Reflecting on everyday life in a few words. From my perspective.

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.

And it will certainly open new doors in the future, in a field I feel so deeply connected to.

The new Live Sticker feature of iOS 17 is just incredible. Finally, having kids (or pets) makes sense again!

Back in my second hometown. Feeling nostalgic.

Living in the old town is something special. You just walk out the door, and everything meaningful is a five-minute stroll away—like locally roasted coffee or homemade pie.

Taking some time off with the kids (5 and 1). Planning and logistics are so crucial to make relaxing holidays actually possible. I don’t think childless couples realize that.

A few more years and it will be much easier. Well, at least the logistics part.

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.

I let the orange start with .5 opacity for dynamic/animation. The palette also works in dark mode by flipping ‘text’ and ‘background’ color.

Binge-watching Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad for the… fifth time?

This series is simply incredible. Each and every episode serves a purpose, drives the story, the characters. It is on point. Nuanced.

And don’t get me started on that acting performance. Through and through, lead or support. It’s mind-blowing.

Reviewed and redesigned my personal webpage to a much more minimalistic approach. Pure HTML and CSS.

Reducing clutter and removing features — it’s liberating.

Damn, games can be addictive. Got Slay the Spire+ from Apple Arcade. Spent 12+ hours with it last week, nearly two hours a day. Crazy.

I always try to imagine Adobe’s face realizing that Affinity by Serif is here to stay. Such a comprehensive product, facing one of the biggest digital players with nothing but confidence and quality.

To stay sane in the age of information, I channel all input with Feedly. Gain insight and inspiration without having to spend 2+ hours a day checking multiple resources is a game changer. Welcome back, RSS!

Our brain is damn powerful and can process information with incredible speed, but one unfinished task can block resources like a Chrome browser.

I declutter my brain with Todoist to allow me to focus on one task at a time and get things done.

I don’t like shopping. Thanks to the ‘Permanent Collection’ by Asket, I don’t have to. It’s comfortable, high quality, durable, sustainable—a no-brainer.

My Curt by Ampler Bikes keeps me mobile. It’s one hell of an e-bike and perfect for commuting in urban areas—even with a child seat. I adore it.
