My little office space is coming together nicely—it’s amazing how much joy and productivity this cozy, creative corner is bringing.

Fed up with pretty much every digital PM tool and todo app out there, I’m going back to good old paper and pencil for my task list.

Step by step, my new office space is coming together. Made some good progress:
✅ Laminate flooring
✅ Desk
✅ Chairs
✅ Banana lamp
✅ Balloon lamp
✅ Plants
✅ Coffee machine
Next up: a bookcase, a rug, and some wall decor. Maybe a couch or a lounge chair.

Finally found (and ordered) an office chair that’s not just ergonomically solid but also an absolute beauty: the Enova Aria EAR-001B, designed by Marcelo Alegre.

Having fun designing a sleek and simple personality test.

Just got the keys to my new office! Needs a lot of work, but I’m excited to turn it into a creative space where my best designs will come to life.

Business is going well, which makes me confident to take a next step: rent an office space. Found a perfect little space next to school of my daughters, which allows me to still have lunch with them every day. I love working from home but when clients come to visit it will be nice to have an office.

Probably a bit too complex for a logo, but it was still fun to work on!

Branding exploration.

My new Hansker ergonomic mouse arrived. Feels natural and comfortable straight away, the only thing I miss is the little horizontal scrolling wheel for my thumb.

Designing some fun, simple games for Givvio, an app to help social initiatives raise more money for their causes.

Working on an admin interface for a fundraise game app.

For the fundraising game app I’m designing, we needed some fun user avatars. After exploring various ideas and styles, I settled on these colorful animal avatars.

To celebrate a client’s 5th anniversary, I designed this visual and swag. It was fun to take on a more artistic project alongside my usual product work.

Spending hours searching for a domain name that I will probably never use is my kind of Sunday night.

This logo project turned out better than I expected. Delivered all the files to the client and ordering hats to finish up the project.

A designer should always be optimistically discontent.

Discontent with the current design, driven by an urge to improve it, yet maintaining an optimistic attitude.

Too often, though, designers forget the optimism and end up simply grumpy and discontent.
