A number of years back I bought this book called “Labels and Tags”. A Japanese softcover produced in 1992. Such a wonderful source of inspiration.

I really dislike that "Design" has become synonymous with product design. Design has and always will be bigger than digital experience and product.
It makes it so much more complex when job hunting.

Design (graphic or otherwise) is about problem solving.
Designers should leave their personal feelings at the door when it comes to receiving constructive critique. If you're offended by a design critique, you're not understanding the design process to begin with.

Being transparent = healthy.
Job hunting in 2023 has been a difficult road. Between the mass layoffs + 100s of rejection emails it has progressively become more difficult to keep my head in a positive space. Not only for myself but for my friends that have been laid off too

. I’m definitely sad but more broken up about the lost connections with some of the most talented folks I’ve ever been around. We made a huge amount of amazing (and award winning🏆) work over the past 5 years.

Is it scary? Yep.
Is it going away? Nope.
This is not some hyped up trend. It's going to change the fabric of how we work at a global scale.
You've gotta get on board the AI train. Learn it, understand it and use it in relation to your skillsets.

I was laid off in February and I’ve had an extremely hard time letting off the gas. I haven’t taken a “week off” to decompress. I immediately jumped into freelance and have been applying to FT jobs since day one. It’s not great.
How do y’all relax?

This new feeling of being a dad is overwhelming in the best possible way. I can’t take my eyes off of August, my son. “My son” so weird. I knew it was going to be heavy but wow. So much bliss and anxiety all swaddled into this 8lb little human. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Friendly reminder:
✅ You have value and talent.
✅ You are not alone.
✅ Vent to your close friends + loved ones.

This is sickening. White nationalism is a disease. We need gun reform now.
We shouldn’t be afraid to take our kids to church.
To a school.
To a store.
To the movies.
To festivals.
If the people around you aren’t talking about this, aren’t angry... talk to them about it.

We partnered with Buck to create a new way to represent our products. With thoughtful concepts and bold use of color, we use a bit of personality to embody the story of intangible products and complex ideas.

To be clear, I’m 100% not looking for sympathy or whatever. I’m documenting this to keep my sanity and thought it might be interesting to share.
Despite all this I know that I am:
- a fantastic creative director + design leader
- a great people manager
- a super rad dude

My 2 cents
A Head of Design role should have deep knowledge and experience with marketing design, brand design, social, events, experience, and product -- Not just UX.
All of it is design.
