Mentoring is one of my favourite things that I do as a senior IC. A lot of people assume only managers get to mentor, but that's definitely not the case.

The TSA Canine 2024 Calendar will make your day - www.tsa.gov/sites/defaul... It has bios for every dog and marks their birthdays 😭

The Blackberry movie was pretty darn good!

Don't you just love it when a plan falls into place?

Me and a few of my favourite coworkers wrote about what it means to lead as a Principal Designer: adobe.design/stories/our-...

I haven't shared any of these in a while, so here are two of my favs from this week's shelter dog photoshoot:

One of my favs from last week's shelter dog photoshoot. Ambrose was a very happy model!

25 slides for a 5 min presentation? I might be overdoing it.

The Bear is some of the most stressful TV I’ve ever watched, but in the best way.

I write a lot of comments to myself in design files. I assume this is totally normal.

My favourite shot from last week's shelter dog photoshoot. A surprise squeaker can get you some really funny looks!

Finally got around to watching The Peripheral TV series. It's pretty different from the book, but I really like the costume designs for the future fashion.

My fav shot from this week's shelter dog photoshoot. Top notch dog modeling skills here!

Started my day in the circle of travel hell known as flying Spirit out of Newark. It was a dark dark place, but I made it home and things can only go up from here.

Two of my favs from this week's shelter pup photoshoot: (and on sky blue this week.)

Very related: Maybe don't opt me into an onslaught of marketing emails as part of the credit freezing process?

Panic froze my credit at all three bureaus last night. It was not a fun task. Loved how that involved filling out some of the most awkward form design I've ever seen while under a whole lot of stress.

Most demanding model I've worked with yet. Refused to be photographed without his alligator and ate all my cheese!

Got to spend a big chunk of today animating things and listening to music. It was delightful.

ConvergeUS was such a great time yesterday! Huge thanks to Michelle and Zeroheight for all their hard work putting it together. So many lovely folks, great talks, and an amazing small conference vibe! ❤️

This chocolate soufflé cake from Tartine just changed my life.

Currently being horrified by background music that sounds like someone is trying to write a rock opera but all the have is an old Casio

@dreamjar.bsky.social nice to see you in the office yesterday!

My coworkers are very cool people.

@bradee.bsky.social hiiiii

Most underrated WFH skill: delivering coffee to your partner while they’re mid-meeting without showing up on their camera.

Two of my favs from Friday's shelter pup photoshoot. Two very good dogs and very cute models.

Had so much fun seeing Lizzo last night! It was such a great show!

Still going strong with my reading goal for the year. Just finished Black Cake and would definitely recommend it. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/57926137

It's 6am and we're all out of coffee. This is a sad day.

Ran a half marathon yesterday and it was fun. Even signed up for my next one already. What has happened to me?

I had cookies for lunch. I don’t entirely regret this choice.

A day off yesterday meant time to try a different lighting set up and background for dog portraits. <odeling is Ivy's new favourite "trick"!

Pittsburgh blue sky. (on film.)

Hellthreads sound a lot like real life sometimes.

A really great read on understanding privilege as a manager from Farai: https://www.heyfarai.com/im-3-privilege-i-thought-i-understood-it/

Just got my latest film scans back and the light in this one makes me happy.

I love how much the Bluesky team shares here about what's going on.

Mentoring is an important part of your job when you're a senior IC. But it's also important to make sure other people know you're doing this mentoring. Don't just assume people know it's a thing you do.

Just booked flights to SF for next month. Didn't expect to be going back so soon but excited to see friends and coworkers!

Checking one of my 2023 goals off the list! I put together a portable studio kit and learned enough about studio lighting to do shelter dog portraits. Very excited to help the pups with their adoption profiles.

In that awkward place where all your library holds become available at the same time…

Hi friends! It’s me!
