let’s get social *15 absolutely cooked social media icons*

it’s the new “let’s get social”

i do not desire social, dear medical appointment booking microapp

not once. constantly. not a survey, not looking at behavioral data. listening to people and understanding their world.

i am more convinced than ever that you have to talk to humans and users if you are building something that gives them more than it takes

"it's my personal assistant" is that what we think a personal assistant would do? extremely insulting tbh

why is it that every single "cool" opencl*w implementation is "managing email" and "reminding me to leave for the gym"

reposting: anyone writing about this? i am noticing a shift toward user hostility and i think it is going to get worse

i maintain there will always be value in lofi, it's important upstream work to challenge your understanding and mastery of the problem in a very low stakes and fast way. it also means signficantly less waste when you do get to hifi, and i think we see the process in the output

Momoko, by Momoko Gill 11 track album

my people. this album is it. if you like jazz with *soul* and lots of vibe, you will love this

both but yes i'm struggling with "signature" - perhaps forcing it into the 2x2

A two by two grid shows Recognition (seeing quality) as a column header 1 and Execution (making quality) as header 2. The first row is "Shared" (learnable, evaluable). In the first cell, it says "Taste" - can they see what's working and what isn't? The next cell says "Craft" - can they solve the problem completely? The second row says "Personal" (individual, emergent). The first cell says Style - what are they drawn to? and the final cell says Signature - what makes their work recognizably theirs?

workshopping this 2x2 for taste/craft/style/signature...?

Post A few months ago, I came across a recording I made of my personal portfolio presentation and thought it would be good to share as a resource for other designers...

back when i was interviewing, i recorded myself to practice. now, i'm uploading that take as a resource for others on what a "principal product designer"-level presentation looks like:

this is exactly what i'd show in an interview, so at 25 mins it is a little long.
