When youâve spent countless hours researching a project and put the finishing touches on a design, where does all that hard work go? Obviously, thereâs some shiny new branding and packaging to show for it, but the journeyâand all the knowledge you picked up along the wayâgets filed away somewhere in your brain, possibly to be pulled out for later use by yourself or maybe your coworkers.
Rather than mentally catalog that information, Sandro Kvernmo wanted to file it somewhere that’s accessible to everyone. So Sandro, Founder and Creative Director at Norway-based design agency Goods, decided to start the Goods Index.
âIt started as our own wiki in a way,â Sandro said. âWeâve been gathering this information from so many corners of the field. If we had to take down the company tomorrow and pass on information to another company, this is how we would document our work.â
