It feels impossible to think aloud or share unfinished ideas without being judged. People are quick to assume your thoughts define you. The result? Everyone sounds the same, striving to be politically correct. But language never shapes culture—culture shapes language.

my brain this morning;

design is art that has to work
design can be artsy
art has more design than design has art
if art is for artists, design is for people

Name a font you hate more than Comic Sans 
I'll start: Hobo

I was admiring illustrators until I saw how they set type

UX designers, how can I sign up for your next-billion-users list? As no app perfectly fits me.

My client starting a coffee bar business says there's a competition of coffee cups that people use in their meetings. So I chose violence.

I still think of Adobe Illustrator when they say AI

It never holds on the wall so, I took the opportunity.

There are not many quotes about design that are so true:

"Time heals all designs"

NGL I feel guilty when I dive into deep chats on this beautiful user interface. Sorry @andy—I will follow the 'show, don’t tell’ approach in the new year.

Working with people from different disciplines > working in different disciplines

I don’t have the biggest projects in the world, but I have clients who remember my birthday and I think that’s beautiful. I am officially 31 🎂

Is there a social habit/goal tracker with beautiful interface?

Ok, how do designers find great developer friends to build their apps together? Asking for a friend.

My toxic trait is redesigning it all over again if I got revisions

If we’re all gonna keep using film look on our photos, what’s the point of developing fancy cameras?

I ignore apps with onboarding ‘surveys’ that end up in payment screen. Can I just see the actual app first please?

I decided to cancel the useless LinkedIn premium and support read.cv

The most important brand asset is time. If you don’t have it, don’t worry too much about it.

Happy Sunday, I just stopped by to see what people are creating and what @cindywu is eating today

As a design collector, I see no difference between buying vinyls and graphic memoirs, or even postcards. Just as a musician tells their stories through melodies, here, there are letters and strokes.

I wish Teenage Engineering would design a film camera

The book is The Dream Machine https://press.stripe.com/the-dream-machine Sorry I forgot to hit paste. :)

I would just wait until I see it on an actual Jaguar

The faster we create, the less it fulfills 🥹

I will let Figma traumatize their AI with my designs

They told me that if I learn design tools, I could create anything, but they didn’t tell me I’d need to make money with it.

I enjoy discovering and listening to design podcasts these days. Please share your favorites with me

AI might not build apps yet, but it's fun to play with in p5.js

This forest reminds me of Pan’s Labyrinth

There’s a special place in hell for slab serifs.

Weirdest bug I ever seen in Adobe Illustrator

Posts is so resting. I can feel that social media can be harmless when I am here.

Me: I am a designer. 
Them: What do you design?
Me: What do you need to be designed?
