Nothing community what is up! Great to be here and even better see all of you here!

I am a senior software product designer at Nothing based in the London HQ. I am from Hong Kong originally, but have been studying and working in the UK since 2003. I have worked on a lot of different things, from banking apps to national security platforms and many others.

I joined Nothing for the same reason why a lot of your have invested: the vision to make technology feels like nothing. As a designer I know how easy it is build something new and shiny; it is not easy to obsess over the smallest of details to design a truly intuitive and delightful user experience. It is easier said then done, but I am very fortunate to join a company and a team to think the same way.

Name a piece of technology that dropped your jaw: Dyson handheld vacuum cleaners. It turns something everyone hates to do into a delightful experience. The satisfaction of seeing the dirt being collected by the transparent cylinder - magical.

What’s your favourite movie quote, or lyric from a song: “Yippee ki yay, ____________” Bruce Willis from Die Hard. Sorry I could have come up with something a bit more sophisticated, but this is just so classic and epic!

Post a picture of your spirit gadget: probably this thing if it is truly smokeless

I’ll be making some awesome stuff for you folks with the amazing team here. And we will need your help please. So stay tuned!

Namaste Everyone!

I am Sayan, based in Calcutta(India), the city of joy. I am currently pursuing Chartered Accountancy Course and my graduation is about to complete in next couple of months.

Faith and conviction in @Carl and his love for start-ups brought me to Nothing and eventually investing in it. I am here to witness the rise of possibly the next big thing in Tech, It’ll be fascinating to experience Nothing instilling much-needed purpose in Tech, which is missing for quite a long time. Let’s embark on a community-driven approach and revolutionise the Tech Space with a new spirit. All the best!

Tech that I resonated the most with would be the iPad. It enabled my creativity with a sense of purpose.

The Phrase which has stirred me, myself, and I to stay differentiated (Excerpts from “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost)-

          "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-

           I took the one less traveled by,

           And that has made all the difference"

My spirit gadget would be an iPad. I have some unconditional love for the first generation of products, the device that teleported my 14 Year old self to cloud nine: iPad Mini (Gen1)

I hope everyone is doing well. It was good to meet you all. Excited to re-think tech with Nothing. Cheers!

        Hi everyone - I’m Melissa, Senior Manager of Global PR for Nothing 😄

        I’m a Canadian living in London UK with my dog Oli and partner Matt. Nothing’s vision for the future of technology is super inspiring and something I wanted to be a part of, like all of you!

        My spirit gadget is a Super Nintendo - playful and no fuss, but mainly because I was genuinely obsessed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and I’ll never say “No” to pizza.

        Hey everyone! My name is Gabriel, and I’m from south east London. I used to be a big fan of OnePlus (though I lapsed after the OP3) and was intrigued when Carl announced he was leaving. I’ve been eager to see what comes next, and be a part of that journey. I think even though OnePlus isn’t what it once was, the ideas that began it all were bold and amazing, and I’m hyped to see where Nothing goes.

        My favourite piece of tech was that Nokia phone they marketed off the back of The Matrix. It was so cool, just because it had a slidey bit at the push of a button. We had no idea what was around the corner in 199, we just knew that badasses in long coats wearing shades and doing bullet time martial arts had these phones, and that made them cool. 😅

          Hey Everyone. I’m James, an Industrial Designer based in Bournemouth, UK.

          Big pioneering tech fan, and a bit of a TE fanboy, with my favourite piece of product design being the OP1 - so pretty keen to see what Tom and the team come up with.

          Personal tech has stagnated, it’s time for Nothing!

          Cheers guys! 🍻

          Namaste to all! (With folded hands)

          I am from India! I am an adventure sports enthusiast (big time). I have worked with the OnePlus India team in their community-building especially the Students’ community. Also, have been a part of OnePlus global Accessory testers and closed beta testers.

          Why I LOVE Nothing? Well, it started with personally interacting with @Carl during one of the launch events in New Delhi, India. I admire his vision for tech and candidness with everyone. So I always made sure to learn as much as I could from him and keep contributing in any way possible. After OnePlus, I have got this opportunity with Nothing to bring a change in the tech and consumer lifestyle.

          Well, my first phone(not a smart one, but a great one), Nokia ExpressMusic 5130 was a delight to use at that time.

          There are a lot of movie quotes I like but this is a special one:
          "Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.” -Dead Poets Society, 1989

          Cheers everyone! To Nothing! 🥂
