Founder's note

We're just getting started...

In the wake of a new paradigm of user interface and user experience, Telescope is the just getting started.

Telescope is a collective way for designers to explore the boundaries of these new interfaces, from AI to AR, VR and beyond. A place to design products and interfaces that make a difference to the world. A place to collaborate and learn, through community, content, writing, tools and more...

The need for designing usable, accessible, human, positive, and empowering experiences is only becoming more and more difficult, and more and more necessary, with the speed of technological advancement driven by AI.

And the knowledge gap is huge.

That's the reason I created Telescope. To bring designers and companies together around a shared vision of creating a better future through design, to share knowledge and to tell a new story of positive, human technology that can empower us to live better lives.

I hope that Telescope can help you in some small way, as a designer, founder, or creative person. Whether that be by keeping up to date with the latest design approaches and technology, deepening your work through our tools, learning through our content, or working with us directly to help design your own company's products.
