To accompany your mid-day coffee, my dialogue w/ Jeremy Miller on the Beyond UX Design Podcast is live. And we get into it, friends:

Covering everything from the core question of "why am I a designer in the first place?", to being able to find the best values / culture / environment-based fit for you to do your best work, we leave no stone uncovered as you head into 2024—and the next step of your evolution.

To accompany your morning ☕️:

"Now more than ever: the time of the Design Community Portal is (once again) upon us."

In a time when millions of daily active users have fled Twitter, the (online) design community has become increasingly fragmented.

Synthesizing older Design Community Portal thinking with newer decentralized methods, perhaps there’s a way to not only bring us closer together—but also push design and connection forward.

9 years ago today, some of my fellow icon designers and I, via The Dead Pixel Society, released the Pixel Parade, an #8bit homage to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Here are a few selections from that grouping, in all their #pixelart glory.
