“I had the privilege of working under Angus’ leadership at Arrival where his visionary direction was backed up by exceptional creativity and deep appreciation for design craft. Angus not only excels at his craft but also taught me valuable lessons in diplomacy. Navigating complex, sometimes challenging, relationships with team members across the world. Whenever there was ever any uncertainty, Angus had an incredible ability to guide discussions toward positive and productive outcomes. Working with Angus gave me greater confidence in my own leadership abilities. He has a remarkable talent for knowing when to trust, encourage, and challenge his team, while accepting nothing less than exceptional design work. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with Angus again in the future. Any organisation fortunate enough to have him at its creative helm will undoubtedly thrive under his vision and expertise.”

Form follows finish? Rethinking the role of CMF in design What comes first: the form or the finish? Too often, CMF is invited to the party once the shape is set. The surface becomes the dressing, not part of the story. But when CMF thinking enters early, it can unlock directions industrial design alone might not reach. A texture can suggest a grip detail. A colour shift can define hierarchy. A recycled material with new flow lines can spark a form language built to celebrate, not hide, its origin. It is not about decoration. It is about dialogue. The conversation between CMF and ID should be iterative, where form inspires finish and finish provokes form. When both speak to each other, the product gains clarity, honesty and a deeper sense of intent. Design teams that integrate CMF earlier find they waste less time on compromises later. They also arrive at products that feel more original and coherent, because the details were not bolted on but baked in. --- If you paused, pass it on. Follow Jared Mankelow for more design.

What happens after you finish an LCA? The natural instinct is to tweak materials, fix packaging, tick the compliance boxes. But what if those insights became the launchpad for something bigger? Our final Ecodesign Rule explores this shift. It’s a fitting end to the series, because it’s really about beginnings. #ImpactByDesign #SustainableDesign

INDUSTRIAL DESIGNERS: weight distribution tells the quality story before specs do Pick up a cheap product and a premium one with your eyes closed, you'll know which is which in under a second. It's not just about being heavy or light. It's about where the weight lives and how it moves in your hand. Apple obsesses over this. The MacBook's battery isn't in the center, it's positioned so the weight balances at the hinge when you lift the screen. Sony does it with cameras, the lens weight counterbalanced by the grip and battery position. This isn't an accident, it's math and iteration. The principle is that weight should guide the primary interaction. A mouse should feel heavier in the palm than the fingers. A phone should balance where you grip it, not where the camera bump is. A tool should feel deliberate when you pick it up and effortless when you use it. When weight distribution is wrong, everything else suffers. The best UI in the world can't save a product that feels cheap in your hand. And users won't articulate this, they'll just say "it doesn't feel right" and buy something else. ——— To bold ideas and well-crafted things, —Blair Let’s connect → linkedin.com/in/blairhasty

Manufacturing is facing a skills crisis—and traditional training isn’t going to fix it. With the UK losing around £6 billion annually due to long-term vacancies, traditional training just isn’t enough anymore. What if instead of shadowing and classroom sessions, we gave people VR headsets, AI mentors, and immersive experiences designed to let them learn by doing and add value from day one? In my team’s latest article for frog Design Mind, we argue that design and AI powered experiential learning isn’t just a nice-to-have. It is the only way forward if we want to close the skills gap and build a resilient future workforce, faster. 👉 Read here: https://lnkd.in/etb3eBfq Shoutout to my co-creators Arlene Carsley FCIPD Jessica Ayuya Jaedan E.
