Hey, I'm Janey—Welcome to my work!

Can someone tell me what’s so special about this book?

I’ve never been to a design conference and I don’t plan on going to one anytime soon. They’ve always felt so ego driven and cliquey to me.

Do you go to design conferences? Why or why not?

It's quite interesting how varied a salary for an Art Director is. Some places rank an AD higher than a senior designer role, some rank it the same as a senior role, and some rank it like an entry level role.

Just wanna give the Read.cv team a massive shout because even a year after launch, this place still feels like the café in the city center they envisioned.

What’s the difference between Are.na and Cosmos? 🫥

I’m looking for full-time or contract to FTE opportunities as a Writer, Content Strategist, Content Designer, or Content Marketer. I’ve been in multiple industries with a focus on tech and enjoy working alongside eng and dev.

I’d love to find my next team on readcv! ✨

I’ve a job available for a junior who wants a few days work next week. We’re moving a client’s spec sheets to Wordpress.
Task: Wordpress ‘data entry’ in an established template. Not exciting but is paid. 
Us: a design studio. 
Client: Laboratory equipment.
DM me if interested.

I am once again asking y'all to link me some freelancers who are absolutely killing it AND they are POC. Bonus points if they are running their own studio or agency. Would love to reach out to them and ask them some questions.

Forget AI hardware. I’m waiting for some startup to make MP3 players cool again.

In my new personal brand era. Hope to share more soon 👀

Spending these next few weeks to focus on my new personal branding, working on site updates + new case studies, and prioritizing my happiness.

While I’m grateful to be employed, I’m still trying to figure out what’s next for me.

CAN THE WORLD JUST SIT STILL FOR A MINUTE? PLEASE.

Been going to the library every Saturday to work on my stuff and it’s something I genuinely look forward to. Libraries are just full of people…existing. No fluff. Just everyone in their own world.

“Designers should care about the ethical responsibility and social impact of our occupation,” says the product designer at…(checks bio)...Facebook.

This is your reminder that it’s OK to go the therapy.

After waiting ~11 months, my Chimera has finally arrived and I’m SO excited to build this thing!

I still want someone to look at my site and give me some feedback on my case studies.

Why does everyone

I am 100% changing my profile pic soon. I needed something for the time being, but I'm not a fan of the "I'm a serious person. I am changing the world" look some of us creatives use for headshots. 

Even surgeons show more emotion, and they're actually saving lives.

The easiest way I can tell if you're a tourist or not in NYC is how you order Chipotle during the lunch rush.

For those who struggle during interviews, what helps me the most is to remember that you're also interviewing THEM. Push back, ask some relevant hard questions, and get a feel for who you might be working for/with. You're more in control than you think.

With Linkedin down, now I can finally go back to applying to jobs in person with my manila folder of applications printed from Staples.

What is one thing you're really proud of right now?

Heading to Vermont for 10 days as a little solo trip so I can reset.

Everyone on here should stop what they’re doing and go watch Dune: Part Two

@andy what are the recommended dimensions for writing thumbnails?

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

I need some inspo on how you layout your projects on your site. 

I know a true and trusted simple grid does the job, but I want to push the limits a bit and figure out how I can make it a bit more engaging while scrolling and browsing through my work on my homepage.

To all my peeps who are looking for work elsewhere, or were unfortunately laid off - let's start a new agency. The name? Pink Slip.

Taking lead on accessibility at my current place has opened up a whole new realization that so much of the internet and digital products today disregard these guidelines completely. 1 in 6 people have some form of disability. 1 in 6.

The incompleteness of the Humane AI Pin really just shows that being "ex-Apple" or "ex-whatever-tech-company" can only go so far. I think it's totally fair to want to work for companies just for the name on the resume and experience, but don't make it your identity.
