Hi, I’m Dan Cederholm. I’m a designer, author, speaker, entrepreneur, and dad in real life. SimpleBits® is primarily my tiny type foundry and goods shop.

SimpleBits has been my design studio and hypertext home for over 20 years. Previously, I co-founded Dribbble. I also infrequently write here on the blog, take photos, share short thoughts on design and the universe, and occassionally record a podcast. I’m a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed Captain based in Salem, Massachusetts and quite possibly the world’s worst fisherman.

Twenty Bits I Learned

I started writing little books each year about things I’ve learned on a specific topic. Cloth-bound with mid-century aesthetics and arguably-artistic doodles.

I hosted a podcast called, The SimpleBits Show. It’ll be back real soon.
