Today I finally figured out what my goal for 2024 is… The strength and confidence to unapologetically share my ideas, the grace to continue learning, and the continued pursuance of finding beauty in the minutia.
If I'm integrated into the team for a period of time? Yeah, it's a job that's going on my LinkedIn.
But even if it wasn't, LinkedIn is essentially a way to keep track of where you've worked and/or who your clients are. So what's wrong with allowing it to speak for you?

Hello design frens!
Are we all going to Config this year? I can actually make it this year, so I'm probably going to go. Anyone else??
It's amazing how no one on X is talking about the Epstein survivors naming names, but it's alllllll over Threads 👀
FINALLY
you can now clip your favourite scenes on @netflix
easily one of the coolest prototypes I got to build this year

my issue with “clean” web design (sorry Alex, using your example as stand-in for a bigger trend) is that from a branding pov, there’s very little that’s ownable by the brand. squint and it could be anything.
branding works when you remember something after you leave. unique color combo, pattern, illustration style, a detail in the logo system… but in many “clean” sites, those hooks are missing. The visual system (of which the logo is just a small part) misses an edge.
yes, it’s well-spaced, structured, minimal, but a bit... plain.
which basically proves the paradox: making minimal brands and sites is WAY harder than making maximalist ones.
I don’t know if design Twitter understands what clean design is.
For me, this is clean.
Brand and web design by me.

OpenAI fired this 23-year-old from their Superalignment team.
But he turned his insider knowledge into a $1.5B fund that's outperforming Wall Street by 700% this year.
He says maybe ~200 people in SF understand what's *actually* happening in AI right now.
Here's his thesis: 🧵

Notion checks all my boxes fwiw. It's a good time to be here, and we're hiring (NYC + SF)
Just thinking about the time my middle school (300 students) had 18 students with my name (or thereabouts): Anna (ahh-nnuh), Anna (aww-nnuh), Ana, Anahita, Anastasia … and we all somehow had the same classes.
These also don't include the Anne's, Annie's or Ann's…
Thanks everyone who have reached out and offered their support and congratulations!
Riley is not so happy about it, but I'm hoping she'll come around
