Today marks 10 years since I started doing independent design work. Last year I made a decision: I’m not going back. I needed a new, sturdier home for my design practice, for the next decade and beyond. I’d like to introduce you to it now: please meet Twohy Design Works.

Some background: personally, I've never been motivated to scale up, or start an agency. I believe in the power of a close, personal relationship with clients and clarity of a singular creative vision. That’s what works for me, and I think there’s a special magic in staying small.

But: my design practice has evolved over the past decade. I’m taking on branding alongside product design, and recently I've been tiptoeing into other areas as well. I wanted an identity that could evolve along with me – providing a consistent home and continuity for the work.

Also: TDW isn't an agency, but it is bigger than me. I typically have two associate designers helping me move faster, be more flexible, and expand my capabilities – making it possible to pull things off that most agencies won’t, most freelancers can’t, and I could never do alone.

I've been working on this evolution for almost two years, and today I'm filled with a sense of excitement and optimism about the future. Thank you for joining me. I wrote a bit more on my new website – you can read more here:

1 year ago today, I launched my design agency (Finite Supply) with just a tweet. I had nothing lined up, and it was the first time I’d ever fully worked for myself. I want to start by thanking all my clients who have been such a joy to work with. I specifically want to thank: Fedi, OCEAN, Satoshi Nakamoto Institute, HRF, Opennode, and Bull Bitcoin for taking a chance on me as I was just starting out. Here’s a recap of our first year: - We had 22 clients (all bitcoiners). Wallets, exchanges, mining companies, foundations, an institute, multiple saas companies, a merch company, a bitcoin treasury company, a think tank, a financial institution, and an AI company. - Project types: 15 branding, 10 product design, 7 web design, 3 merch, 4 graphic design, and 2 presentations - 11 clients paid in BTC, 11 clients paid in USD, and 2 companies paid in equity. - I greatly exceeded my 20k/month income goal for all 12 months. - The FiniteSupply .co shop shipped out over 200 hats and dialed in production & shipping operations. Upon reflection, we really excelled at: - Creative Direction (being a seasoned “design mind” for founders and teams with little design expertise) - Branding (creating foundational brand identities and guides for new companies/organizations) - Web design (designing and developing websites) - Fractional product design (partnering with teams to design mobile / web apps) Early on I struggled with: - Saying YES to too much work out of fear of the unknown. - Not delegating enough work out. - Not posting enough work on social media. Some things that have worked for the business: - Posting thoughts on the intersection of design and bitcoin - Posting existing work always leads to more work - Fractional design services have been easy and effective for businesses to accept - Accepting and holding bitcoin has fortified the business bigly Some goals for this year (hold me to these!): - Post more to showcase more work, share design knowledge, and connect with potential clients. - Create even cooler hats & products for the Finite Supply shop. - Increase the percentage of bitcoin payments. - Build a product that leverages ai to boost efficiency for American workers who build real things. Thank you for reading, I hope you’ve enjoyed my annual report. The last year was incredibly blessed and I’m so grateful. I'm so proud of all the work we accomplished. If you’re thinking about starting your own thing, quit your job and do it. If you need design, send me a DM. Let’s connect. Last but not least, Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day! – Skyler
