Pursuit of Happiness (Nightmare) [feat. MGMT & Ratatat] by Kid Cudi

transitioning from a local startup to SF startup is actually a huge change and difference

some recent branding explorations for a client. we ended up going a slightly different direction but I was feeling this one.

Amazing times at the coast last weekend. Eager for more summer days

There’s such a huge rift between designers who build in quiet and observe and those who are all in on engaging and connecting. 

It’s wild that two drastically different personas exist in the design sphere.

I really do appreciate the perspectives of other designers on this app and the folks replying to my last post. Thanks for taking the time to discuss that with me / each other. It has me thinking about more about the dynamics of the design community, sharing work and much more.

are you a start of the project kinda person or and end of the project kinda person?

So are we all just always in charge of family reunion swag and what not? Always seem to be my most needy clients 🤨😂

"Get out of bed.
The day has been
asking about you.

It dragged the sun into your
room this morning,

pulled an entire disco of light
through your curtains,

hoping that all of this gleam
would be enough to get your attention.”

- Rudy Francisco

I agree! I also think that AI has the possibility to open up a lot more avenues for true personalization of the UX - as opposed to what we can do currently (which is usually just very robust segmentation)

Been on a spooky movie kick recently… anybody else ? 😅 also any other physical media folks out there…

Headed to Madrid and Seville next week. 
Tips, thoughts, reccs?

i've recently figured out that "sales" is part of the equation. design is craft and that's already very intensive. then there's sales which every worker must become good at - be it selling yourself, your skills, your job...

branding doodle from last year. My wife and I were playing with the dream of a custom jewelry workshop. bjiou is jewel in french I believe.

i am looking for someone to fill my current roll and have a few people in my linkedin network I reached out to. 1/3 has actual work available to view online. just a reminder that your work being live & available for someone to see is crucial if you are looking for work

Has anyone here, who traditionally doesn't do design education, been asked to give a crash course (paid) to a freelance client? Did you just charge normal rates? Did you teach them while working on their projet?

what video games we playing this weekend homies?

My wife accidentally created this funky “S” font at brunch the other day. It’s perfect.

Recent work on a sub-project for the Wrap The World non-profit.

I love Stop Making Sense by the Talking Heads. My parents would play this album while we deep cleaned our house. Other than the urge to vacuum, experiencing this show in IMAX was such an amazing time.

I know it’s a hot take but free work here and there really leads to many great and better paid opportunities.

marrying my best friend was the greatest choice I’ve ever made.

Planned the gallery wall in Figma  Projected it onto the wall. Install wall  Measure thrice

How do you think AI is gonna be implemented into interface design at large? Do you have any thoughts or predictions on what the “standard interface” might become? I see us already moving out of chatbots and the path forward can truly lead anywhere

all the sudden a lot of people care about the jaguar brand lol

there is a huge difference between someone asking for a random task due in 3 hours and me deciding to do it in the 3 hours before it’s due. I won’t be elaborating any further.

Actually getting leadership buy in on a deep and thorough rebrand?? 

🫨🥹🤯🫣

Got the watercolors for this pretzel 7 lol. 🤷‍♂️

are you auto layout everything or auto layout nothing

The place I am at is looking for a contracted Creative Director / Brand Specialist to unify our assets and brand into one source of truth. Would work with me and other teams in collaboration but would own the brand + guidelines + tangibles.

Put together some branding for my futsal team. We went orange / red to avoid having to wear pinnies. lol

Curious. 

Are you more energized/excited by starting a project or finishing it?

A few projects are so close to the finish line. Can’t wait to share more here as well as get some feedback
