More random thoughts recalling a tough business vs design situation we were in back at DoorDash, and how we overcame it with some creative analogies.

Started coding again to build some Figma plugins for work. The plugin documentation is so much better than it once was!!! Thanks Figma 🖤

Digging the 5x zoom! Also I love Shake Shack so obviously my first stop after the Apple Store this morning 🍔

Been a bit busy with a new project that past few months! Lots of work, but we’re making good progress. Hope everyone has had a good thanksgiving 🖤

Figma variable magic … but how is it done!?!?

Photobombing my own photo. 

Go outside and eat something yummy ☀️😋

Back from vacay, back to home reno. Floor is in! Now for paint and kitchen cabinets 🤞🏻 a little look into where a future daybed reading nook is gonna go

If I’m gonna have to commute every once in a while, might make it at least more fun

Been off the grid with the wife’s fam 🖤

Been taking more photos with my camera this trip and it has been an absolute blast. 

Just a good reminder that sometimes the most unexpected shots end up being your favorite.

Been organizing all my photos from Korea into some kind of Figma archive. Really interested in figuring out how to make a mini coffee table book

Missing the cold weather and sunshine already 🌁

Stepping even further outside my comfort zone, writing is definitely my weakest skill.  I am still working on the formatting, but it has been great practice and am excited to keep it up. Would love any thoughts and feedback!

We got lights 💡 now just need paint 🎨

Good reminder to go out and look at stuff 👍🏻

Hope everyone is having a relaxing time between now and new years. I know theres a lot of side projects to do (there always are!) but take some time to relax and enjoy doing nothing for a bit. It might just be the boost you need going into new year

Some I background on me!

📱📸 I love taking photos with my phone, any photo you see my post is likely just my phone camera and edited in VSCO. I’m usually shooting weekend trips, travel, or just everyday shots of my dog Yomi 🐶.

I think it's fair to say Amsterdam has got the coolest flag design. Love how it gets used across the city on grates, sewer covers, signs etc . A+ branding 🫰🏻

Got outside, looked at stuff. ☀️👍🏻🪻

I love floral (very nature) and pixelart (very digital) combinations.

Another clip of my b-roll compilation from Amsterdam and London back in August!

Got some test prints of pictures I took in Korea to hand around the house. Can’t wait to build some picture frames to match

Had a great offsite with coworkers, new and old, and as much as I love being remote, there’s something magical about hashing out big problems without the feeling like the zoom meeting is ending soon. But maybe just being in line at Smugglers Run also helped..

Had an unreal week an half exploring Europe for a week and a half. My wife may still be mad for making her walk 11 miles a day, but was so worth it

Still thinking about how easy it is to walk and bike around in 🇩🇰🇳🇱. It was a city explorers dream.

I will say though... it's very inaccessible. No ramps, uneven streets and sidewalks. Super tight stairways and no handrails.

There's got to be a way to do both 🤔

Been playing around with some ideas for the Posts App Icon, and had this thought this morning 😂

Back in 🇺🇸. Definitely the longest I’ve been away from home, and while it was a bit tiring some days, seeing family, being open to new experiences and just going with the flow is worth it every time. 

Back with a new appreciation for still photography was unexpected!!

Side project: been working on renovating our dream home. Been about 4 months of construction, but slowly taking shape. 

Always fun to try out new types of design (although my wife is an interior designer so I’m kinda cheating)

Combating Sunday scaries, one 곰탕 at a time

Do you have a work setup at home you love or wish could be better?

Maybe you enjoy photography or music production that requires specific gear and tech that can seem overwhelming. If you’d like, message me about what you want from your setup! I love gear and desk design!

Denmark is prettyyyyyyy awesome. 🖤🇩🇰🚲🥐

And I’ve only been here a couple hours 😅

I gave into the guilt of not doing anything over the holidays, and decided to take a crack at my portfolio again after 10 years. I quickly got overwhelmed, but at least it's a start. https://benbendesigner.github.io

It’s finally flooring day. Honestly the most stressed I’ve been on this project, but the guys are killin it

A dramatic Yomi pose. Hope y’all have a good Monday 🖤

As previously mentioned, this is the floppiest boy,Yomi 🖤🧡

Just some sketches from the cutting room floor

Had fun shooting with an anamorphic lens while in Europe! Put together some b-roll here  https://youtu.be/NIc4SHMXZTo?si=u5IlS0Yz9VoqQAm-

My unfinished worksetup. Waiting for the upstairs to be done so we can start renovating downstairs! (Hint hint that slate tile in the bottom left)

Yomi included 🐶

New app logo is 🤌🏻 super minimal and clean, awesome job 💯
