Is it still #PortfolioDay ?

@TyroneC__ You should qualify! Product, brand & web design is included

@anna_paschenko I'm not yet but i will definitely look into this thank you! Even though i'm not sure if i would qualify since i mainly do product design retainer work which could be seen as more "technical" i guess. But i'll check that out thanks Anna!

Being self-employed in germany is the endboss. If you can make it here you can make it anywhere. I pay: - 35-40% tax - 1.300€ in health insurance / month Every. Single. Month. Paying for health insurance is like renting a second flat that i never use. This is a ton of pressure for smaller entrepreneurs on top of all the bureaucracy you have to tackle. And no the healthcare system is not as good as you think.

@adamho @fal @gorkem @burkaygur Congrats!

It’s been a long time coming, but I’m excited to join @fal as the new Head of Design. I’ve been collaborating with @gorkem and @burkaygur on the fal brand closely over the past few years, so it all made (too) much sense to continue this journey on a more permanent basis (and they could pull me out of FT-retirement). Excited to explore the space of generative media and work alongside the brightest minds. As for the studio, I’ll be still taking on projects under my studio still but on a much much more limited basis. 😌

@wade_burrell @zapier Congrats!

Personal update: Today is my first day at @zapier. I’ve joined to lead the narrative, positioning, and GTM strategy of their MCP product. Excited to get closer to AI. Agentic and autonomous is the future and Zapier is primed to win.

Felt nostalgic and made some 3D icons heavily inspired by PlayStation aesthetics.

@designbyjake_ Love this so much!

Lavender or Grey?

@alexnnd hi!

Can you reply to this post? I think I’m shadow banned or something! 😱

RECAP [2025] ✨

@kajdax What a fun year!

@kajdax finally!

@LawrenceChiu14 @dYdXmerch 😍

gm. The more you guys tag @dYdXmerch and say we want Plushies the higher the chance we get them!

@AlexAperios learned the hard way this year - no amount of money is worth it. time + health > extra $$

I've been thinking a lot recently about what figure a month will genuinely be enough to make me happy. 10k, 20k, 30k, 100k? I well on the way to higher numbers but so is the added stress. I've worked more than I have ever in my life, my sleep has suffered, I rush gym sessions and burnt out is becoming evident. While I am very driven person, I also love to be present, travel, enjoy film, music events and family. Balance seems possible but not without sacrificing a level of finance. So for the people that manage 100k months (I'm talking solo profit, not studios). How tf do you do it and do you have a life?

@srioz all smooth, thanks!

@anna_paschenko Hope everything went well!!

@mutlu82 @putnamstudio @Dropbox that means a lot! those were magic days

As we race toward a future of AI generated art, illustration, photography - there will come a point where very little of what is 'new' will be made by human hands. Thinking back to the awe of seeing @putnamstudio's illustrations for @Dropbox for the first time, or the 3D work that @anna_paschenko and @kajdax did at @Pitch or anything @justinpervorse did at @Mailchimp or @slaterdesign at @asana . The impact they had across product and brand design in SaaS was profound. Not sure we'll see too many more of those moments again. We're gaining a ton, but losing something in the process...

@dYdX 🔥

The first-ever $DYDX Buyback Program is here 🚨 Starting today, 25% of dYdX net protocol fees will be used to buy back DYDX tokens from the open market every month—reinforcing long-term commitment to the ecosystem. More products. More growth. More value.

@shoejaat Whatever is next, you’re gonna crush it!

After 3.5 incredible years, I made the decision to wrap up my journey at Coinbase last week. Grateful for all the people, and experiences that shaped my journey. What’s next? Still figuring it out, but excited to explore new ideas and dive into some self-initiated projects.

@dielealc 😍

Sketch vs. Final This was an old sketch. My idea was to create a 3D version, but I never found the time, so I decided to make it in vector since I hadn’t done vector illustration in a long time. I'm still thinking about doing it in 3D, though.😅
