Struck by the ongoing importance of community no matter the platform. Was great hearing @aekranjc offer her insights today during @figma #Config. Wonder what the power of 10,000 attendees giving back to various SF communities could be like? #FigmaForGood à la #TwitterForGood🤔
While in-house @ Twitter, it was one day a year. We partnered with Bay Area non-profits and volunteered our time in small groups for any number of activities. I personally had a wonderful time at @826valencia with a few Tweeps. Holler if you’re down, Figma, I’ll run it! 🙏🏻

Today is the 20th anniversary of my podcast, Design Matters. On February 4, 2005, I conducted my first interview with John Fulbrook in my office in the Empire State Building. It has been a privilege to interview my (over 700) guests & share those conversations with my listeners!
Are you the type of designer who likes to go wide (as below), go deep, both at different times?
Also culture, process, crit, inspo, field trips, off sites, onboarding and off boarding, internal comms,,,,,,
A week from tomorrow, I begin teaching (for the 7th time!) a grad course called Purpose to Practice.
It’s about finding your purpose — then putting it into practice through story, networking, portfolio presentations, interviewing, negotiating your worth, first 90 days & more.

Week of 12/8 in Sagittarius: Finally an opening. You see into the purple. You can collect the beginnings that see. Some friends and a bright light.
The overlap of personalities as politicians started with… Reagan? Then Schwarzenegger. Now a 2nd Tr*mp era w/Dr. Oz.
I’m fascinated by the idea of popularity as a qualification. Which leads to nominations & now elections. It’s great — if you don’t like critical thinking.
