Home / Blog / Weekend in Shenzhen 2026/06/08 #personal My wife and I spent the weekend in Shenzhen and I used the trip as an excuse to test out two things I've been excited about: the new Halide Mark III on my iPhone and my Fujifilm GFX 100S.

Home / Blog / WWDC 2026 — Apple's Big AI Moment 2026/06/07 #personal As I'm writing this it's less than 24 hours until Apple's annual developer conference starts into its 2026 edition.

When OpenAI announced ChatGPT Atlas (their AI-enabled browser that can interact with web pages) I was curious but skeptical.

After looking at some big third-party apps experimenting with Apple’s new Liquid Glass design language in their UI, I wanted to dedicate a follow-up post to a few indie developers.

When Apple unveiled its new design language Liquid Glass at WWDC this year, many people argued it would be largely ignored by big third-party developers.

While using my MacBook this morning I randomly felt like sharing some of my favorite macOS menu bar utilities I use all the time.

There is no doubt that language is central to almost any user experience.

Welcome back to "Fixing Things", my mini-series where I present small UX/UI-hiccups and how to fix them.

Welcome to the first installment of "Fixing things", my new semi-regular mini-series where I'm planning to showcase and try to suggest fixes for those little UX/UI hiccups we come across in our everyday use of technology.

In my last blog entry I talked a bit about the idea of not getting too used to the tools you are using for your work and to remember to mix it up once in a while.

As a UI/UX generalist I spend a good amount of my time working with a set of cutting edge tools that continue to change in some way or another every single day.

There are a number of design principles in the field of UI/UX that have engrained themselves so deep into my mind I can't help but notice when a design violates them.

From the outset 2025 has all the potential to be a really bad year for the world.

It's almost the end of the year again and as I'm writing this I'm already packing my bags for my flight to spend Christmas with family and friends back in Europe. 2024 coming to an end also means that I have lived in HK for another year.

I have written about my experience with using different mapping apps before.

This is just a short rant about one of the worst UI changes Apple made as part of their Photos.app redesign in iOS 18.

I upgraded my phone last Friday, swapping my beloved purple iPhone 12 mini for a new iPhone 16 Pro (in the much more boring natural titanium color).

After documenting my current desk setup with the previous post today I also want to update my 'everyday carry' with this post.

The website relaunch seemed like as good a time as any to document my updated desk setup.

When you're reading this I have actually managed to successfully relaunch my website.
