Wrapped my latest project and am looking for work! Will be at config as well!
I am a Senior Designer with 8+ years of experience building design systems for scaling companies, websites with a systematic approach, and developing brands from scratch.
the problem with applying to jobs is you need like 50 resumes. Like some days i’m a brand designer, some days a visual designer, some days web, ui/ux, product, some days marketing, even graphic design like just put me in coach, I’ve done it all and will again

In Costume Design we studied the "Kiera Knightley Effect" - everyone else in precise period costume and Kiera in whatever the wanted to make look good and old times even if it wasn't from the same era
I can't apply for jobs until my portfolio is done and I cant finish my portfolio without case studies but taking the time to write case studies is so hard because I can't focus because I need to apply for jobs because there's a pandemic and the unemployment rate but I can't ap...
ya the websites on awwwards are pretty but when your site is so "cool to use" that it's overstimulating and hard to navigate or find content - the original site purpose - you've lost the plot. accessibility and function, then beauty
Picture this: Covid is over, we meet up for a friend hang out at a coffee shop with a taco truck outside. We eat chips and queso while we wait. In the corner is a small stage where someone is setting up with a guitar for open mic night. The spring breeze blows through the trees.
In a surprising turn of events, I'm super excited to announce that I am joining the FoF Design Systems team as a Figma community advocate and work with these amazing human beings 💖

, and anyone else who joins our little team to make content and organize events related to design systems for beginners, hobbyists, and professionals working with design systems.
it’s because all the visual designers went to art school and went straight into ad agencies, and product designers are burnt out psychology majors that learned front end dev on a whim.
product design is a new major but it usually doesn’t include a studio art background
it's amusing how frequently designers say, 'I'm not JUST making things look pretty,' yet finding designers who actually excel at visual design is really tough

In between these two photos 20,000 more people have it and only 6,000 recovered in that time. Oh wait. That's my anxiety speaking. We're gonna all get better, it will be great!
Y'all I'm having so much fun creating tutorials, and I had no idea I would love it so much. I kinda want to do it... Every day... Which I can right now because I'm unemployed lol. I made this page if anyone wanted a way to support!
I don't know who needs to hear this, but going to an ivy league, working for a big company, and using buzzwords like "synergy" and "valuation" doesn't make you any more intelligent than someone with less financial means than you.
Everyone checking in,,, ily. We're safe and staying at a place with power till the snow goes away. Physically we're safe. Mentally,,,, I haven't been sleeping and my brain is unrelatedly bad so if I don't answer DMs just know I see you and feel so loved
Follower count has almost everything to do with how you use Twitter and is in no way of reflection of someone's talent. It's such a strange self-fufilling metric because people are more inclined to follow people with more followers and equate it to success
Earlier this summer, I was laid off along with 15% of my talented coworkers. I've been building my portfolio and am excited for what's next!
It's now live at . Let me know what y'all think, and if you know of any Brand or Visual design opportunities! 🖤✨
I really need
@figmadesign
to have a tiktok advocate because all I have learned from teaching Procreate tutorials is that my attention span is approximately 15 seconds
Can we please not debate whether or not you need money to be happy when the rich this week literally left millions of people to freeze to death while they all had power? Money brings you financial stability, privilege, and security, and if you honestly believe otherwise stfu
Honestly creating a design account on yet another social media platform was not something I expected but I love being able to teach and share my workflow. So here's how I do my color palettes in ProCreate!

I will listen but just so we’re clear, we did NOT misunderstand anything, JK Rowling made it clear who she was and we have chosen to boycott as such.
Here is a link to all of her documented Anti-Trans statements:
I’ve never felt more at peace starting a new job than I do through this onboarding process. I feel like I’ve been holding my breath the past 9 months and can finally sigh and breathe deeply again 🥲
Hey twitter babes, I just want to say, all of y'all made my year IMMENSELY better, like this shit was rough but I'm so fucking happy I had y'all and got to know so many of you. Literally met some of my best friends on this hellsite this year. Love you bitches🖤
i mean yeah i was only asked to do 6 wireframes by tomorrow but instead i think i might spend all night building a design system and hi-fi mockups because I can???
hot take but i love my strategists and PMs. they take all the hard parts of the design job away. i struggle with as an ADHDer staying organized, and my PMs stay on top of what tasks are prioritized
Today I:
mailed my first ever print
talked with two clients about freelance opportunities.
encouraged a woman who wanted to work under me that she was way too experienced and I should work under her.
I'm tired of thinking I'm not enough. Imposter Syndrome can honestly suck it
you ever think about how mother boards and computer chips look like cities bro what if we are just electrical particles just passing through bro are we even real
