Design is messiness, it’s always a work in progress. The beauty of sharing this messy process, can be thought provoking for others. It opens up discussions to share lesson learned, and possibilities. Good design always end with more questions. Embrace the uncertainty.

Designing the metaverse is about enabling social relationships, and making inclusive places for communities to thrive. A shift from technology- to relationship-centered design. 💥 @caweena and Sean Donahue

Will the metaverse finally blur the line between our identities? Will people be judged more by their actions and creations rather than their physical appearances?
I love my company 🤣
Officially changing our name to FaceLab
Its been a magical 5 days sabbatical gifted by @metalab. All employees are given a break to rejuvenate! I stayed in the redwood forest, hiked along the coast, and unplugged.

It’s been an honor to follow your journey. Thanks for sharing your braveness, your challenges, and your love as you are dying. I know this is coming but it is still sad and difficult to hear, that an incredible and inspiring scientist had just passed,…
It is getting exhausting when you are going through some challenging hard times in your personal life, and still need to bring 100% presence and professionalism to work, because you don’t want to let people down 😔 These little paws make everything better. #Mentalhealth

It was like love at first sight, I can’t get you out of my mind since we first met. Now I can’t wait to build a life with you! I know it’ll not be easy, as we’ll both need to adjust. I’m not a morning person, but I promise to walk with you everyday. Today’s a big adoption day ❤️

Worth 10 min to read this by @Sarah_Chayes on what's happening in Afghanistan. The role of Pakistan in this whole tragedy and people trying to profit from all these. At the end, the Afghan people are the ones who take the toll. It's really really sad. sarahchayes.org/post/the-ide…
So much of this! Save your sanity to work with people who value you and wants your expertise rather than fighting to educate them. Spend your time wisely.

I know you change my font Twitter! 😡 and I’m not liking this, yet.
You can only roll with the punches for so long, I am feeling a bit like this floor hippo at midweek. Need a nap to restart.
Career growth does not have to be always a vertical path. You can grow horizontally so you can collaborate and influence more cross-disciplinary; You can grow deeply within yourself, so you better understand what really matters to you.

Day 2 of a design leadership workshop, and realized that watching a person to present over zoom for a few hours straight is not effective. I've been constantly distracted by other incoming tasks. Remote workshops need to design for better async learning experience.

The horrible story of how this junior designer (back then) get mistreated is just as hideous as the new Yelp app icon.
I was ruthlessly bullied and gaslit by a designer at a former job. One time, they told me (and another designer responsible for the work) that adding the app name to the icon was redundant and that I didn’t understand good design or the HIGs. They are now a designer at Yelp.
