Photo of a poster that says: Welcome To IAC26 Navigating Complexity: Clarity and Understanding with Information Architecture / April 14th - 18th - Philadelphia, PA / Keynote Speakers Meg Lewis and Paz Perez

Selfie of my shoulder in which I'm wearing a black collared shirt with three round pins in it: "The Sensemakers Club" & "I make sense of messes." & "CERTIFIED SHITTY shittymaps.com"

A person standing at a podium in front of a projector screen on which a crude diagram is being displayed featuring the following text: THE TROJAN HORSE. A VISUAL + DISARMING MEDIUM. AN INVITING + NON-CONFRONTATIONAL POSTURE.

Photo of a portion of a sticker sheet. The main sticker being featured is a curled up prawn with the text "I ❤️ MY POSTURE" along its back. Some other stickers partially visible around the shrimp: a jar of jelly that says "Design Jam," a polar bear wearing glasses and a conference badge, two circular stickers featuring heart shapes and the IAC logo, the word TAXONOMY

Snapshots from yesterday, when I spent a few hours at @theiaconf.bsky.social #IAC26 hanging out with @thesensemakersclub.bsky.social and meeting online friends IRL for the first time 🥰

結局私Sensemakingのイメージわかなかったんだよね、IAC26でAbbyが紹介してたんは知ってるんだけど。

I’m still struggling to wrap my head around the concept of "Sensemaking." I know Abby introduced it at #IAC26, but it hasn't quite clicked for me yet. I'm left wondering—what is it, really? Still waiting for that "Aha!" moment...

At PHL heading back home after #iac26. It's been another awesome Information Architecture Conference. I went out of my comfort zone this year: gave an in-person talk, went up to people I've seen before from afar and actually introduced myself, and had lunch and dinner with new conference friends.

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.”
