After going through @raphaelsalaja’s course on “Sounds on the Web”, I just can’t imagine any interface without sound to support key interactions. For instance, this puzzle app I use, Spark. Playful sounds here would greatly enhance the already beautiful UI/UX.

the most underrated hire right now is a great product person. when i say product person i'm def not talking about a product manager. perhaps i think there has to be somewhat of a new role. i don't have a good name for it yet but maybe something like "product thinker".. someone with an intuitive grasp of the product as it exists, where it's soft, where it sings, & how to iterate it toward something even sharper. in some sense, this person has to cohesively hold in their head where this product should be 2 years from now & work backwards from that. i say this cuz when building was hard, engineering was the bottleneck & the status hierarchy often reflected that. building is no longer hard. which means the variance in outcomes has shifted almost entirely to judgment on what to build, how to sequence it, & how to talk about it. & the story matters as much as the thing. internally, it organizes the team around a shared model of why. externally, it shapes the interpretive frame users bring to their first experience. you can't retrofit narrative onto a product & expect it to land, it has to be load bearing from the start. the rarest version of this person sits at the intersection of culture & deep technology. someone genuinely bilingual. they know what's technically possible & they know which cultural currents are real vs. ephemeral. that combo is what separates products that feel inevitable from products that feel assembled. before ppl clap back with this person has always been valuable, i know.. i am just saying now they might be the most *important* person in the room. their value compounds like never before.

In honor of today's Spark theme, we have to ask: What's the ultimate heartbreak song? P.S. We all have one tied to a specific era of our lives. 👀 Tomorrow takes that idea somewhere fun. 😏

Built a @playsparkapp day in honor of the @wickedmovie premiere. Today’s theme dives into the history of witches, color theory, and a bit of musical theater magic. 💚💗

Client win 🚀 We partnered with The Mind Company to create the launch video for their new app Spark. Fun, clear, and straight to the point motion that shows exactly what the games feels like. The result? #1 most downloaded education app on the App Store. Proud to have played a part in that launch. 🎮✨
