Last few years, I cried on my bday bcs it was a hss
Today, I was showered w overwhelming love and wishes from so many people, near & afar, who did small & big gestures that made my heart swell up w gratefulness. A lot has changed this year. I'm so glad to be a part of tpot.
Lord forgive me for doing the cardinal sin of designing an app without any components, using icons from different libraries and no design system except colors and fonts ☠☠
God bless people who want to design complex apps within 3 days
The most PREPOSTEROUS corner "protector", an absolute traitor, a most sinful heathen, the Brutus of corner protectors, a knight who promised the world but stabbed my back
I'm so happy today
Designed an algo trading dashboard in dark and light mode, AFTER creating a design system, included some interactions
AND the client approved it all on the first review 🚀🔥💪
Whatsapp, flipkart, telegram, X, with so many bugs that affect users daily : 😎🤠
Clients w an un-launched app and 2% budget trying to micromanange loading icon : 🤬😖😩😤😭
> Forgot my own phone number
> cashier looks at me funny
> Haha 😅 it's a new number 😅 so I'm still not used to it
> I've had it for 6 years now

Sometimes I see bangers and open their profile to follow and get moar
Only to get pleasantly surprised by past me who thought the same and followed them already
Shifted to new office and my plant babies suffered the worst. Went from being in full sun for 6 hrs to soft filtered sunlight for 2-3 hrs
If you read this, take a minute to mourn: prince(fdf), 1st floor (boston fern), pinky (ixora) and office boy (portulaca) 😭

This problem is easily solved by setting aside 15 -20 mins at eod for your *GF*,
on whom you spent quite some time and energy to win over,
knowing full well
that continual time and energy will be required to maintain the relationship
Nobody wants to talk all day.
When I first started tweeting more regularly i used to check my tweet activity 3-4x a day
I couldn't believe 5k people came across my tweets
Now its just vibes n chill, no more engagement chasing 🔥
Once in a while I get to see beautiful work by anon designers and its sooo 😭😍

Hi <recruiter name> 🙋♀️
Hope you're rolling alright 🤪
Saw your 🧵 looking for a <role> and thought I could add value by ⭐<mysterious skill>⭐.
Here's more about me : 📎

Client wants to increase the size of an element on screen
I revise design and send
"We want it full sized", sends reference picture
SMH IT HAS A BORDER.
I add border, keep it same sized
"Yeah this is good".
BRDR WHAT.
designers are so touchy about their work because to create something unique one needs to pour a bit of themselves into the work, hence making it an extended creative expression of themselves.
Must separate work from the self
Sometimes I like to sit in a Sensory void: a room w no sounds, visuals or sensations (lights and fans off, windows closed)
Helps w Sensory overload 🏃♀️
Dear Elon, your app is gaslighting me
Search in dm never works, it says "you are not connected to the internet"
Messages tab shows (1) even when I have 0 unseen messages (even in hidden requests)
Pls fix
Been off Instagram 3 months straight. Daily usage dropped from 5+
hrs/day to <5mins.
My attention span recovered surprisingly quickly.
Why : I simply don't care what others ate/ did/ wore/ listened to/ watched
15 mins of scrolling eComm apps is tiring because you have to make decisions at every scroll
eg.: color,design, price, size etc of every item listed
15 mins of ig reel scrolling is effortless because you just have to consume what the algo throws at you.
