I've worked from home for almost 3 years now, but the past two weeks have been extremely unproductive and hard (even with a decent setup and daily routine/habits)
This is more of a reminder to myself but if it's helpful please give yourself some grace.

It's hard to stay focused.
It's hard to not pay attention to the news.
It's hard to not be heartbroken when family and friends are losing their businesses, jobs, etc.
It's hard to not be scared about the unknown.
It's hard to not be anxious and worried.

I don’t often post personal updates here, but for this I couldn’t help it!!!
I’m super excited to share that my wife and I are expecting our first child early March 2023!

I'm planning on starting some
@figmadesign
livestreams for the community...
1. What should I use? Twitch?
2. What would you like to see? live critiques, walkthroughs, guests, designing something real, etc.?
Benny (

Today marks my 3 year anniversary
@figmadesign

Feels like just yesterday when I was traveling up to SF to our small little office on minna st.

It's okay to watch that show or play that game.
It's okay to FaceTime, Zoom, whatever or not.
It's okay to get lost in social media.

I'm feeling extremely…
