I’m looking for work! 👁️👁️ I’m looking for storyboarding or revisionist positions, but I’m also open to work in games! I’m available immediately - I’m fast, funny, and friendly, & I’d love to work with you! Help me feed my cats, they won’t stop screaming!

A little cartoon drawing of me saying “Caitlin Rose Boyle is looking for work! Storyboards and revisions! Six+ years of experience at Nickelodeon, Netflix, and DTVA, with freelance for Titmouse, Cartoon Network, and Pixar.” My cats are drawn off to the side screaming “We’re so HUNGRY!”

somewhat motivated by everyone’s response to Dolly and Tim Curry passing to remark: if you were moved by them be what moves you. Be kind, generous, make weird fucking art, help people, sing bawdy songs and do drag

Here is your Saturday read. This week we talk about the failure of AI-pilled design “leaders.” “If you are truly ‘leading’ there isn’t an asshole in front of you to lick. There’s no cornucopia of future funding within your lips’ reach.” Enjoy. buttondown.com/monteiro/arc...

We're near the ten-year anniversary of this interview, which was viewed as wildly controversial at the time. It led to hit pieces on me from liberal outlets like The New Republic as well as death threats. Now it's seen as conventional wisdom -- but it always was!

🥲 Alas, not quite a Lottie replacement until they make a proper Lottie JSON export, nor a Rive replacement til they have state machines 🤔 Doesn't seem to work together with prototyping unless you get creative with timing, but still need to experiment with this

A mini Figma Motion review: 👏 Pretty easy to use if you're familiar with AE — similar keyboard shortcuts, yee 👏 Pleasantly surprised you can keyframe shaders, but getting to preview it on canvas was near impossible 🤪 👏 Seems cool for simple animated spot illos, micro interactions, motion reels, etc.

It's really time we updated the conventional design process model to be more descriptive. We're in our third diamond era.

PSA for YouTube Creators! Just wanna share this in case you don't want Google to have access to remix your YouTube shorts with GenAI using Gemini! YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY ENROLLED. Here is what it's doing and how to opt out of said option if you don't want your shorts to be remixed with AI.

New year, new stuff — fresh from the oven! 🔥 Earlier last year I got a fun opportunity to make this billboard for @figma.com, and it's finally up! Made entirely in Figma Draw. If you're in SF, go check it out 📸

A billboard made for Figma, located in SF, made with Figma Draw. It features a pencil, rendered with various textures and contorted to represent the messy creative process. The bottom says "Made in Figma by Erica Leong".
