the real reason it took adobe 15 months to decide not to buy figma is because that's how long it took them to open up acrobat reader to check out the contract
i never thought by age 33 i'd have:
—over $1m in the bank
—multiple profitable businesses
—a $120k rolex
—5 properties
and i was right
i have none of these things
hope this inspired someone

what's my design process?
well, i browse the internet and steal different ideas from other designers and merge them into one "unique" design
then i pretend it's all my idea

me 5 years ago
—no design process
—stares at blank screen for hours
—doubts design ability
—compares work to others
me today
—the same, but i'm 5 years older
hope that inspires someone
my morning routine as a designer
—wake up
—brush teeth
—shower
—make coffee
—make breakfast
—turn on computer
—look at design work from yesterday
—wipe tears of disappointment from my eyes
—draw rectangle 4812
some personal news 💫
i am now joining the X team (formerly Twitter)
i was super happy to give up my previous design role with a salary of $250,000 for an unpaid position at X
i was promised many things, including exposure
and the possibility of more work
wish me luck

Can we change the logo font to Poppins? Oh and make it bigger while you're at it. Also that illustration you spent so much time on, can we make it 3D? What about animation? Can you animate it too?
