The Engine: DesignForge
“We didn’t just write a metronome. We forged a design system.”
TempoBlocks is the first consumer product built on DesignForge—our internal study on “Engineering Beauty.” The complex bar wheel visualizer started as an isolated study in the Forge, perfected before it ever reached the iOS app.
