Fast drawing

On the topic of drawing on the iPad, It strikes me that I don’t use the Apple Notes quick draw feature. You tap on the iPad with the pencil and it instantly opens Apple Notes; that’s pretty sweet. I just wish that I could do it with Freeform

Doing something hard

For the last six months I've been working with a small team to build up something new. We're working within a larger startup with a beloved product, and looking at ways to increase delight and impact for users. The thing I'm seeing, and reminded

Apple Pencil Pro first look

Last night I got to test out the new Apple Pencil Pro for the first time. Though I've heard many writers and podcasters comment on the new iPads, I've been hoping for a review on how the Pencil works for designers. More specifically, I'm

The best smoothie

Every day, for the last few years, I've made a smoothie to replace breakfast. Here's the recipe for others who may be interested. It was shared with me by a local coffee shop, and I've tweaked the ingredients a bit based on what I

What rest brings

I ended the week exhausted. I’d pushed every bit of my energy to the last moment, gave everything I had, then shut it all down. Now; unlike in times past that did not mean pushing all nighters. It didn’t mean pushing forward every waking moment. However, it meant

Creating without a feedback loop

I like to make things, to tinker, to think, to create. However, I don’t think the things I make can really drive me to last very long if I don’t have some kind of external feedback loop. Maybe that’s the difference between something built for a marketplace
