I work in #edtech and it is a very humbling experience. 6 yrs in learning how harmful archaic, beaurocratic tech practices in public schools can be detrimental to progress in education - makes me realize i can't sit back + design for just any industry. I need to make an impact.

@veranmiller totally overwhelmed. I'm Russian born US raised and it is near impossible to find anything from the old country :( . Where does one start?!

Nobody from California seriously wants to #RecallGavinNewsom.

This is just a bunch of out-of-state (and possibly Russian) assholes.

@314UXHolly @JoAnn_Stores a website of a hobby store? are we supposed to be surprised that its grade A crap?

[Anna Arsenault @defragmybrain]

@radicallyrach totally hentai-y

@jina @mint way too many apps think i give a shit about them right now.

They also have a set of beautiful spray bottles that have no ugly ads on them, so you can display them in the home. Go check out https://t.co/hO3Ix7af0u and make the world a little less plastic.

Shameless plug about Blueland cleaning products. Some of you may know ive been slowly striving for a zero-waste home and a generally eco-friendly home. This is especially challenging in the COVID era because reusable stuff becomes a liability when so many surfaces can be harmful.

[Anna Arsenault @defragmybrain]

Anyway, each pill is $2, is shipped in a recyclable paper envelope. Think about it. water you have at home, and most cleaners cost more. For the majority of the cleaning needed at home, the cleaners are ideal. I can't stress enough how mindblowing this revelation is to me.

@radicallyrach i'm very fortunate that i do not use email for anything except signing up for stuff :D working internally allows me to communicate thru slack + others only

@PavelASamsonov just had the most #coldhardfacts convo abt how aesthetics is overrated & incredibly subjective. that design =abt objective evidence-informed problem solving. visual design that dsnt solve a problem (& usually instead creates one) is not design but decoration. i feel attacked.

[Anna Arsenault @defragmybrain]

@zyumbik thanks Gleb! totally got this. unfortunately not as cute looking, but this would be it.

[Anna Arsenault @defragmybrain]

which scale is most appealing and also reads like "range"? #designers @figmadesign #dataviz

[Anna Arsenault @defragmybrain]

Going with option 2 using more explicit language, less reliance on the legend. #UI #UX #interfacedesign #saas

[Anna Arsenault @defragmybrain]

@conniechiiiwa mmmm love that stuff. Like i know we're in quarantine but thats some serious snackage. I'm indoors alot and i should probably be more conscious of the eating habits #facepalm

[Anna Arsenault @defragmybrain]

omg guys this is bad pantry UX. Like unless you eat popcorn everyday..... don't put it within arms reach.. sheesh

[Shweta @Shwetangles]

Why didn't I marry a hairdresser or a baker. I did not think this through.

[Anna Arsenault @defragmybrain]

@DougCollinsUX i work in edtech. Clearly right now schools are closed, but we are reminding our customers that shit will hit the fan if they don't prep for when schools reopen. I want to make their experience going back to schools seamless!

[Anna Arsenault @defragmybrain]

as my colleague told me, the graphic looks like " a snake ate a hamster". She's not wrong, but i'm struggling to find a better visual for this particular type of graphic while maintaining our usual colorful, bubbly style. Thoughts?

[Anna Arsenault @defragmybrain]

hey #UI #UX #design friends, help me make this #dataviz graph understandable. What isn't shown is that upon hovering on any of the sections in the original version, you get a description and values of range. I decided to move that to the legend as shown below.

[Anna Arsenault @defragmybrain]

now imagine there are 200 of these range charts, each one having different 'ranges' for the color bands. This is why i have the numbers explicitly written below the colors.
