Designer with too many hobbies in Brooklyn. I run @gdocexpo.com in my spare time. People go "ooh" when I say I make video games.

Another reflection I have on the job hunt: Looking at the numbers of responses to applications, the rates look pretty low, about 5-10%. That is concerning, because that is the rate you expect from sending out a survey to a randomized population. Not a targeted one where you craft and personalize it.

Cool thoughtsssss~
My weird AI take: i hope it transitions from a world burning generative tool, to a personalized streamlining enablement process. Using AI to make an image is silly and bad. Using it to run an analysis on some data makes way more sense, and should not use nearly as much energy.

Finally reading @quinnae.com's Log Off and it's as good as I thought it would be. The book underscores a lot of things I have felt and discussed about social media IRL, but with a lot more crispness and insight. Almost cried more than once, too, cause SHEESH.

Still parsing all the things that went so well about the tenth @gdocexpo.com. Probably will be for a long time.
It was especially meaningful to receive a token of appreciation from the home that I love. Grateful for everyone who had helped make 2025 the best version of the Expo yet. 🙏🏾💖
