The moon is rising here in London. And so at last, under the light of the full moon, the project that I wrote to you about a few days ago has arrived.
It’s a collaboration with the brilliant Mark Curtis, co-founder of Fjord. And it’s called Full Moon.
Mark and I have each spent years exploring — from different angles — a world changing fast around us. Full Moon is the culmination of all that. We’re creating a space for deep thinking at the intersection of humans, technology, and business.
It’s for designers, marketers, strategists, and creative professionals. Founders, consultants, and knowledge workers of many varieties. Anyone who needs to keep pace with changing consumers and clients, and build work — product, service, campaign — that makes an impact. Anyone seeking to forge their own path through the rapidly changing world of knowledge work.
It will be anchored around a deep dive essay published every month on the night of the full moon. We launch today by publishing our first: Part I: Where Is Design Heading?
In this piece, Mark draws on 30 years of experience in digital design to ponder the future of design in an AI age. His core message? Yes, lots will change. But feeling, relevance and human consequence matter more than ever.
This essay is deep, mind-expanding, and practical. I can’t wait for you to read it. And you can do so for free; just dive in.
Part II — where Mark explores what happens next — arrives for paid members in early January, at the first full moon of 2026.
From here, Full Moon becomes a home for unfiltered thinking from me and Mark. A research service on trends, technology, business and creativity. A place to think with others who care about where all of this is heading.
Paid subscribers will get the monthly deep-dive essay, a monthly podcast, regular video Q&As with me and Mark, shorter Ideas, and early access to future in-person events.
And one last thing...
When you become a member, you can give someone aged 28 or under a free year’s membership — extending the conversation to those who’ll shape what comes next. Now more than ever, we think that’s important.
A big lunar adventure lies ahead. I hope you’ll join us. See you by the light of the moon,
David.
P.S yes, this newsletter will remain active! But for my deepest thinking — and Mark’s — at the intersection of technology, business, and creativity, Full Moon is the place.
The whole concept of the full moon is wonderful. Deep thinking ahead.
