I was laid off back in May 2023 and still struggling to land something. Anyone hiring?

happy diwali everyone!
please refrain from burning (a lot of) crackers and (to guys especially) wearing those sparkly kurtas.

I’ve collected a few notes about creating demos of my prototypes. Recently, I’ve received a lot of questions about my filming process, so I’ve decided to share these notes with you ✨

Looks can be deceiving. Good on the outside dry on the inside. Great UI but terrible UX.

would people on here be willing to critique my portfolio? am currently job hunting as a new grad with no luck, any help is much appreciated ♡

Hey all! Just launched my first product on ProductHunt! 
Super exciting new milestone!

come join me and @gee_lingam @adam.b this friday at 4pm EST to work on a personal project for 2 weeks alongside each other!!!

latest portrait, took around an hour to sketch out!

A few months shy of my second year as a freelancer, and I have ✨finally✨ launched my new brand and website 

Check me out here -> www.mgertenbach.com

That debate was a crunchy roll…served spicy!!

microgrants for young founders: cactuscapital.org

Telling a founder to focus on PMF is like telling a starving man “hey you just need to eat something.’

I am putting a small conference together and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for brands/designers that would be willing to donate products for prizes. We will be doing fun games between speakers and would love to up the anti with small prizes.

The not so insta perfect pic. I am messy but that’s just me.

sometimes the best user interface is one that's deep fried and coated in sugar

When was the last time you made things that made you super happy?

Probably when i made donuts for the first time

Kicked off Launch Club first sprint with @robertf @chow @krystalskafe @adam.b good vibes…great ideas…small steps.

Redesigned a book cover for a book I was reading.

2 decades ago I found Shalimar in San Francisco Tenderloin. Still one of my favorite late night spot for some great Pakistani food. An institution!! #friscowithlove

Empathy: even though you are not super excited about that neighborhood garage sale, you do it because the people you love care and are excited about it :) Small gesture, makes a big difference

Any Posts folks design for critical systems (ie aviation, defence, space, energy...)? Please pass on any learning resources!!!

Created a minimalistic blog for riliz.co using riliz.co 🥲
Feels so good to be writing after so many years.

Here’s a taste of a landing page I mocked up for @gee_lingam and I’s latest endeavor!

Launch Club!
Check us out at launchclub.framer.website and maybe even join our first sprint! 

Let’s build something! 😎 🚀

If you’re in the US, you should pay attention to the NPD data breach, which is the largest PII data breach ever in the US- it’s all on the dark web now…so get a credit alert setup, even if you have shit credit!

Launch Club's first sprint kicked off yesterday and very happy to have met @gee_lingam  @chow @krystalskafe and @adam.b – so many interesting and cool projects. Great energy. Reminds me of being in clubs at school.

Hosting a small coffee get together very other Sunday in SF. We’ve done 5 of these and it’s been a ton of fun so far https://lu.ma/p5kvtjj5

Soooo I'm doing this Name Your Price Landing Pages for early-stage bootstrapped B2B startups in Texas.
