Jenny Fan shared thisI make products and also butterJenny Fan shared thisIntroducing our latest and most mouthwatering product to date: Ramp's Ramp Recipes 🌱 ICYMI our team recently invited all of Flatiron NYC to forage for ramp season, but we ordered an extra 6 pounds of fresh ramps from our friends at Regalis Foods, so we sent them home with some of our in-house chefs! Enjoy this mini cookbook from our very own Regina Molina, Alexander Tolani, Teddy Riker, Jeffrey Zhou, Armmand Hosseini, Jenny Fan, and Joyce Tsai 🤌 And s/o to Evan Azher for hand-drawing the artwork!

Jenny Fan reposted thisJenny Fan reposted thisWe're a few iterations in at Ramp on helping finance teams trust external agents with money, bank accounts, and real autonomy. To make this work, we model agents as acting "on behalf of" users—with attribution, scoped access, and a lifecycle designed to be safer for non-engineers to use. Steve + Rachel shared some patterns today: check the blog! — Rachel, Stanislav, and Eli (via Opencode) (+ props to Teddy, Junho, Leo, Alex, Jenny and the team!)

Jenny Fan reposted thisJenny Fan reposted this🚀 Big news today for public AI! Today marks the launch of Apertus 🏔️ , Switzerland’s first large-scale, fully open, multilingual language model—built by EPFL, ETH Zürich, and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre CSCS. Already competitive with leading open models in its class (8B and 70B), Apertus is a milestone for open, public, and sovereign AI. We’re proud that the Public AI Inference Utility is the official international deployment partner—bringing Apertus online for the world to use. And we’re grateful for the inference partners without whom this would not be possible: especially Amazon Web Services (AWS), Exoscale, AI Singapore, CUDO Compute, and the National Computational Infrastructure of Australia.

Jenny Fan shared this"Change is a call to adventure." Excited to be hosting a career/life coaching workshop with Trampoline (Elaine Truong & Kwok Jia Chuan) tonight that cuts through the BS and encourages radical self-inquiry. It feels fully appropriate that the synthesis of my year-long sabbatical is a powerpoint presentation about philosophy and fun books I've read. Stop by if you're in NYC!

Jenny Fan shared thisVery grateful to be featured by Lovers Magazine (and have my web 1.0 nostalgia publicly known) 🤗Jenny Fan shared this“I will always think fondly of the pre-templated, maximalist web of possibility, full of marquee text and glittery cursors.” ✨ New interview today with Jenny Fan, product & digital designer at Palantir Technologies ⭐️ "Like many digital designers, my journey into design originated from a childhood love of art and fascination of being able to use technology to craft entirely new worlds. I may sound like a dinosaur now, but the online communities of Web 1.0 (and the tools used to build it) were such a rich and fertile ground for free play and experimentation."

It was so fun to meet everyone irl 💞 + a huge thank you to the Clay team: Nefaur Khandker, Johanna P., & Cara (Whimsy) Silverman for collaborating with us! Should we rerun this in NYC 👀?

Jenny Fan liked thisJenny Fan liked thisI'm hosting an AI Creative Direction Masterclass on July 14 — free for creatives In the past year, generating beautiful AI visuals has become common. What will make your practice future-proof is creative direction — the conceptual idea, visual language, and the ability to direct AI to tell a story that resonates across image + video. I'll cover the decisions that happen before you open a tool, and how that direction carries through the entire workflow to final delivery. I'll be using my own work to show the process. If you're a creative director, art director, designer or a photographer / filmmaker / artist wanting a stronger creative practice with AI — I'd love to have you there. Capacity is limited. Access by application. Comment MASTERCLASS and I’ll send you the link. #CreativeDirection #ArtDirection #AIeducation #HumanDirected

Jenny Fan liked thisJenny Fan liked thisHappy Father's Day to all the dads out there. Becoming a dad to Rahi last year changed everything. It's not always easy. If we work together, you might get emails at odd hours because I work around her morning and bedtime schedules. What people say about becoming a parent creating purpose and clarity is all true. And there's so much more. She says hi to strangers on the subway. I rediscover curiosity when I see the world through her eyes. I wouldn't trade this for anything.

The TrustPay Case Study 🚀 Designing for trust means designing for people. That’s what TrustPay reminded me of: that even the simplest transaction is built on confidence, clarity, and accessibility. Design Impact Through a combination of embedded payments, QR, and USSD pathways, TrustPay bridges financial inclusion across user types; from digital-savvy customers to offline communities. The final design doesn’t just simplify payments; it empowers trust and reliability in every interaction. Next Steps The next phase will focus on front-end development, user testing, and refining the experience based on real feedback. Our goal is to ensure the product not only looks good but works intuitively across devices and contexts, especially in low-connectivity environments.
