How interesting, thank you for introducing me to this platform! Lots of interesting decision were made with great intentions. Love this interview format, well done, looking forward to more :)
Fantastic read. As a creative dodging burnout who recently started using Cosmos, my intentionality behind research has begun to sharpen again and I actually look forward to mood boarding now.
Incredible conversation. The questions were so sharp and so needed at this moment. I usually never read through interviews but I couldn’t put this one down!
What stands out to me is that this isn’t about originality, but more like infrastructure for world-building. One that’s shaped by what you choose to absorb, and how consistently you translate that into something recognizable over time. Loved the interview! And love Cosmos, such a breath of fresh air!
Amazing interview, thanks so much Zoë! Highlighted so many quotes that may be about Cosmos, but are actually so relevant outside of that context, too.
"Human visual intelligence is relational. A photographer deciding what angle to shoot, a designer choosing a reference — those are acts of judgment that come from a specific life, a specific set of obsessions, a specific emotion. The image is the output. The point of view, the backstory, the desire is what feeds that." - to me this is such an elegant way to explain 'taste' both as an internal framework and a process that shapes output, and it's so useful to me as a lense to look at brand world-building.
Incredible read, thank you Zoë and Andy! So important to have platforms and people that expand and deepen our research and creative process beyond "credit: Pinterest". I’ve really been making an effort to go deeper rather than wider with my references recently, and it's been so interesting and sometimes inspiring in unexpected ways.
