@eraworlds builds the intelligence layer for physical devices. What they’re working toward is less tangible: A world where technology feels less present in your life. Cotton designed a mark and visual system that that doesn’t just represent the human hand… it literally can’t be made without it. Shifting its gesture and movement across every application, the mark establishes a real human behavior— ushering in a new era for physical worlds.

New York has a new love letter — and you can wear it. 🖤 Introducing our #echo100 silk scarf collaboration with legendary designers Michael Bierut and Talia Cotton, woven with lyrics from Lorenz Hart’s 1925 classic “Manhattan” and the landmarks that make this city unmistakable — Madison Square Garden, the New York Public Library, MoMA, Penn Station, and Grand Central. The typography on the scarf isn’t just decorative — it’s the 92NY wordmark itself, a redesign project led by the designers. And every scarf gives back: $100 from each sale goes directly to support 92NY. Available now for $195. 100 Limited Pieces. Shop at the Link in bio. 🧣 taken in Manhattan, New York by @cottondesigninc

“The output should always be design,” says Talia Cotton (@taliasaccount - Founder, Creative & Technology Director at @cottondesigninc). So why are we treating AI like the output, instead of the tool that gets us there? At D&AD Festival 2026, Talia unpacked bigger questions around AI’s real role in creativity, and whether it should add to our craft, control and creative thinking rather than replace them. She also suggested a new angle on how creatives can lean into the AI era, one that you may not have thought of, and, perhaps most importantly, outlined what actually makes creative work irreplaceable. The full session from the Festival is on YouTube; link in bio to watch. #dandad26 #creativityisalive #aidesign #creativetech #design #craft #advertising by @cottondesigninc

Hosted by @ale.russi and presented by @riccomaresca, @russihive is a creative podcast that explores the real meaning of creativity through intimate conversations with artists, writers, curators, and unconventional thinkers whose lives are shaped by a distinctive practice or obsession. Rooted in Ricco/Maresca’s history of championing self-taught, vernacular, and outsider art, The Russi Huve values instinct, process, and unexpected perspectives over polished experience. The identity fixates around a hive of connected and collage-like hexagons— like roughly cut pieces of paper. We love seeing the podcast take off, and highly recommend a listen! Alejandra is a hostess like no other :) CD @taliasaccount Designer/Technologist @noah.schwad by @cottondesigninc

(Sound on!) Micro-doses of creativity. That’s how @noomalooma is injecting play back into the routine. And as early as this week, NoomaLooma launches its beta in the App Store. (Stay tuned!) Cotton partnered with co-founders @once.upon.a.grid and @pieraluisa to develop the NoomaLooma brand and initial product language for a platform built around small moments of making. The brand is simply: all play. Generative O’s become the central element—popping up, duplicating, bouncing, looping. The logo itself is malleable. On the launch website, users can bend it, stretch it, and mess with it. Imperfect scribbles wander throughout the system. Dragging, moving, and playful interaction are core to the experience. Then there are the Noomies: Playful avatars the community builds through an exquisite-corpse–style builder where users assemble characters from colors, eyes, noses, hair, and accessories—some whistling, some bow-wearing, all a little strange and joyful. Already, the early community has logged 2,000+ creative acts and more than 10,000 minutes spent creating instead of consuming. Congrats to the NoomaLooma team on this milestone—we can’t wait to see where it goes next. Designer/coders @ck.o @min.c03

System organizes the world’s knowledge as one interconnected system. System Health brings that thinking to medicine, revealing the hidden relationships between the many forces that shape health and disease. Cotton was invited to create a generative visual system that could embody this idea. The resulting motif depicts health for what it is: a living network in flux. Biological, behavioral, and environmental factors interact. Forces come in varying degrees. Conditions linger or fade. Dormant drivers reawaken as circumstances change. Symptoms emerge and recede. And trails reveal the shifts over time, showing how one change can trigger another, cascade across the system, or quietly dissipate. Nothing stands alone; everything affects another. The system becomes a dynamic portrait of health itself: complex, interconnected, and always evolving.
