WE ALL GOTTA GO TOUCH SOME GRASS AND MAKE SOMETHING WITH OUR BARE HANDS.

What a day. Helping with onboarding process design at work, a design & branding coaching session with an open source dev in the afternoon, replying to messages from a client for a side project after dinner, putting my daughter to bed & maybe hangout call with Posts folks later 🤍

How pretty is this yarn?!?! Love the colours so, so much 🤍

Yesterday I got to meet Jessica Hische and see her speak. Omg, no words. She’s such a gem 🤩

I baked a Bluey-themed cake for my daughter’s 4th birthday! It was so much fun to make 🤍

Can’t wait to finally get a haircut today for the first time in 4 years ✌🏼
Bonus: the hairdresser partners with an organisation that builds ocean cleaning filters out of human hair. Mind blown 🤯

What do you think has helped you communicate your projects on a higher, more strategic level? I'm having the issue of being too detailed in my cases, and confusing people! But I struggle to zoom out because I'm worried that a lack of details might cause even more confusion?!

dear posts, does anyone in nyc have a furnished apartment available for sublet during the month of august? asking for two folks (one a creative developer) and their cat displaced by a building fire

While I’m employed (on contract) how can those of us with work support you, if you don’t have work?

I’m not as good with nebulous requests in my personal life, but I want to help. I’m down to do a portfolio review or listen. Don’t go through a hard time alone if you can help it.

My hot take about USA politics right now is that while I appreciate Biden finally stepping aside, it’s also yet another example of women & Black folks having to swoop in to clean up old white men’s messes 😬🙊

This little free web book came out today (could not have arrived at a better time), and it looks amazing.

Build that website you’ve been thinking about.

Making a gingerbread house from scratch when I never in my life made gingerbread? ✅ check.

(Maybe now is the right time to tell y’all that in my 20s I’d entertained the idea of becoming a pastry chef)

I’m 2.5 months into my knitting journey and finally put together enough courage to start knitting socks. This is my very very first sock, first time knitting in the round, first time using magic loop. I’m so proud ✨ 
(Now I gotta knit the second one, lol 🙈🙈🙈)

My fear for the safety and rights of everyone in this dumpster fire country has increased significantly.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Ello people! I wanna look at some portfolios, especially for Lead Product Designers. Please share some of your favourites? I’m especially keen to see how does one balance their work/case-studies & showcase their leadership abilities. Thank youuuu! 🙏🏽✨

I’ve been working on a new freelance project with some former coworkers of mine who are starting a new company. I get to start completely from scratch and do visual and non-visual branding as well as design their new platform and it’s been so exciting and interesting 🤩

Anyone from the Posts community going to Beyond Tellerrand in Berlin in November? Let’s say hi 🤍🤍🤍

If there is a Nuxt developer on my feed or somebody who knows somebody. Please contact me at hi@apek.me - I have a gig for you! And it's super cool.

Yes I’m one of those crazies 🙈
I am so excited about the Eras Tour next week 🤍 and making these bracelets is so fun as a designer because you sort of have set colour schemes to work with. It also brings me back to all the crafty stuff I did in my childhood 🪡🧵🖼️

Many on the east coast have been impacted by Hurricane Helene. We have friends that have lost both their business and home. Keep an eye out for friends and family in need. Help if you can. One option is supporting World Central Kitchen https://wck.org

I feel like I would be so powerful if I was able to work on a normal team at a normally functioning company

My daughter saw the snood I made for myself and asked me to make her one one. Just finished it (in the prettiest pastel colours 🍬)

Thank you @andy and the rest of read.cv team.

It's time to read, learn, and educate. Get involved in your local communities—this is what shapes real change. You can take the day off if you need to. Rest up; we've got work to do these in the next 2-4 years.

I’ve spent my winter break doing absolutely nothing related to work or design and I kinda love it. “Joy of missing out”, forever ✌️

It commemorates European settlers who committed genocide and is a day of mourning to centuries of oppression to Indigenous communities on Turtle Island (US). Rest in power to the 56+ million people who were murdered from: new diseases, warfare, and forced displacement.

Never thought I’d have to stressfully google “how to secure my house from floods” in the middle of the night but hey, apparently we’re at that stage of the climate crisis in Central Europe rn 😥

MERRY FREAKING CHRISTMAS, POSTS FAM 🎄🍪🎅🏽

What is the largest digital design event in Europe?

Been doing a whole lot of quick knitting lately for friends’ Christmas presents, so fun! And I love these colours 💛

Shifting from what’s next to what’s now?

I know many of you are upset today. Let's cheer up each other with great work we have done.

So what is the project you've worked on and you are the most excited about? Please share them here 💛

Took us four days by car with a 4yo and a dog in the back seat but we made it to my bestie’s house in Sweden 🤍

Me, exhausted by the week: I’m going to bed early tonight
Also me: Sure, why not stay up and knit until midnight*

*Our daughter wakes up at 5am, my midnight is your 3am 🙈

Gonna start posting drawings until I can be an illustrator full time and quit my job

Who has been to Toronto and can recommend cheap and authentic things to do? Bonus if it involves noods.

Looking for an assistant again. Main tasks I need help with: email marketing + potential client follow-ups. Budget is $20-$25/hr for up to 10 hours a week max. I’m a solo freelancer, this is the one main thing I need help on. Shoot me a DM if you’re interested! Prefer US-based.

My best friend has a lithography print shop in Sweden in a barn he fixed up and yesterday I did some drawing on a litho stone. Printing today and mega excited to do this! 

(Also very proud of how this turned out considering “I am not good at drawing”) 🤍

I’m very very proud of my first ever heel turn! I’m actually loving knitting socks even thought I was so scared of getting started, but knitting in the round for the first time has been super fun 🤩

Has anyone here ever done an analysis whether they should build a design career in the US vs.EU?

Hello~ I'm currently looking for an illustrator to add the final touch to a landing page I'm making, so if you're interested in working with a team of students from Korea, please get in touch :) You get a blank canvas to work on, and we'll clearly credit your work on the site:

I did some “speed knitting” yesterday and made a cosy sand-coloured snood for a friend. It’s so beautiful I kinda wanna keep it for myself 🙈
