I’m open for Product Design projects from July to September. This is a rare opportunity to hire me to design zero-to-one products, supercharge your product processes, and build a brand people love! My design process is data-driven with strong product intuition at its core,

@isabelunraveled there are few male role models who embody healthy masculinity. men who are passionate and chivalrous, courageous yet vulnerable, convicted but soft spoken, assertive yet kind. our choices feel binary. you either look up to men who are (a) brash and hyper-masculine or (b) feeble

I spent an unreasonable amount of time reverse engineering the variable blur effect on iOS, and posted a sample project in SwiftUI/UIKit. It uses the private type CAFilter, so use at your own risk. It’s such a nice effect — hope it’ll become API!
