Tinnitus help

Apple just worked with the University of Michigan to conduct the largest study to date of tinnitus. While I don’t know what this means long term, it seems to see a baseline to understand just how much tinnitus affects people. I want to look more into Apple’s Research

Apple Notes Drawing

While at the Apple store I was re-inspired to try the tap-to-wake function on an iPad with the Apple Pencil. It’s pretty slick. In an instant you’re in a new Apple Notes sketching away. I tested the idea out today with an idea I had for a design

On defense of (some) meetings

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

Resumes aren't story telling

Resumes set a baseline for what you did or did not do during your career. They are an outline to look at, but they don’t represent the true color and story of a person. People are so varied in their journeys. On paper a resume looks like a linear
