floguo · x · 2026-09-18
Notes from Valiocon day 2: Will Lenzen on story as the foundation of brand and products; aibek's Valio Rumble demo showing that deciding what to build took 3 days while polishing takes 2 hours; David Stoddard on leveraging networks; Anders Drage on designing a custom watch for military users and Erling Haaland, with the lesson that taste grows ahead of craft. Lunch demos included a Midjourney workflow, works-in-progress (SF apartment model, photo album), a digital loom with custom fabric textures, and the story behind the Ramp arcade game.
