observations on parenting & design / labels: mom, senior product design manager @joinhandshake, formerly @asana, @cloudflare + fashion designer @carolinaherrera

When I joined a year ago, we were 10 people, no joke. 🤯 Another productive, successful and fun design offsite notch on the @joinHandshake design team’s belt! 🎉

@jamdotdev you two are hilarious @thedanigrant @_irtefa

[Philina Fan @skyeezfalling]

I have no desire to ever go back to the pre-pandemic way of working. It’s vital to meet live though. At @joinHandshake off-sites ensure we bond in ways that can’t be done on @Zoom and it is truly transformative for the team. Talented designers alert 🚨! We’re hiring, so ping me!

As a former fashion designer, I love that this was an article in @voguemagazine. I used to work with these ladies and I’m so glad the spotlight is being placed on them now. Well deserved!

Emmy-nominated writer, producer, director & actor @MindyKaling started out as an intern once, too!

Hear how her unique perspective as a "first,” “other,” and “only” paved the foundation for her wildly successful career, this year at #HandshakeAccess2022: https://t.co/Z2jiVvuSka

@tomkit08 Hi @tomkit08 it's a google sheet spreadsheet lol

[Philina Fan @skyeezfalling]

People think product designers are creating UI 95% of the time. I can tell you that 60-70% of my design time is spent in something like this (remember when you thought you escaped spreadsheets by going to art school? 🙈):

Not everybody can afford a paid course, so I am working on a free course for people to get them started as product designers.

17 days with practical information on almost every touchpoint.

If enough interest will try to launch it next week?

anyone else feel like they need to completely re learn auto layout ☠️

@googlecalendar I tried it on Safari and it doesn't have the same issue!

[Philina Fan @skyeezfalling]

this has to be a bug right @googlecalendar? I'm not sure this is accessible:

My day is made: Getting an out-of-cycle positive review from a colleague on @LatticeHQ. I love this feature in helping people proliferate love around the company! 🥰

This has always been my favorite public transportation in Hong Kong. This news it the most appalling new ever; how much more bad news can I take from my hometown?! 😭
