Remote working robbed us of the ability to impress co-workers with our knowledge of keyboard shortcuts.

Time with others is finite, and it’s precious.
Don’t just assume they know—tell the people who matter that they matter. ❤️

Having trouble making a choice?

Go for a walk 🚶

Don't come back until you've decided

You'll make a choice.

Your most valuable work each day is choosing the right problem to focus on.

A good design is like a good joke—if you have to explain it, it’s probably wasn't actually all that good.

⭐️ Pro Tip
See the world. 🌍
Traveling abroad builds empathy for other cultures while making once-in-a-lifetime memories.

– John Keats

Creativity is just curiosity dressed in its trendiest outfit.

⭐️ Pro Tip
Assemble your personal board of advisors—trusted folks you can lean on for life’s big calls.
And nurture those relationships before you need them.

Thinking is easy. Feels safe.

Doing is hard. Feels scary.

Doing is the only way to the unknown.

Time heals all wounds, but a good playlist will speed things up.

☝️ Design tip
Simplify, relentlessly.

Every silver lining starts as someone squinting really hard at a cloud.

Success is less about getting it right and more about refusing to stay wrong.

‘What’s in a rebrand?
That which we convert to a trendy sans-serif by any other typeface would smell as sweet.’

The best ideas are the ones that won’t stop pestering you until you try them.

☝️ Design Tip
For when you have 24hrs left before the launch of a project:

Ask if we would "no-go" the launch if we didn't include this change or add this feature makes. If the answer is no (and it's almost always no), then that's something for the next version that can start 25hrs from now.

The best ideas often come after you think you’ve run out.

”The journey of a thousand revisions begins with a first design demo.”
– Lao Tzu”

Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care.

 Failure is the best teacher and a pre-requisite to giving a compelling TED Talk.

☝️ Design Tip
Try not to be so focused on being right that you fail to be understood.

Every step forward starts with the courage to look a little foolish.

A lot of luck is really preparation crashing into the right opportunity.

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak during design critique and remove all doubt."
– Abraham Lincoln
