When I'm not designing, I'm probably watching Lord of the Rings. Read More...

Interrupting the lettering to bring you a #widn po

Interrupting the lettering to bring you a #widn post. Inspired by @jennakutcher and a recent episode of @goaldiggerpodcast to share my journey, not just the destination.
✨
I’m currently enrolled in a 12 week coding bootcamp— this is week 7: Design Week!!!!!!!! Does the number of exclamation points I used convey my level of excitement? I love design already, but I’m learning so many new things. Just really enjoying this time.
.
Our lab time yesterday was spent designing flat, material, and #skeuomorphic buttons in #figma
.
Interesting to play with Figma coming from an Adobe background. I definitely learned where some tools were hiding that I’d been looking for!
.
Swipe to see what’s happening to my L key when I put it on a website with the figma-generated code. Technically I already made a few adjustments to the styling, but come on, L- I believe in you. Plz move ur @$$ onto that button. 👏👏👏

G for Goodnight Saigon 🎶
Don’t zoom in ‘cause the quality is 😒, but at least I learned some new stuff in procreate ✨

A #billyjoel song that starts with the letter F to

A #billyjoel song that starts with the letter F totally stumped me.
🤷‍♀️
I had to browse the discography on @Spotify, but turns out there are 2!
🎶
F is for Falling of the Rain, from Cold Spring Harbor- the OG album & home of one of my all time fave songs(but that will have to wait until the letter T).
☔️
Also I probably should’ve known this forever ago, but I just figured out how to access the blending modes for layers in procreate and that is #groovy bc now my #adobe PS/AI brain GETS IT.
