📣 NEW! I’ve just released the BIGGEST and perhaps most creative project I’ve ever worked on!

A #dataviz article & exploration that dives into the data that connects humans with birds, by looking at how we search for birds.

You are not just a person.
You are 4.3 billion years in the making.
Every atom in your body was forged in stars older than the Earth.
Every cell is the result of an unbroken chain of survival from the first spark of life in a primal ocean to you.
Breathing, thinking, feeling.
You’re not here by chance.
You’re here because the universe wanted to know itself through you.
Existential problems will always exist but never forget your truth.

@align_all Wondering if it’s a coincidence, just now I got a call from one of the Be My Eyes users!

@align_all Truly exceptional service! I’ve been a volunteer and had a chance to help a few in the past!

These aren’t just dots. This is “beautiful” in Braille.
For us, it’s a pattern. For someone who’s visually impaired, it’s how they connect with the world.
Found this amazing app today: apps.apple.com/app/id905177575
Soooo happy to be part of it as a volunteer. Kudos to the creator! ❤️

🌁✍🏼 Design notes from the Bay Area
Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the chance to spend time with designers inside the world’s leading AI companies. A few patterns from those conversations –
✨ Founding designers are joining earlier than ever. They’re often one of the first three hires, defining direction before a PM exists. Their compensation now matches engineering, and so does their influence.
✨ Designers who code are default. It’s no longer up for debate. Many companies now hire only those who can push code and prototype ideas that scale. Design that ships has become the benchmark.
✨ The way design is reviewed has flipped. Build > prototype > deck. Code is the clearest form of design. The closer you are to production, the greater your leverage.
✨ Interfaces are converging, and tools are scrambling to keep up. Voice, text, haptics and canvas are being designed as one continuous system. If you’re not designing across modes, you’re designing in the past.
✨ Adaptability is the hottest signal. The people rising fastest can switch tools, rethink systems, and rewrite workflows in no time. Every few months, the process resets. Each reset rewards agility over tenure.
✨ The hiring landscape is recalibrating. Pedigree, output, and velocity have become the new trifecta. Top teams are filtering for people shaped by high-pressure, high-taste environments. Rigor matters again.
✨ The Bay Area still faces a shortage of exceptional design talent. Studios and startups are assembling remote design teams, pulling in builders from everywhere. It’s a charged moment to be creating.
It’s surreal to see how in small pockets, the next few years of experiences are already taking shape. Work meant to be out in 2028 is being tested today, and designers are at the center of it.
