Germinal by Émile Zola ⛏️
„If people can just love each other a bit, they can be so happy“
A timeless book about inequality, conflict, and humanity’s beastly relapses, told with ruthless pessimism and honesty.
A button isn't just a button anymore. A small interaction has consequences outside the screen. You're designing the relationship between a person and a machine.
In SaaS, you think about flows, states, and business logic. With HMI, you have a human in the loop, a physical machine, sensors, timing, and real-world safety.
Day 4 of reading robotics & HMI whitepapers. Turns out, design systems for physical machines hit very different. Anyway, I guess I’m a robot designer now 🦾
Us Against You by Fredrik Backman 🏒
“Everyone is a hundred different things, but in other people’s eyes we usually get the chance to be only one of them.”
Not just a hockey book, it’s about love, family, community, pain, loyalty, and finding yourself. Deeply moving.
The Diary of a Young Girl. Anne Frank 👧🏻
“Where there's hope, there's life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.”
This book isn’t for enjoyment but to understand Holocaust hardships. It shows the world at its worst and that war brings only suffering.

Shabbat Shalom! Reflecting on Bereshit, the beginning of all design.
As a UX designer, I’m reminded that every great creation starts with light, order, and purpose. ✨
UX design runs on two things: a solid design system and a stronger cup of coffee. Without one, everything falls apart. Without the other, nothing starts. ☕️
Just finished watching „The Life of Chuck“.
It gently reveals that every life, however ordinary, can contain an entire universe, and its passing can feel like the loss of a whole world, maybe the only one that truly matters to you. 10/10
