The studio website is the biggest chokepoint with momentum right now. I can't wait to complete this behemoth of a task.
Then onto finalizing client contracts, onboarding systems, localized guerrilla marketing, content creation.
Lastly, presenting some really useful browser extensions I built.

I was bored and wanted to give my website some simple dynamic animated buttons. So I told Gemini to whip some up for me.

Coming across and learning about the term "singularity sprint" was like downing 12 shots of espresso alongside it eradicating my ADHD, perfectionism, and complaints about trivial matters.
I needed that.
Forward and onward. Immediately.

If you're not self-employed and are quick to appease the needs of your boss with more urgency than your own personal well-being — you are, in fact, broken.
You owe it to YOU to provide yourself the same amount, if not more, attention through INTENTION to live as harmonious a life as possible.

Google Sites is perfect for bootstrapping the launch of my upcoming brand identity design studio.
Switched from Squarespace & got rid of monthly website costs to put that cash into other business tools.
Core messaging is more important than dynamic design.
Follow along as I document the build.

Those that are anti-generative AI don’t realize that the innovation itself is FUELING nostalgia in the longrun.
Organic mediums (paintings, illustrations, sculptures, analog art, etc.) will appreciate in perceived value.
Nostalgia is a powerful concept, mindset, and dare I say, marketing tool.

Coming from a purely graphic design discipline, I was able to build 2 websites, 4 web apps, and 3 extensions in bafflingly short time.
But to meet accountability and curiosity in the middle, I've actually been LEARNING how to code in tandem with #vibecoding.
I want to go from no-code to co-code.

What tool do/would you use for beverage can mockups?
Adobe Dimension?
Blender?
Photoshop?
A specific web app?
Been using Dimension for years but I want to try something different.

The value of analog arts and #design will inherently increase when the dust settles and people become complacent to the saturation of “synthetic” content.

My studio website’s “portfolio” section will only consist of conceptual passion projects — no client projects at all.
I’m documenting the process to show that client acquisition is possible showcasing a well-developed #BrandIdentity that you have full-control over.

The goal of my current brand identity project is to use mundane everyday office objects as the visual language of the brand.
The challenge has been a gratifying experience so far.

This year really made me feel the existential paradigm shift.
It’s overwhelming but further makes me a believer that you can pivot through the chaos.
You are what you think.

If you’re into strategy PC games, #Battletech is an absolute masterpiece.
The campaign is engaging.
The storytelling is gripping.
From a #design standpoint, the UI and #art direction is incredible.

Reminder: It’s still possible to pivot through the chaos and find your own balance.
People need to ease up on imposing their will on others with the doom & gloom.
There’s nothing constructive about any of it.
Share what you love and enjoy every now and again.
