When comes to brand design, Mike and Cara from Smith & Diction (smith-diction.com/) are pretty much top of the game (you might recognize them as the ones who did the brand identity for Perplexity).
During our interview, it didn't take me long to realize that these two have more hacks and mental models for creativity than just about anyone I’ve met.

![From Uber to Apple to new design founder
If I told you someone had a background as a senior designer at companies like Uber, Dropbox, Apple, and Patreon then youd be pretty impressed, right?
Same.
But Adam Noffsinger (https://x.com/ANoffsinger) walked away from all of that to start Alma] https://www.alma.food/) (which you might remember from the Smith+Diction episode (https://youtu.be/Jhxx6yK2J08?feature=shared&t=2131)).
So this episode is a deep dive into what it *really* looks like to go 0→1 as a design founder.
Adam even walks us through his Figma file for Alma (https://www.alma.food/) so if you’re interesting in startups or designing something from nothing, then I think you’ll really enjoy this conversation 👇
