Feeling like an absolute racoon for breaking design system data table styling by adding in a border line for sticky headers and line numbers…but it makes sense. 😬

Wednesday wisdom. Order your coffee sooner rather than later and brush your cat’s teefs so you can order even more coffee.

Lack. Of. Coffee.

Happy Friday

How come there isn’t an emoji for a coffee bean?

AI is a bit like plastic. Has the right time and place for it but it becomes harder and harder to avoid it. Also being used on things that don’t really need or benefit from it. Just like plastic.

AI produced imagery for corporate presentations. Of course it’s gone quite rogue. Just because we can, should we? I suppose it’s one way to attract attention somewhat effectively cos I’m still thinking about what I saw and my jaw is still on the floor.

Once again, I find myself thinking about the camera

everyone likes to look at everyone else's Design System docs site, amirite? Here's another one for ya! design.visa.com 🙏🖤

I’ve been interviewing people about mentoring in my corporate world and I always felt bad for not ever wanting or finding any value in having regular mentoring sessions. Turns out there’s a few of us that rather have a meaningful conversation ad-hoc or a specific 1:1 meeting pre arranged. 🥳

Whaaaa! It’s been 5 years since the Animal Crossing has come out!

In today’s team retro we agreed to keep our Figma files dumb cos less to break. Figma has got too THIC & CHONKY!

I love this so much. That third picture of the crowds by the freedom monument ♥️ Apsveicu!

Today Figma is not my friend. 🤷‍♀️

For the first time in ages I downloaded Instagram app and thought the broken mobile site on browser was almost less annoying. Deleted Instagram app. I used to use it for finding interesting places when travelling. That was my Instagram peak.

We are looking for another Interaction Design Lead! Come and do important work with a fantastic community and incredibly talented people! www.jobtrain.co.uk/justicedigit...

A dear friend is being made redundant and is looking for work immediately. Super experienced #GraphicDesigner, #Photographer & #Manager. Experience comes from print and production industry, simultaneously managed production lines as well as designed and photographed those products. DM for details 💌

This lil lad is 3 today! Still as THIC as back then! Happy birthday to Haru the chonk! 🎉🥳🎉

Cats don’t know what to do when I’m back at work. They keep going around the office that still looks a bit like some gift wrapping studio and they keep tapping on things, crawling behind screens, taste testing pens and so on. A whole lot of tippy-tappy. Both a bit lost as to why the heck I’m here.

Considering that it’s the first day back at work, Monday blues is kicking me surprisingly lightly today. Oh and the seasonal break was needed. It felt like a long one but I’m reconsidering that judgement. There’s never too much of sunshine and fresh air! Happy Monday!

Considering that Latvian grey peas were forbidden to serve in Latvia under Soviet occupation as it was a sign of Latvian patriotism aka the ultimate crime, now it should be served daily in every bar. Think of it as Latvian edamame.

I admit I’ve checked out mentally already yet I still can’t bring myself to think next week it’s the winter solstice celebrations!

That time of the year when most people have checked out already and it feels fine when there’s a prolonged continuous silence after a question or two. Will come back to this some time in 2025.

Today was my second time in escape rooms. My team and I escaped with 20min spare. The theme was science or crime. I thought the rooms were well organised and I really enjoyed it this time round! Where are the best escape rooms? 🤔

The very branded packaging companies at the winter solstice season should go plain cardboard so no one can tell what’s inside. Just a thought.

Trying out the new hybrid style illustration kit that combines UI and illustrative elements. It’s like a design system and it’s my new favourite thing.

Writing things down on a brain dump Mural board made me feel good about the process and productivity. The best one is the questions and assumptions! Clears out a chunk with a CHONK by my side.

Well it’s time to pack up tweets and hog the space with a tweetless account.

Teach your parents and grandparents to screenshot tech related issues because when they’ll need the inevitable tech support it’ll make your life easier, I promise!

The power of POWerpoint. Haven’t used this tool for (nearly) a decade, now I remember why.

👨‍💻: you ok? 👩‍💻: yeah? Why? 👨‍💻: you looked upset 👩‍💻: nope, just wiping my cat’s flüüff off my face. 🐱💭: oof that was a good! Oh, is that another meeting call, hang on, I’m coming!

Oh hi there. Mostly I’m a UI designer, mostly.
