after years freelancing as a generalist, robinhood feels like focusing everything into one point. all that range, finally aimed at one thing. both cool and uncomfortable

[raf @rafcespedes]

happy to be starting a new chapter @robinhoodapp

i’ve spent the last few years freelancing and this felt like a much needed change. everyone i’ve met from robinhood so far has been nothing short of amazing (shoutout @shoejaat)

will be trying my best to post more on x going forward. if you’re interested in visual design and design tooling definitely follow along

i've been messing with a tool i built and it's turned out to be genuinely useful. it's my attempt at making the pile of references we all collect actually reachable when we need them most.

wrote about why i'm building it. link in comments.

still in alpha, but i'm opening it up to a few people soon. free for now. let me know if you're interested.

i've been in a perpetual flow state while building mentee

[raf @rafcespedes]

saved is where ideas go to die

[raf @rafcespedes]

building mentee, more details soon

[raf @rafcespedes]

i'm genuinely addicted to building my own workflow and design tools

hard to build genuinely useful agentic apps without reaching into people's personal data

the fix might be everyone running their own harness, deploying their own tools, so the data remains theirs
