Big news: there's a new sticker on my new laptop ☀️ 🌙

Hi ✌️ from the Catskills where I'm re-wilding a few acres. I love making things on computers, and I also love nature and learning to care for it. Balance is everything!

Back with tech hot takes in a bit, for now, a deep breath of fresh air.

New York design systems scene ✨

Hiii! So glad you liked it! And thank you for the kind words. ❤️ So wild to be thinking about creativity right now! The tools we have shape us as we use them, and today we have more agency than ever to shape our own paths... but also a proportionate risk to miss it entirely and walk someone else's.

on theme: creativity and leadership in the age of ai podcast

Listen in on a conversation with the absolutely delightful @elyseholladay.bsky.social. Can't wait to keep the fun going in Bristol at converge.zeroheight.com

✨ excellent as always

I wrote about design system teams and morale. pjonori.blog/posts/design...

If you're overwhelmed by everything to learn and keep up with, shift your focus to noticing what lights you up and makes you feel curious.

So easy to let moments slip by as unimportant, but it's not a waste of time to enjoy being human. It's critical to creativity, and foundational to learning.

Feeling the pre-pandemic meetup design scene vibes ✨ in New York thanks to the hard work of the best people. Community is everything. See you all at the next one ✌️

Thanks for the fun and the photos! @erinmikail.bsky.social and @donnie.damato.design

literally nothing better than friends who make you laugh so hard that it hurts and you think oh my god i need to go to the gym and work out my core so i can keep up with the laughter

I love collaborating with you too, @figma.com 😆 cheers to 2025! 🥂

So much awesomeness to share, but not yet! Happy New Year! ✌️

Prepare to take flight 👀

Before my Goodbye 2024 Reel (what a beautiful year) I feel like October has to have a little special highlight of its own. Tried to capture the vibe: from celebrating a very special day 💖 to beautiful adventures with dear friends, and the many joyful things in between. October is my favorite.

Anyways the main takeaways are: listen to @lurkmoophy.bsky.social 's band and go to
@erinmikail.bsky.social 's comedy shows ✌️

Had the pleasure of chatting about community, design systems, and share fun hot takes with @lurkmoophy.bsky.social and @erinmikail.bsky.social today. Finding myself more excited than ever about about continuing to build the design community here in nyc & globally. We're in a beautifully human time 💖

Come listen to me jabber on and ask questions to much smarter people

Listen to the ever talented @katielangerman.bsky.social every chance you can:
