WE ALL GOTTA GO TOUCH SOME GRASS AND MAKE SOMETHING WITH OUR BARE HANDS.

A promise I told myself when I open my own studio/agency is that I will not be bootlicking companies for a check or recognition. I desperately want to shift toxic agency culture and outdated norms, especially the idolization of agencies and design leaders, for the better.

New coffee beans who dis. 

Shouts out to @jonhargreaves Coffee Club for putting me on new flavors and checking out new coffee spots!

Barely into this week and already feeling cooked. 

Craving solitude.

How tf do y'all organize your fonts? I thought I was gonna be a Font Book stan, but it's starting to feel cumbersome for me. Any reccos?

Less social networks, more social gatherings.

If I could freeze a specific time of day, it’d be right around here.

If I got a dollar for every startup or tech company that claims they know the answer of how AI is going to be used in our lives, I'd have enough money to start my own company that claims to know the answer of how AI is going to be used in our lives.

New project on Contra! 🎉
Duration: 2 months, includes brand, product, art direction & developer hand-off!

Just an average night of me browsing the free section on Craigslist

My wife is out of town for the weekend, which means I can go to bed and wake up peacefully without my blanket coverage being stolen for the next couple of nights 🥲

Officially going back to Japan in the summer the day after my 30th to celebrate for a week 🍙

A 20%+ price increase is crazy no matter who you are.

Yes, I wrote this. Yes, I'm serious. Yes, I am proud. 🇺🇸 🧀

Next weeks (unofficial) virtual Posts hang will be hosted by ME, served with a side of good vibes and discussion topics that I will be bringing to help spark some thought and good conversation.

PULL UP. Will drop the link and deets on Monday 🫡

My New Year’s resolution is no more New Year resolutions.

POSTS HANG #4 WAS A SUCCESS. From finding inspiration outside of your digital life, to discussing your industry ick - THANK YOU ALL who showed up. Great conversation, and the last 20-25 minutes specifically was incredibly insightful convo that was so refreshing to talk about!

Being off IG and Twitter allows me to be so behind on any tech or design drama AND I LOVE IT. I actually have to go out of my way to search for it or randomly come across it in other channels to be made aware and ITS AMAZING to be disconnected from it all.

I’ve been unemployed since Jan 2023 & actively looking for a Senior UX/Product Designer with full-time opportunities in healthcare, biotech, or ed-tech. Appreciate it if you can share my portfolio or buy me a coffee. Thank you.💛

I am officially the lightest I've been since October of 2019, over FIVE (WTF?!) years ago. Just tried on some older shirts I've had which were a size too big, and they now fit! Legit the healthiest and most confident I've felt in years.

@pedropeguerojr is gonna host next week’s hang!!!! It’ll be election week in thr US so we’ll be here for support regardless of what happens. 

Thanks for showing up!

Felt a bit like summer tonight in Brooklyn

How I picture design course bros on their death bed

Going to start populating my read.cv profile with projects starting this Friday so that I can give Sites a proper go! If I ultimately decide to not stick with Sites, on the flip I will have all of my updated project imagery/mocks that I can use elsewhere! It's a win/win 🥲

Picked these up over the weekend and I’m glad I did.

Surprise Kendrick Lamar drop is crazy. We're temporarily back on the best timeline.

I loved making menus with my brother when we were kids. I wanna do that fr for a kawaii restaurant now as an adult 😩

Thanks to @andy and team, you can now readmy.cv :)

A couple flyers I made and posted in my buildings elevator when I was getting rid of some clutter in my apartment.

I will riot if we don't get the Journal app for macOS at next years WWDC.
