I’ve been endlessly daydreaming about moving to Tokyo, living in a tiny house and spontaneously booking random trips across Asia with my husband.

After 3 months of interviewing for sr level product design roles, I sense that It’s no longer enough to be a competent designer in this job market. #designer #productdesign

Tangentially related to #design: Amy Tan’s master class on fiction is really good. She talks a lot about digging into and embracing emotions. There are a lot of good exercises in there for designers, esp if you’re like me and worked in enterprise with a lot of constraints for a long time

Finally had some time to update the grain effect on my toy camera app so it looks more natural. Before grains looked too calculated and consistent (red teapot), now grains look more natural and random (bird) #toyphotography #photography

The only good thing about a mass layoff is you have a cohort of people going through the same thing. We can help each other. After having my portfolio reviewed by former design colleagues, I finally got my portfolio deck to land ✨#techlayoffs

I did not survive this season of tech #layoffs. Although I had already started interviewing, the news hit me kind of hard and has me feeling like I should take some time off.

Notes while interviewing: everyone is asking how you are using AI in your workflow now.

Lowriders & websites | Adam Stoddard The case for investing in things that β€œdonβ€˜t really matter”.

Avoid "functional absolutism" by spending time and energy on things that don't matter. Love this sentiment by @aaadaaam.com.

Bonus: A wonderful little `<random-pattern>` web component in the header.

UX Strategies for Complex-Application Design UX in complex, specialized domains requires adapting familiar methods across the design lifecycle to address domain constraints and expert-user needs.

UX design for complex, specialized applications can be structured into three cyclical phases: Understand (investigating the problem space), Explore (generating and prototyping ideas), and Materialize (refining and implementing solutions).
