a few weeks ago, i shared one of the hardest posts i’ve ever written. i was honest about where i was mentally, financially, and professionally after a very difficult 6 months. the amount of support, messages, reposts, referrals, and kind words i received genuinely meant a lot to me. thank you to everyone who reached out, supported me, or simply took the time to read it. i’m happy to share that i’ve now started a new chapter as a product designer with @BoneLLC excited to get back to building, designing, and doing the work. grateful for everyone who helped me get here.

ok that is diabolical

Introducing Pool That little icon got us $2M in funding, 15M organic views, and now you can all finally discover what's behind it. Pool is "just an app for your screenshots." But it holds a few bets we decided to build a whole company on. We believe the context of the future is your camera roll. Understanding someone's taste, the texture of their life, can unlock things we can't even comprehend yet. We believe the future of interfaces will feel the way games make us feel, computing as a beautiful mix of art and technology. Now live on the App Store.

What's a good loop for someone just getting into loops

WIP stuff

one thing that irks me about modern cinema is that everyone looks like they live in an airbnb or hotel none of that shit feels like a lived in home but throw on the most random 90s movie and you won't have any doubt that a character has spent most of their life in that apartment

The industry keeps telling young designers to “learn AI or get left behind.” How about: • learn color theory. • learn typography. • learn how to present your work. • learn to take feedback without dying inside.😁

Spoke with many friends recently, designers and engineers, all people who've been doing it for 20 years or more and had a lot of success doing it. And they all say the same thing. The AI stuff is genuinely useful right now. It's fast and things that used to take a week take an afternoon. Things you never even attempted because there was no time, now you can just do them. It's the biggest enabler ever. But in the same breath, every single one also says that it's the least fun they've ever had in their entire career. They also mention it makes no sense to do it the old way. They're all in. It's a strange paradox which I feel myself. Everything is possible now and I've never cared less about any of it. Both things true at once. Not sure if thats just the feeling of the current moment, or if I just talked to people who're tired of the computer (since all of them been doing it for a long time).
