Every time you’re tempted to slack off or do or be a little less than you could, remember that you are a person of integrity who lives by the simple creed: do what you said you would do, when you said you would do it, the way you said you would do it.

To make something *truly* great, you always have to put in more time and effort than you want.
The good news is most don’t, so if you do, it’s all the more likely it’ll stand out.

Chinua Achebe had no idea how much things were holding up when he thought things had fallen apart.
One thing I’ve found with AI-generated websites is that they lack the kind of creative direction that feels authentic. I think it’s mostly because art needs the unexpected to be appealing. AI lacks the emotional intent that drives original creativity
And this applies across all creative domains like music, film, visual art, product design. For example, AI can generate compositions that sound like Adele but it won’t have the emotional nuances, reasons, decisions, and creativity that inspire them

So one cold start and one warm start? This is dishonest
One of the reasons Shopify rewrote their mobile apps from React Native into native was to improve performance metrics like startu p time. Here's the new, optimized, native Shopify Shop app compared to the same thing in Exact. The Exact version is talking to the same GraphQL API and fetching the same data. (Yes, I'm sure Shopify could make their Swift app as fast to startup with some time and tokens.)

At the start of this year, I decided to expand the scope of my work beyond traditional design.
This comes after more than 11 years of building visual systems, working on design automation workflows and exploring how AI could change creative production, I kept running into problems that couldn’t be solved with design alone.
I wanted to understand what was happening under the hood.
So I spent the last several months reading research papers, learning about machine learning, studying how computers understand and interpret visual information, and exploring where my experience as a designer could contribute to some of the open problems in applied visual AI research.
Along the way, I’ve been building products, experimenting with different models, training some of mine and working through some pretty interesting technical challenges.
It’s been a process of connecting two worlds I find increasingly difficult to separate: design and machine intelligence.
I’m bringing all of that work together in a new portfolio.
This is a reflection of how my practice has evolved, the things I’m building, technical problems I’m solving, and how I think about the future of design as AI continues to change it.
There’s a lot more to come.

Designed with
@paper: layout design, asset prep and visual explorations.
@fal: All the GenAI models I needed for 3d/motion assets and editing.
@inflight: feedback, breakpoint tests and content design.
Built with @OpenAI gpt 5.3 Sol and @claudeai Opus 5.5 in @conductor_build (using blender, playwright and illustrator)

Apple has gotten away with a lot of inconvenient design decisions in iMessage. Finding a conversation being the biggest concern
Still can’t understand why replies on slack are thread-only. Wish you could quote a reply, especially inside a thread 🤷🏽♂️
Loved Sam Smith even more after listening to him on my favorite podcast
