Type design is spending literal hours drawing different variations of a single character until it feels right and then when you’re done moving onto the next character and perfectly capturing the vibe you’re after on the first try

the website garden I planted for the HTML Review's 2nd issue is out now :)

html garden is an attempt to imagine what a "seasonal website" looks like, one that rewards visitors for coming back and noticing the subtle change and patina of the web.

still working on this thing, but happy with the progress so far :3

assignment 1 from my typography class!

i used LeMo to create the skeleton and establish the spacing, placed scans of the letters as the background glyphs, and then digitized in glyphs 3.

my feedback was to think about the tool and how it would draw.

Today was really tough. I wasn’t affected by the layoffs but sadly had to see some really talented folks leave wealthsimple today

If anyone is currently hiring UX researchers, content designers, or engineers, I’d be happy to connect you to some incredible people ❤️

very excited for @felt for their public launch, and also honored they brought me back to evolve the brand and website.

i've gotten a chance to use the tool and it's seriously going to change how we look and interact with maps.

This whole "the NYT ruined Wordle!" thing is a great case study in confirmation bias. It also gives us some insight into human nature that helps explain how conspiracy theories work.

my hot take is some smart young ppl have to pursue these roles in order to move up in their economic situation and provide themselves with the capital to seek therapy or support their families, etc. But yes hopefully they can grow outta that and into their truth!! 🌱❤️

[Molly Mielke McCarthy @mollyfmielke]

so sick of seeing smart young ppl pursue regular rat races but then paint their morally-murky work as being mission-driven in order to signal that they're a good person. subtly lying to yourself creates reality distortion ripples that degrade your ability to see solutions clearly
