Mosaic — The IMDb for Everyone

Freelancing next week — excited to get back into it. Question…

If I promised to get a tattoo of your brand on my head/face would you be more or less likely to book something with me?

I’m already heavily tattooed but feel it’s time to get some more and thought why not. 😮‍💨

1st interview successful — 3 more to go 🥲

Next up: Presenting 2 case studies to their team.

Boss is making me add 23 fake jobs to our careers page before fundraising so that when investors come across it they have believe that he knows more about the space and what he needs than he really does.

They were all ChatGPT.

Please tell me investors don’t fall for this shit.

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.

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.

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! 🌱🫡

I think it’s time for “Story Time!” very soon so that other people don’t fall into the same trap I have in my current employ. 👀

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 ❤️

I’ve always wondered why designers sometimes dislike their work once they’ve completed it, never happy with the final result, always wanting to change it.

It’s like a magic trick…people are like “wow” but being the magician you know how it was done.

Looking for illustrators, artists, painters, draw-rers for a future project I have going on. This is more organic artistry as opposed to graphic design.

Would love to meet you and offer you work based on your availability! 

@ people below! 👇

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

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!

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.

Update: I voiced my concerns regarding the fake job listings and they no longer want them done!

W!

@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.

Did you know…(just found out myself)

I was being paid from invested money that was for one company whilst being told to build product for another company. The company failed and something tells me the investors don’t know.

…I do like entertaining ya’ll!

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

rare sighting because i did the right thing today — quit the gig, but onto the next!

sometimes i feel as though the people looking for work in tech should all come together and build something of our own…all take equal equity, all volunteer our time, all work towards a mission improving our soft and hard skills as we go.

thoughts?

i wasn’t paid for work i did as a co-founder, so i was given 8 points of the company. i was fine with this.

now that i’m leaving the company they’re making me relinquish my 8 points, which i earned, for co-founding, and putting in years worth of work.

is this normal?

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
