Reflecting on everyday life in a few words. From my perspective.
“Can we add a setting for that?” slowly kills the product. The default response to feature requests should be “no”.
What you don’t build is as important as what you ship. If an issue keeps coming back, ask “why”. And if that answer resonates, start digging.

Can we stop adding fancy light bulb switches to our apps and websites? It’s 2026. We have a system preference for that. Just use it already.

Starting a new job as a product designer. Will it be as fulfilling as I hope it to be? Who knows. For now, it feels like the perfect match.

On this blog, my website and other personal documents, I’m currently using this color palette: a slightly-off white for background, a dark green-black for text and moss-grey for sub-text, and a bright orange for interaction.
