Something Sam Peitz said to me this week brought back a lot of these memories

“If you share the things you’re really passionate about, the right people will find you”

So ya... share the work you want to get hired for :)

Designing anatomy study tools for pre-med students ended up being the foot in the door I needed

And eventually that experience helped me land the role as the founding designer at Maven

That little set of three mockups changed everything for me :)

Months later someone found those designs on Dribble and I received an offer from a company called Bootcamp to lead design on a new product suite!

✅ Good news: I was working in education

😵‍💫 Bad news: Cadavers make me nauseous lol

As soon as I graduated college I knew I wanted to work in education

But 5+ years into my career I hadn't taken a single step

So one afternoon I mocked up some ideas for a homeschooling product

This ~2 hour design exercise ended up creating an inflection point in my career 👇

Been following along with Builder ✌️

I like thinking (and writing) about the future of design

If you like it too then you'll probably enjoy my newsletter along with 10k+ other designers 🫶

Software is about to get a LOT more personalized

And on the heels of AI is a new spatial medium! What does an AR art museum built entirely out of dynamic shaders look like?

I don’t know… but I’m excited to live in a world where the lines between art and product design begin to blur :)

What happens when anyone can spend a single afternoon creating an app that is designed specifically for their grandma?

Products like that can tap into a level of human expression that simply doesn’t exist in our scale-dictated world.

And this is only the beginning…

I'm doing a little write up of everything I learned over our 2 convos and sharing it out to 10k+ designers tomorrow AM
