I had a company in the the top 10 of the fortune 100 list reach out to me about moving to the middle of the country to design for them.

Remote work empowers employees to do their best, where they thrive.

Simply, the answer was hell no. I'll give up any kind of money to stay right where | belong.

My anxiety is up to a level 100/10

Happy Tuesday - I took off Wednesday through Friday to avoid the massive burnout I feel coming on.

I hope someone treats you well today

Does one else’s cat do this while they work? This is a brand new behavior and I’m totally okay with it

I hope this brings you some peace today 🥰

5️⃣ Find Your Niche

What are you passionate about? Fitness? Finance? Food delivery? Focus on an industry you love—it makes your work more meaningful and helps you stand out in the job market.

3️⃣ Redesign Everyday Experiences
UX isn’t just for apps.

Notice frustrating real-life experiences (like a tricky self-checkout machine 🛒) and imagine how you’d improve it. This shows your creativity and proves you can think beyond screens.

2️⃣ Start with Solving Real Problems, Not Just Tools

Ever struggled with a confusing app or clunky website? That’s your starting point! Focus on finding solutions to problems YOU experience every day. The tools (like Figma or Adobe XD) will come later.
