Freeform is the best iPad sketching app

Freeform was the most exciting to come out of WWDC. I saw its potential immediately, and couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I'm a software product designer, and sketch out all of my work on the iPad as a starting point before moving into

Getting my first Apple Watch

I’ve been intrigued by watches my whole life. While I wouldn't consider myself anywhere close to an actual enthusiast - I know just enough to realize I know almost nothing about the industry - I’m quite interested in watches in relation to their impact on technology

Yesterday I got a bug in me and sat down to write. I began the day like most other, with a journaling session. That normally takes me about 7-8 minutes to write a 1,000 words. Most of these sessions are just a brain dump of the day’s activities,
