    Design for Developers

    How to fix a Gameboy

    After fixing over 200 faulty Gameboys, Remy thinks the process mostly fits into three categories that's relatively simple, fun and rewarding to bring those 80s and 90s memories back to life.

    Design engineering – from design to engineer

    The web platform is an incredible thing we all have access to. You’re able to create pretty much anything you want (within reason) by opening a browser. It’s just pixels, am I right?
