An Interview with Tim Van Damme of Instagram
- sharkweek 14y agoFor someone who I would assume is pretty busy, he has a great relaxed vibe; very admirable. I bet it's the bike commuting.
- huhtenberg 14y agoHe was hired very recently, shortly before the acquisition. TVD is one of the "superstar" web designers, frequent speaker at various designer conferences, with a huge following on Dribbble. He himself is notable, but his contributions to Instagram are much less so. [1] http://dribbble.com/maxvoltar http://dribbble.com/maxvoltar
- adamesque 14y agoI'm not so sure about that – since he was hired, most screens and nearly all the Instagram UI icons have been refreshed. He's literally all over the app's UI right now.
- huhtenberg 14y agoCertainly, a refesh. He was not instrumental to defining Instagram as a recognizable product though, that's my point. He's a great designer, but labeling him as "of Instagram" is unfair to both him and Instagram's original designers.
