New episode of Currents on the Funsize Show: Good Design vs. Beautiful Design. Anthony Sanchez and Anthony Armendariz explore the complex interplay between aesthetics and functionality in design, examining how beauty, usability, and commercial success intersect across various examples from technology to nature. Discussing things from a mobile game to the unconventional design of the Cybertruck, they underline the tension between aesthetics and functionality, shifting at times to natural phenomena like the Northern Lights and the balance between awe-inspiring visuals and the tendency to overlook everyday wonders.

??? Just dropped! The very first episode of The Funsize Show, our new variety show that spotlights diverse voices in design and shares real-world insights and inspiring stories, is here! In the debut episode of our "New Here" segment, hosted by Anthony Sanchez , Tony chats with his friend Brian Simpson from Small Town Locals about his exciting journey, risk-taking, continuous learning, and finding balance in the ever-evolving world of creative business.
