My first post in 2024 is sharing some work. This was one of the last projects I worked on during my time with Apple. It was a labor of love and great teamwork. For real, do you know how hard it is to make Mail look good? Very! Happy New Year!!!
Here's some more work I did with Apple. I enjoy this little hero animation. It's not much, but it conveys a lot in context. This page was not intended to be flashy, but informative. It's about security. Check out the live site:
Another Project I got to work on. It might not look like it, but this was one of the most challenging projects I got to work on—so much content... Check out the full site for more.
Trying something new. This is my first time using MidJourney after seeing prompts shared by
@AlexAperios
. I gave it a try using one of his prompts as inspiration. I've been wanting to play with this typeface anyway, felt like the perfect time. What do you think?
@DannPetty
I call it the "Teaser Zone." Users will scroll if your teasers rock their curiosity boat enough to make 'em want more. Now, is that controversial? idk, lol.

“Don't think: I need a job ❌
Think: I need to make myself hireable ✅
The first one, you can't control
The second, you can control
I like to focus on things I can control.”

The storytelling here is amazing! One of the animators on my team during my time with Apple worked on the title sequence for Severance and it's still one of the best I've ever seen!
BE YOU!! I used to constantly compare myself to other creatives and always felt that I wasn't good enough. I found the most success when I learned to be myself. Be authentic—your future self will thank you for it.
I used to constantly compare myself to some ideal standard of where I "should" be. Now I look back and appreciate how far I've come. I celebrate small wins, not just big milestones. Focusing on progress over perfection has made me happier.
Sometimes, I feel we place too much emphasis on landing a job at a name brand rather than finding roles that genuinely excite us! You'll thrive and find more happiness in a great-fit job. And, if it happens to be with a name brand, well, that's cool too.

This^^! You only need one, Yes, but sometimes you have to go through a few Nos first. If I may add one thing, it would be to take breaks to recharge while job hunting.
Thank you to everyone who attended the last webinar! It was so much fun, and such a pleasure to have had the chance to chat with so many talented and skilled creatives. I look forward to more.
One of the biggest lessons I learned working for Apple is to simplify the design process. Too often, designers make it unnecessarily complicated and spend less time on problem-solving.
Hey Designers! Embrace interview challenges like a boss and share how each hurdle made you better! Remember, ‘I don’t know’ is a solid answer. Honesty is a valuable trade. Stay true to yourself! 🙌

Ever wonder what a day in the life of a fictional Twitter design genius looks like? My new satirical short story takes you inside the mind of one. Come for the exaggeration, stay for the

illustrations. Thanks, Pab!
Stumbled upon this thought: 'Amateurs stop when they get it right. Pros keep going until they can’t get it wrong.' Isn't that so true in design? The countless revisions, the relentless refining—what's your 'pro' journey looking like?
Acing interviews is about authenticity and mindset as much as skills. Bring confidence, enthusiasm and genuine interest - it's contagious!
#InterviewTips
That perfect job could slip away if your resume has mistakes. Typos and bad grammar can undermine the best qualifications. Proofread obsessively! ✏️
#ResumeTips
When interviewing virtually, it can be challenging but remember to maintain virtual eye contact by looking at the camera. While looking at the screen feels natural, it doesn't foster engagement. 👁️💻
Looking for a senior react native developer/a small team of react-native devs. Experience building Shopify Apps and other custom Sales Channels on the Shopify platform would be a big plus.
DM with relevant examples for more details.
@AdobeXD
Thanks to everyone that turned in today. I'm excited to continue building the site tomorrow. See you all there. Also, happy to answer any questions I didn't get to on the stream.

All tools are a means to an end. The only thing in design that never change are the fundamentals. Learn the fundamentals first and tools second.
Sending a follow-up thank you note referencing your conversation is a small gesture with a big impact. It displays thoughtfulness and emotional intelligence. 💌🙏
#InterviewEtiquette
Persistence and creativity matter in the job search! Follow up with hiring managers, share your passion, and find ways to demonstrate your skills that grab attention. You'll shine above the rest!
#JobHuntingTips
The most qualified person doesn't always get the job. It's about visibility! Build your brand on LinkedIn, network for referrals, and showcase your skills creatively. Be proactive!
#CareerTips
The best way to get a job is to build relations with recruiters & hiring managers. Don't ask for favors at first. Offer value by sharing insights & being thoughtful. Make real connections as people, not roles. Be patient. Provide value consistently without expectations.
5⃣ Embrace Silences: Replace filler words with purposeful pauses. It conveys your thoughtfulness and professionalism. Let your design prowess do the talking. 🤫🗣️

Something I tell myself all the time is, "You have no competition—you're the only one that can compete against you, so why not just be YOU. Faults and all."
A6: “Talking” before “Calling”. I always like to give clients (people) the benefit of the doubt. Always give them a chance to make things right before getting a lawyer involved.
