Summer School
A once-in-a-while email newsletter answering your questions about tech, trends, and certain personal and planetary terrors.
Naomi is our in-house culture gremlin. Tucker is the studio's resident tech trend raccoon. We are lifelong students, perpetually learning (and forgetting), who ask each other a lot of questions. For your amusement, we've decided to publish those debates.
- Who named these wifi networks?
- Will anyone be able to read Apple's Liquid Glass notifications?
- What happened to the high five?
Our dispatches are irregular and inconvenient. Most importantly, they are optional.
Recent dispatches
Friction, Bog Fashion & How to Burn Some Cash
A summer dispatch: why friction might be the most fun part of life, making two resumes (one for humans, one for robots), burning your tax return on very small books and Etsy spells, AI logos that look like buttholes, and the bog fashion renaissance.
Cozy Punk, Endless Shrimp & Mypinyp
A spring dispatch: why Artemis II and 'cozy punk' have us hopeful, a new word for when your purple isn't your purple, surviving AI's age of excess (and endless shrimp), a guest photographer on making artifacts instead of content, plus a pile of not-so-terrible links.
Going Dark, Dead Fist Bumps & the Nexus of Perpetual QA
A winter dispatch: surviving the season by going fully dark, a defense of the high five over the fist bump, what school is even for in an AI age, the 'Nexus of Perpetual QA,' a Creative Post gallery wall, and a Dunkin' pop quiz.

We'll answer our favorites in the next dispatch. No spam, no pitches, just questions.
What is Coalesce?
We run a digital product agency based in NYC. We design and build beautiful products. We are fast. We know how to ship stuff. If you're building something (or want to), bring it over. We'll make it real.
