I AM RLY EXCITED ABT EVERYTHING IM DOIN' RN 😎😎😎


😊😊 Got this from one my mentees today: "I wanted to reach out and just say that my relationship with my product manager has gotten so much better ever since we talked. I also feel like I’ve gained more respect from everybody, even the developers which is huge" feels good!


Made some post/card concepts this week! 😍 Brainstorming on ways to make paying for a monthly subscription to my content more enticing... what if.... A - I sent you a personal post card every month? B - sent you a mystery gift bag when you subscribed?

💫F I N A L L Y back to writing Kai's Howdy World #6 - a newsletter for designers learning to code I was stuck in tutorial hell for awhile, but I crawled out What helped? → Asking for help (thnx @ashitaa !!!) → using life’s swings as a catalyst → following the heck thru

WK3 RECAP of Meow Memory Lane: + altho rather smol sample test, it's a meaningful project that can rly help ppl process grief + easy fixes I can quickly do this week - bigger fixes require more than what framer can offer me right now, so.... *deep breath* it's time to revisit…

Being shameless about the journey I’m climbing: on the road to design engineering ft. Steve Urkel 🤣🤣🤣 One of my recent fave quotes from @MengTo “The only difference between an engineer and designer is just a tool.”


WOW tested out Google's NotebookLM for synthesizing user feedback, and this literally took 5 seconds 😲 In the past, I would put everything into a figjam and calculate quantitative data manually. Imagine having 100x of this data and getting results in just a few secs... insane

🥳 I spoke at my first conference today at @ChicagoCamps! It was a FULL CIRCLE moment for me, and this went into my WIN desktop folder. When I first started transitioning into product design, I felt like quitting ALOT. I thought maybe I had the wrong personality for it? Then…

Meow Memory Lane's 4th official resident: 皮皮 ! Nestled in a victorian castle filled with lush plants, he loves it! The pet parent wrote a beautiful poem, highly recommend heading over to the site to read it and leave a comment in the guest book.

felt like it needed to be said that I love being me and where I’m going with that 💅


Revisiting my edtech dashboard and trying to decide if I want to keep this ticker animation scroll... Does it compete with the carousel above? Should it be smaller or more subdued? 🙏 help a procrastinating designer out
