The new Edition drops today.
It’s a magical time to build. Hope this Edition shows how much fun we’re having.

there’s so much design career advice that abstracts away what the job actually feels like. this is a really honest look at the dynamics and realities of making products inside big tech
if you’re a young designer wanting a peek behind the curtain, I recommend digging through this
New portfolio is live (!!) 15 years in design in New York, compressed into 8 chapters. Less a collection of case studies, more a career told as lived experience.
You're looking at the eight things that shaped the space between who I am and what I like, make, and care about. They just happen to be represented with gummies instead of company logos.
Honestly, this site is just an excuse to share a collection of personal stories because I enjoy writing. Each chapter breaks down into what I expected, what I found, what followed (The Premise, The Reality, The Plot).
It's equal parts reflection, advice, and a look at some things built along the way.

The next generation of commerce deserves a next-generation interface. The Shopify admin has a new look, with easier navigation across key workflows and Sidekick front and center when you need a hand.

The only wrong answer is to do nothing, that’s been my main message to the @shopify design team as AI shifts how we work. I enjoyed diving into this with @designerfund, especially as we invest in apprenticeships in a time when designers are becoming more capable and creative than ever.
“The only wrong answer is to do nothing”
Enjoy our latest AI in Design case study from the @Shopify design team!
This one is crammed with many incredible examples of how they work (the last example made me yell “oh no way” when I first saw it). Lots of teams talk about “a culture that supports experimentation”, but few teams do it at this level.
