my twitter dms are unlike anything i've ever seen

designers: i just threw this together the portfolio: custom typography, thoughtful motion, immaculate spacing, a brand system, and a fully coded website okay!

nothing is more humbling than being a designer and realizing the ugly version converts better

once you learn about kerning you can never be normal again

the ROI of moving to nyc is the tweets you get out of it

if you're interviewing for a role involving AI, don't just add “used AI” to your process girl we're all "using AI" be ready to explain where AI actually helped, what tools you used, what you still did yourself, and how it changed your workflow

nyc is just a bunch of people who are really good at their jobs and really bad at answering texts

designers looking for jobs in another city: put your target location on your linkedin profile and resume location filters are real. don't make someone guess whether you're open to moving...

linkedin is where i go to learn about people x is where i go to see what they're thinking

please stop treating your linkedin profile like a resume you uploaded once and abandoned

thank god drafted tweets save without internet because i write some crazy stuff on the subway

i love working with content designers because they actually read job descriptions 😏

interview prep that actually matters: know what the company does know why you want to work there know your own projects well enough to explain the decisions you made

linkedin has made me a professional yapper with a calendar link

i love when people are genuinely excited about their jobs tell me about your niche little industry tell me about your spreadsheet tell me everything !!!!!!

design seniors graduating without a job lined up: sleep for a week put your portfolio link where recruiters can actually find it get to the good screens in your case studies faster start having coffee chats post your work online get ready for january hiring you have time diva

empath so hard i feel bad for my bus when it breaks down like he just couldn’t make it to the next stop 🥹
