Seeing this with ny own eyes - employers want to see more ai, more visual polish and less process open.substack.com/pub/verified...
Iβve 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 Itβs no longer enough to be a competent designer in this job market. #designer #productdesign
Tangentially related to #design: Amy Tanβs 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 youβre 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
I made a free ungated app to convert videos to GIFs to streamline my portfolio process. You can use it too. #designer #productdesign #portfolios #GIFs

Happy new year! More fun and creative projects in 2026

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.

Being a mid career #designer in big #tech is more meetings + documentation than actual designing
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).

My company implemented a forced ranking policy where a % of employees will be marked as low performers every quarter. Letβs see how this plays out. πΏ
