Tiktok told me that if you listen to the Interstellar soundtrack while you work, then you’ll be more focused and…it’s true. Enjoy this 10-hour loop.

Design Ramble
It used to bug me that 95% of the designs + illustrations that I work on never see the light of day. But now? I appreciate them because there are worse tasks I could be doing….like, updating a spreadsheet or having to sit through meetings that could’ve been an email.
As long as I am doing design concepts and being creative, all is well.
Work Laptop Tragedy
The keyboard on my work Macbook Air is slowly dying. I’ll actually need to take it in for repair/replacement now. I’ve had to force caps lock on in settings in order to get lower case to work, an extra space gets added after I hit the “n” key, and now I’m getting weird returns/quotation marks/emojis.
New Headphone Gear
I needed to replace my old headphones — these fit over my ears and the bass is pretty decent. It will be perfect for my impending work commute. I didn’t want to spend a lot in case these get snatched off my head.

Dear Adobe + Pantone,
ya’ll suck.
my Indesign finally bit the Pantone book swatch dust today.
Mushroom Chair
Team Building
Yesterday was the first time where we were all together physically since we all went remote/hybrid. We met up at the National Braille Press to help include braille on a children’s board book. It was a great learning experience.
More Sneakers
…it’s another white pair. But, in my defense, I’ve been wearing the same pair of Adidas Stan Smiths forever. I decided to replace them with a pair of white Nike Gamma Force since the Adidas Sambas have been sold out forever in my size.
These will primarily be my work shoe as I head back into the office a couple days a week.
The husband is so obsessive compulsive about them staying pristine that he’s making me spray a shoe protector over it. Anyhow, I like that they’re not completely white – there’s some off white elements and the gum on the sole to break it all up.
