Hello world. This is PLACEMENT. For years, design hiring was part of what we did at @permanent. We helped companies build their teams, met hundreds of brilliant designers, and made a lot of introductions that turned into something meaningful. Along the way, we learned something pretty simple: The best design hiring starts before there’s a job to fill. And it works best when people are actually known, not just “sourced”. Eventually, it stopped making sense to keep that network inside PERMANENT. So we made it its own thing. Too many founders and designers who would be great together never cross paths. PLACEMENT exists so they do. Come say hi at placement.is

Thanks, New York. Dinner brought to you by @permanent. So good seeing everyone, truly a special crowd. Food was good, too.

Some personal news: I joined @permanent earlier this month 🖤 I’ve been following @niclasernst since his Attio days in 2020. Two years ago, he (and @leonguaiana) helped me land my role at V7. One year ago, he launched Permanent. Permanent isn’t just another design subscription studio. It lays the design foundations for the next generation of design-led startups, building not just products, but companies designers want to be part of. At V7, I saw the shift that happens when design takes the lead. Brand, web, keynotes, product, all aligned. So when Niclas pitched me the studio’s vision, I was sold. Excited to be working with incredible designers (and for the first time, I’m not the youngest in the company lol)
