After 2 years designing @ProfluentBio, I’m moving on. I’ve worked in tiny studios, huge agencies, and led design at a startup. No matter where, the goal is to pursue discipline and reject shortcuts. Hiring or need freelance? Let’s talk. Volume up. Let this be a reintroduction.

Design Twitter, any tips on slab serifs for text at small sizes? Need something with a bit of character and ideally lower contrast

This is now an election-winning design.
Recently designed the campaign identity for Amber Frederick, a Minneapolis City Council candidate. 38 logos, 56 type iterations, 98 wordmarks. In one week, for free. Politics + design = my dream. Hope it's just the beginning.

Surely one more portfolio website redesign will solve all of life’s problems. Just one more.

Enamored with this writing. It reminds me of B. Traven, the pseudonymous writer of my favorite childhood book. Clicked into this guy’s profile and he’s an author too. It only took me another 45 seconds to buy one of his books. Internet is still cool sometimes.
a few weeks ago my train was delayed by three hours. i wrote a story to the amtrak corporation in response. literature pays

The week I exit a startup job and express that I want to work at a studio, there’s 7 bajillion tweets about startups wanting design talent and how you should pay them $500k salaries. Cool.

Hard to find this diverse range of experience. Who’s going to get to hire Joseph?

Had this idea today… why is there not an Apple Watch face where the rings take the form of a track and use the whole width of the watch face?

“isn’t just x — it’s y” Am I cursed to see AI writing forever
Calling for Zohran Mamdani’s denaturalization isn’t just wrong — it’s blatant Islamophobia. It’s also anti-democratic and a disgrace to the office of a Member of Congress. This Administration's failure to condemn this vile attack and other forms of Anti-Muslim hate undermines

Really fantastic, special work. And it’s great seeing party-line palette barriers being broken more and more. Who’d have thought a winning Democratic candidate would use red and yellow for their logo? We need more of this imaginative design in politics!
my partners at Forge @abhoopathy and @philly__d were the branding, design and digital team for Zohran in my humble opinion they really smashed it (i had zero involvement in any of it)

I already hate the name I made this post about
For years I’ve kept a list of studio names in my Notes app, just to jot ideas down for when I start my own thing one day. Many hundred names later I think I’ve got the one… check back in 10 years
