I'm proud of this little (big) area now being built.

It's been like when spring cleaning comes around after moving to a new place. Keep what's working, change what isn't and gradually introduce people to the room that you've been renovating for 2 years when they ask what's in there.

Especially within an agency that may not have had someone speak up about accessibility in mind in a while.

Now we're building design system, I'm manually testing with my AT set up and clients are now requesting usability studies and accessibility audits.

Saturday marks 2 years at my job. Started as a Project Management & QA Intern. Now a UX Strategist doing more work in research, design and web accessibility.

I knew I wanted to go into UX to help people. While that may be more locally focused, I'm seeing the impact spread.

The same dream spilled into the third night. Patches of a moment still lingering.

Leaning against a railing, looking out across the city skyline. Buzzing chatter over laughter & music carried from a distance.
The clearest voice that stood out from the crowd was always yours.

Daydreams returned, ones where we meet those who know us best.
Those who've walked with us through our own hells and back.
There you sit,
wanting to rekindle your own spark,
uncertain where to start.
All the things you need are right in front of you.
Why turn away willing hands to help guide you?

I got included in an upcoming developer only demo for a new platform we're about to start using and idky, but that was my happy moment today.

Even though my primary roles are strategy & design now, knowing I'm included as a front-end dev also makes me happy.

First ACR down. Now for a massive nap before driving down to the main office in the morning.

I got a day and a half left to finish this report and remediation proposal before I gotta drive down to home office Friday 💀

actually really excited about this cause its the first in depth audit I've gotten to do since last year 🥹

Sorry in advance to my neighbors if they hear me get excited about Digimon Beatbreak on Saturday now. 😩💖

Been down in the depths of spreadsheets for the past week.

And next week I'm ramping back up on a design. 😩

Been over here questioning why I feel tired and uninterested in what I need to do today...

Forgot to take my meds. 💀

Project launched pretty nicely. Now I'm getting to design more 🥹

Right back to the feeling of late night designs cause the ideas hit after 5

That's to say.. I hope he got there after I went to bed 🙏

So there one friend named Raz.. You might know him 👀 He was killing it in Trials for a bit.

I wonder if he ever got to the lighthouse last night. 🤭

Spending time with my friends was honestly the thing I needed for my birthday and didn't even realize it until now.

Wanted to play trails after work yesterday. Had dinner at home with my sister instead and got to spend time with multiple friends for the first time in months 🥹

Like.. 10+ people in a VC all just talking about random shit from anime conventions, Edge of Fate lore/gameplay changes, and new friends

Thank you! 💖

I have pre-agreed with this!

As much as I want to play daybreak 2 tonight, that's my treat tomorrow to celebrate this site launch... And my birthday 🎉

Hikari got the zoomies this morning. 🚗💨

Gonna be so happy when this project launches. 🥹

This week's stats:
+ Officially the team's UX Strategist (and Designer + Accessibility Specialist).
+ Another project set to launch next week.
+ So close to the finish line.
- dev didn't push up code before going on vacation for said project.
- what's sleep?

Unfortunately, the new agentic tools are making this line less clear and it’s really obvious that users can’t distinguish between using a foundation model and using a foundation model that’s using a search agent. That’s a UX failure.

Lack of sleep. No desire to be on electronics longer than necessary for work. Sharp pain flare ups in my hand/wrist. Migraine and neck pain some days too.

Like... Fuck. I miss spending time with my partners. I also need to listen to my body when my nerves feel like they're on fire.

I'm up for basically 18 hours starting at 4am from my cat waking me up for food.. Then work 8-5(sometimes 6), only to try and sleep by 9 but unable to fall asleep until 11 most nights again.

I'm fucking exhausted. I'm lucky if I get more than 5 hours of sleep a day.

Already exhausted from work.. Didn't expect to exhausted even further after date night.

I miss quality time but it's been difficult to do anything during the week with my long distance partner because I don't want to be on the computer after already being on it for 9-10 hours from work..
