Helpful job-search hack I just discovered.

The Ollama saga continues. 60% of mini project done

I hate NDAs. Designers have to be silent for most of their tenure at a company. When they leave, they have to sneak their work out for their portfolio or they’ll have nothing to show employers.

was at my first networking event in almost a year! super casual, how it should be

career update! ended my 2 years at www.globalnews.ca on friday, leading design throughout our entire website. launched a lot of my best work here! obviously you can tell there was never a dull moment.

guess cat's out of the bag - gave my 2 weeks notice on friday! will announce my next career move at the end of this month.

I desperately want to expand my vocabulary. I want to know words like "maladroit", "ostensibly", "gawking", "acuity", "colloquially", "banal", or "maxim" and how to use them.

normalize going to concerts and shows by yourself

It’s CRAZY how much good weather can uplift your mood.

Two unrelated events — the birth of someone’s baby close to me and a site that generates random ugly avatars — led me to rethink the exposure to which I submit, almost always voluntarily, on the internet.
