I remember arriving in Chicago a fresh design graduate and feeling like I didn't know any of the major design studios in the city.

Over the weekend, I started a side project called Studio Crawl that hopes to solve that.

Check it out!

It's a rare moment when Crayonette fits perfectly AND the client is game. Looking fresh, Orange Conference.

What a treasure trove of design references.

@SteveWolfDesign I thought their stuff was looking nicer. The logo design is gorgeous

@TomFrankly Dang... will do :)

For my newest @itsnicethat column, I wrote about designers and studios opening IRL businesses, the fantasy of being your own client, and the potential that design has to benefit—or gentrify—communities 🏙️ https://t.co/XngQWKXsxC

@mrbenburns_ Just read the whole thing. Thank you, Ben. Shop time in particular feels like a good solution for me at the moment.

@mrbenburns_ Hammer's great, but I don't find it relaxing in any way 🤣

[Matthew James @mtthwjmsdsgn]

@mrbenburns_ Do you choose your index funds or do you favor something like a target date fund?

[Matthew James @mtthwjmsdsgn]

@mrbenburns_ That's the conclusion my wife and I came to. If anything, we'd like to reach a point financially where we feel that we have more choices for how we spend our time.

[Matthew James @mtthwjmsdsgn]

@mrbenburns_ I like the idea of helping the voiceless speak. I never felt much of a desire to express myself through design in particular. Music maybe. But not design.

[Matthew James @mtthwjmsdsgn]

@mrbenburns_ I feel too busy working on freelance projects.

One of the best traits a designer can have…

Be easy to work with.

I hate when I find out someone whose taste I respected has one of those muppet dogs
