I can’t seem to escape baby products. From my first internship to my first project at ELEVEN, I’ve learned far too much about parenting for someone without kids! #designsky #idsketching #design #industrialdesign #productdesign

The craziest thing about the AI boosters is when they say “you can’t do this without AI” “I can’t make an event flyer without AI” when we all remember just 3 years ago how we all got along fine without it.

I can't believe how quickly all these people became terminally AI-brained to the point that the concept of being forced to do their own research with their own brain feels like punishment

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters
All you do is take all the sex out, and use little short words, and little dumb ideas, and don't be too scary, and be sure there's a happy ending. Right? Nothing to it. Write down. Right on.

If you do all that, you might even write Jonathan Livingston Seagull and make twenty billion dollars and have every adult in America reading your book.

But you won't have every kid in America reading your book. They will look at it, and they will see straight through it, with their clear, cold, beady little eyes, and they will put it down, and they will go away. Kids will devour vast amounts of garbage (and it is good for them) but they are not like adults: they have not yet learned to eat plastic.

Not using gen ai does not affect my life at all It’s the easiest boycott I don’t even have to think about it It doesn’t even come to my mind if it weren’t for those ai and tech bros trying to force it on us Don’t let them tell you that you need it They need you!

No one talks about the part of freelancing where you’re trying to schedule multiple clients but everyone keeps shifting their start times around so you can never plan, resource, or balance the work out across the month.

I built a render station last year to speed up the amount of visualization work I've been doing, and I have to say: It's been such a good investment! I wish I had done this when I was in school. #designsky #industrialdesign #blender3d #3Dart #cgi #3d #id #productdesign #rendering

Last September, OXO launched a line of products I worked on for over two years. Truly a labor of love, this baby-led weaning set checks all the boxes for the human-centered design practice that I find fulfilling. #blw #oxo #industrialdesign #idsketching

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

The Big, Beautiful Bill assigns each American a billionaire who will live the
American dream for you. You can check in on your billionaire at intervals and see how he is using your money. Maybe he's building a 19th pool. Maybe he's buying himself some formerly public land! Maybe he's taking a Supreme Court justice on a dream vacation! Maybe he is reupholstering the Statue of Liberty to hide the poem.

These tools were sold under the pretence of making work faster, easier, and producing better products. Yet more often than not, we find they make the world duller, work less meaningful, and the products worse, while enriching the few. And people are catching on.

Info on its energy gobbling should be in every news story about AI. It is newsworthy. It is inseparable from the tech itself.

UX design is in disarray. The idea of design-for-use has been replaced with design-for-sales, and its incentives (make more features so that you have more shit to sell) don't align with user-centered work. In this issue, I investigate the ground-level view of how this happened and how to stop it.

Why design goes wrong and how to set it right, part 1
At the root of design's crisis is an incentives crisis throughout tech. But we have tools that let us cut through the magical thinking of feature factories - if we're willing to use them.

While interning at ELEVEN we had a slow week. One of my mentors—and future coworkers—challenged me to model an organic, hard-to-surface product to learn Rhino. During this week we built such a strong foundation in the program, and now it’s my go to for lightning fast design. #designsky #design
