Mosaic — The IMDb for Everyone

1st interview successful — 3 more to go 🥲

Next up: Presenting 2 case studies to their team.

Designers.

If you’ve got a new project or a new feature it’s part of the design process to spend a day just thinking. No Figma, no inspo sites, just thought.

Yes it’s another bento. Fun fact: Mosaic is an active partner of the Creators Guild of America and will be accreditation platform they use to onboard, promote, and award creators.

Billion dollar idea:

Produce bottled water and target it towards people with hangovers.

Call it Thirst Aid.

normalize ugly beta’s and then making them look sexy afterwards. user feedback helps.

I spend money for Posts than I do for X. 

Loveeeee thatttttt. 😮‍💨

Designers who have amazing sites, personal designs, and market themselves well but show dog**** company work because the non-designers in those companies clearly prevailed in their thinking. It’s worse when a companies primary user is creative.

Build for users, not investors.

Not all images are equal so why do we make them fill the container. Lay as you fall, image! 🥲

Today was my last day at my employed gig. Tomorrow is a new day! Time to start utilizing this platform properly and find the next opportunity! 🌱🫡

Can you find technical co-founders on Posts? 👀

One umbrella company, multiple businesses, one design system.

anyone had experience with workshop interviews, where you have to lead a the team you’re potentially going to work with from problem to solution in 1.5 hours?

let me know what they’re like ❤️

Future development will make it easy for Mosaic users to find the teams, and individuals behind brand work. Think about every milestone you’ve accomplished or new feature — now it can be found.

Question of the day:

What color/hex is superior when it comes to body text, that is gray, and is strictly light mode?

Interview for Product Designer at a company solving problems very close to my heart on Monday — wish me luck 🍀 ❤️

Any tips?

Establishing a product design portfolio is truly the hardest challenge i’ve ever faced.

What’s the go-to stack nowadays for MVPs? I would like to pursue lesser known apps for outreach, data capture, emails, polling, presentation software, etc.

New Creators Guild of America site dropping next week…

Who’s a kickass developer looking for an equity gig and the chance to build big products in blockchain, payments, and the creator economy?

Still in love with macro.io after all this time. It still looks sexy as hell.

Realisation is progress — nothing better than spending an entire day just thinking about a problem before designing for it.

Someone: Can you send me the deck?
Someone else: Yeah sure I’ll email it to you after the meeting.



Whyyyyyyyyyyy

Aimé Leon Dore’s aesthetic is all the creative inspiration you’re ever gonna need.

I usually spend way too much time overthinking, making myself feel like I’m making important progress, and never letting anyone see my personal projects.

This Sunday I gave myself 24 hours.

If you interested in working together on something cool…say hello!

broom.live

it’s not big eats small but rather fast beats slow.

Someone: So who’s going to be our Community Chair?
Someone else: Should we vote on it?



Yessssssssss

Broom will do to Meet what Figma did to Adobe.

One of my all time favorite logos, Teenage Engineering.

almost threw up on the presentation call — second stage complete!

Usually leave September free because it’s birthday month but I’ll be available for a med/large project. 

If you need a product designed from 0-1 in either the payments, e-commerce, or hospitality space let me know. (DS, UI/UX and all the bells and whistles included).

The mark if Mosaic ever joined forces with Family to create a place for creator work to exist on the blockchain, with the ability to sell creative rights as non-fungibles. Who’s got contacts? 👀

It’s a checkout day and some emails before a relaxing Friday night off.

@dexter doing gods work today. Thanks for finding and reporting bugs ❤️ Go sign up and be like Dexter!

Cleaning the Figma file after the juniors have been working the next day.

Calling all employed creators, designers, developers, and the million other roles:

What single project that you completed at work, or was a part of are you most proud of? 

I’d like to showcase all of you on our new website!

Apparently I have to be media trained before I talk to journalists. Is that them saying I need to learn how to obscure the truth?

we need a running list of toxic designers because i have a few people i’d like to add after today. anyone building this? lol

Some work for a payments infrastructure company building checkouts for brands that allow their customers to also sell their products for them — and make instant cash every sale!

“Sorry I know it’s late but we can’t access the Figma”.

Post-launch updates to Mosaic will be new features,  and more attractive UI in some areas. Currently playing around with user images and how we can move away from being authentication forward and more helpful with your creative work:

A design subscription studio but a twist:

Only have three clients at a time
Only work on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday
Client owns one of those days every week
Client gets a total of 32-40 hours per month

Calling it days.wtf
