XD Lead at Allata • Also designing things at Pixelight Creative

A couple clients told me today that their meeting with me is the highlight of their week because they get to feel creative and involved in the design process.

Me: 🥹

Wish there was an official iPad dock. Something I could easily slip my iPad Pro into for charging whenever convenient.

I think Google has the right idea here.

I was promised a sci-fi future where robots would do all the menial tasks so that humans could focus on creating art and instead you assholes built robots to do the art so we all have to fight over the jobs doing menial tasks, good job.
Lemon, it’s Monday.
Just so you know, I will never attend an optional meeting. So… maybe don’t even invite me.

I don't want an app to get 'content’ from 'creators’ 🤮, I just want a decent music discovery service to augment my own physical and digital collection. 👎

Has Apple rewritten their Music app like they promised yet?

I could never understand how DJ Khaled has as big a career as he does; he can't sing, rap, or dance, and doesn't even write (or sometimes even produce!) the songs released under his name. He's not conventionally attractive, and the meme value of his early-Snapchat-era "🔑" thing is long gone. But then, talking to multiple folks in the industry, literally *everyone* said how much they love working with Khaled. Like, effusively positive about him. I suppose that is a major key lesson!
