Thiago Costa - Cultivating taste as a designer

If you asked me “who has the best taste in design right now?” one of the first people I’d mention is Thiago Costa.

His product Fey is in the S-tier of design and I’ve studied his visual techniques for many years.

Finally, after over a 12 months of pestering he agreed to share his secrets in a interview 🙌

We go deep into:

• Mastering the finer details of craft
• Putting AI at the heart of the new Fey 2.0
• Where Thiago draws inspiration outside of UI
• What it looks like to have a “heightened awareness”
• How Thiago evolved the Fey aesthetic from 1.0 to 2.0
• Specific visual techniques for making your UI more lifelike
• a lot more

• Caravaggio is the painter who Thiago calls the “master of light”
