ONE DARK PATTERN TO RULE THEM ALL.
I get that ads are necessary, but when the difference is so subtle, it takes real mental effort to find the links that are actually relevant to my search!

Language Shapes Our Conversations
I've found that saying "That's not factual" instead of "That's not TRUE" opens conversation without triggering defensiveness or the appearance of attacking integrity.
Small language shift, big impact on constructive dialogue. #Communication #LanguageMatters

Post-election, friends on both sides are talking about consciously “redesigning” feeds to tune out political "news".
ALL feel misled by media—not through lies, but selective coverage—feeling betrayed by tech that seems more about influence than fact-based news.
Anyone else tuning their algorithms?

App Relationship Status: I look forward to @Spotify Discover Weekly playlist, but lately our algorithm doesn't know me at all! I am not being heard. I think I just 'faked it', sprinted through the entire list in under 2 min. I need to be sweet-listed!

AI has impacted the design landscape, most notably with the flood of pseudo-design thought leaders. No value, no authenticity, no real insights—just pure, generic, regurgitated advice and buzzwords.

Over the past 8 months, I've taken a brief step back from my career for personal pursuits. It has been an amazing journey of personal development, self-reflection, and growth.
In that time I have found mentoring to be an amazing opportunity to pay it forward, reflect, share, and serve others.

Just entered month 8 of the job search after a layoff... I can finally feel myself feeling closer. I'm celebrating that today 🙏
Celebrating the small wins is what has kept me going in this phase of uncertainty and for the first time after a long time, I feel excited about what's to come! ✨

#lil = Lessons I’ve Learned:
As a leader in software design I failed to broadly network. I believed focusing solely on internal matters was key to MY success.
Prioritizing organization above myself was a MISTAKE that cost me valuable personal opportunities in networking and learning from others
