Hello, I'm Matthew Encina. I'm a creative director, designer, and educator. I create content about living by design, and I share how that manifests in different parts of my life- home, work, and habits.

I’m a Filipino-American, born and raised in Los Angeles, and I've been a creative professional for over 20 years- directing, designing, and telling stories for some pretty awesome clients. I love to rock climb, breakdance, play video games, drink coffee, and nerd out on mechanical keyboards and comic books.

    I love how you guys use the card board models, is there like a term for those in the product world. Also how would you apply this to like making possibly furniture.

    I think they're just called "cardboard mockups/models"? But you can use any material to help you sketch/prototype ideas. I know the folks over at Bludot also use cardboard to create mini models of their furniture as well.

    Hi, thanks for sharing your experience! TL;DR: You improved Encore with team feedback, but more important is: User Feedback! Steve Jobs starts with the customer /user experience & goes back to the product. The product can never be as ergonomic or satisfying as it looks, if the process does not involve "user testing" or ask for "user preferences". eg: Find people desiring wooden keyboards, interview them .. prototype, test .. iterate. That's why every startup advice is almost the same: "Talk to your users early", "Know what people would pay for". Again, thanks for sharing!

    @MatthewEncina9 сағат бұрын

    Totally. That's why I spent three years in the hobby, learning about the preferences of others and my own, before designing this board. The anecdotes from that study were very helpful for connecting the dots on this project. Moving forward, I'll now have the keyboard in real users' hands for additional feedback for future iterations or products.

    Hey Matthew, great video. Not sure if you'll see this, but I like on you panned the camera to show your computer screen. This this helpful for things like showing Notion or other software in use. What tips do you have to make those videos more interesting than simply recording the screen?

    Thanks. Two ways off the top of my head: 1. Cut away to b-roll that shows the results of what you're doing. 2. Use animation to give more emphasis and visual stimulation.

    Good work. But many of you product designers should understand the impact of the product you design to sell by analyzing how effective it is, how healthy it is for our environment, how useful it is, and why it is so unique to other products? Also, product designers should understand the power of competition.

    Your video serves as a great piece of inspiration for me, someone who wants to move into the product design field to help to bridge the gap between engineering and artistic design. Studying for my AB interdisciplinary engineering degree I hope to share this video with others to give them some insight into this somewhat niche field which I feel is not explored enough in academia. Amazing content, you're hugely inspirational.

    You mention drawing as a communication skill at about 17:30. Any suggestions on resources for the artistically challenged on learning some basic sketching techniques for product design?

    I looked up “car design sketching” and “industrial design sketching” on KZread. There are a lot of good resources that pop up under there that teach you how to warm up, construct shapes, build detail, then render them out. I’m still working through the first 3 and haven’t gotten to rendering yet.
