Sean Heber of Iconfactory brings the harsh realities of maintaining steady design work in the era of AI dominance.
I am sorry to read about the challenges Iconfactory is facing. The first product I worked on after I got into software development used icons created by the studio. Their Twitter client, Twitterrific was what lured me to join that network years ago. I love their design sensibilities and the level of craft they bring to their work.
My favorite Iconfactory project has to be the artwork for the iOS version of Carcassonne. I was so sad when that app ceased development. It was truly a cut above.
