I’m designing solutions for a better life.

I am in my 50s, and want to know,
how do you know what you know?

This is the question David asked me. He adds, "Sometimes I just feel like I know nothing after watching these videos. Where did you learn so much, books, working experience, school?"

My response (expanded version)—

I've had the benefit of a few things happening in my life
which have really helped me to grow.

1. Started a business in 1995 @BlindLA (as a new 23yr. old graduate). Lots of real world experience working as a director/designer in the advertising industry. It was a highly competitive market place and how I learned to do sales calls, write proposals, solve problems, and lead teams.

2. Hired a business coach (13+ years) in the early 2000s. I met with the late @keir74 every single week for 13 years! Every time I thought I was stuck, Keir would reframe the problem and he made the answer so simple. Aside from teaching me how to run a business, he made sure it didn't come at the cost of my marriage.

3. Taught at @artcenteredu /@OtisCollege for 15+ years. If you want to get good at anything, you have to put in the reps. While at ArtCenter, I had the pleasure of working w/ Sam Holtzman who taught me a new way of teaching. He called it "scaffolding to autonomy" which is a fancy way of getting students to discover the answer on their own vs. telling them.

4. Started working with a family therapist (Joan Lightfoot). Although I had only met with her a dozen times, I learned so much about belief systems, birth order, family trauma, opening myself to my emotions, how to raise children, doing things that are perceived as "helpful", and why I was a "caretaker". Even more important, I got to watch her work, while she was working on me. She asked amazing questions and it was masterclass in coaching/therapy.

5. Started producing content in 2014 w/ my classmate @josecaballer. It's true what you learn in the pursuit of teaching others. All my years teaching prepared me to make content and how to manage the energy of a room.

6. Read a ton of books. Admittedly, I didn't reach much in my 30s. But I'm making up for lost time. I don't read to consume. I don't read to apply. I read to teach. When I'm interested in something, I don't just read a book or watch a video. I read books from other authors to compare and contrast. I study.

7. Seek teachers. Interviewing authors & notable people for our Podcast and YouTube channel. Most underrated way to pick the brain of people you admire (free coaching life hack). I ask questions to benefit me, and others get to learn as well.

8. Coaching other people. I love working through the friction of why people are stuck. When I discover a new mental road block/limiting belief, I think that there must be other people who think this same way. I'm constantly testing frameworks and story structures. I created the #FuturPro Group just so I can practice.

My first design+dev job in 2001 paid $250 per month.

Then, as companies became "design driven" the wages started to increase.

Now they're falling back down again.

If you're in it just for the money I have some bad news.
If you love making stuff then go for it!

Open source competition is ON.
I'm very interested to see how this pans out.
Initially, I thought that not being open source is how Webflow is beating WordPress. But now? I'm not sure.
What do you think?

Looking for the right font...

[IxDF - Interaction Design Foundation @ixdf_org]

Colors are powerful tools that every designer should utilize effectively. They can be used to persuade users to perform a certain action, express an emotion, or communicate with the users.

🔎 Humans respond to colors in three different ways:

Anyone else love sections in Figma?

@miggi takes it one step further to show you how to use sections for prototyping.

@InstagramComms can you reply please

[Comma Design Studio @commadesign_de]

@InstagramComms Hello Instagram,

I did a factory reset to my phone and the app didn't make a backup for the codes I use to open the app. I tried to open it from my laptop and my phone doesn't work because I need the authenticator app. So what should I do ???
