, code, and logic. The idea behind RGB is simple but powerful: it’s a framework based on the RGB color model, where red, green, and blue each range from 0 to 255. That gives you 16,777,216 possible combinations. What made it interesting is that we asked: what if instead of just color, those combinations could also represent something like emojis — so rgb(255,153,0) could be 🤠🥳🙂?

We call the outputs Signatures, and they are unique visual representations that contain the RGB values in their onchain metadata. It’s a project with structure and constraint, but also a lot of room for play and interpretation. It’s one of those projects where the deeper you go, the more ideas start flowing.

RGB could be a system for generative PFPs, for identity tracking, or for community infrastructure — the applications are wide open. We’re still figuring out what else we can do with the concept, but it’s the kind of project we’ll be building on for years.
