I’m going to admit it. I’m tired. I’m juggling a lot at the moment and finding it difficult to keep the train on the tracks. Doing my best, and I’m happy with this batch of links for you all. Industrial Design Eloi Goulhot’s Mallet-Based Walnut CrackerWalnuts are extraordinarily tough nuts to crack. Here in the […]
This post is a little late today because I spent most of last night deep in one of my side projects, Tails Of…, designing a new t-shirt. I tinkered with the design for hours and hours. I don’t think it’s there yet; it needs more time. This is what we do. I will spend hundreds […]
There’s a lot happening in the world right now, and I’m not here to solve it, but I can’t ignore it either. Things feel heavy, with inequity, injustice, and division all around us. These posts are my way of celebrating positive creative output. Sometimes that means sharing stories that are tough to read or that […]

It guides attention, reinforces brand personality, and can make an interface feel more responsive.

I’ve been on the road this past week, but I’ve got a fresh batch for you, short and sweet. The team at Adobe Express is teaming up with me to give one lucky reader a free year of the product. Share, link, and comment for your chance to snag it. This week’s post is sponsored […]

I’ve been messing around with some of the vibe‑coding tools lately, and as a designer, I’ve found them empowering. I’m firmly in the “AI is a tool” camp. But here’s […]
I almost took this week off. You would all survive without these links–I’m certain. I’ll find a time for a Summer break soon, but the link show must go on. In the meantime, if you are struggling to find work and would like someone to look over your resume, portfolio, and such, I’m still offering […]
How do you explain the world when it fails to make sense daily? This year has been a wild ride and shows no signs of stopping. I’m doing the things I can do, but it’s hard. At least there’s cool stuff to look at. Tools GraintouchA drawing app with the soul of print. Inspired by […]
We’re deep in it now. Summer is in full swing, though the days are already getting shorter (at least where I live). I’m starting to lose track of things. The link show rolls on. Someone asked me recently how long I’ve been doing these weekly posts, and I had to look it up: over eight […]
