I’ve been trying to get back into reading more, both fiction and non-fiction.

I'm doing my best to get back into blogging more frequently, so bear with me if there's a mix in quality in the upcoming posts.

A couple of months ago, I decided to give more attention to my blogging and newsletter.

Design projects are a series of decisions Erika Hall once said that design projects are a series of decisions.

As designers, we may shy away from the idea of "selling," but it's necessary.

I recall reading a post by Lily Konings where she described what it's like to work with her.

I'm writing to share with you two reasons why I write.

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few months, you've likely heard the term AI over and over again.

We're a few months into the new year and I can't think of a better time for a fresh start.

Soon I will be working on, not one, but two different design systems consultations.

There's no point in denying this, so I'll say it like it is.

Over the past two weeks, I’ve had the exact same thought in three different situations, so I think that’s probably a sign from above that I should write it down and share it with all of you.

I wrote my first post on this blog on April 9, 2013.

I had a coaching call yesterday with someone who wanted to get into writing.

Not too long ago, people were cautious about buying nearly anything online.

As you have probably noticed, I haven’t been great at writing new pieces for you lately.

Hi, How are you?

One of the companies that fascinates me at the moment is AirBnB.

This post from Chris Coyier resonated (I'll save you a click, it reads: "The effort-to-engagement ratio for content is unguessable.") with me, so I'll follow his lead; Last week I saw a tweet from Mr.

I’ve been in Los Angeles for an offsite for the past week.

Is there a silver lining to COVID?

Max Back’s “Make Free Stuff” is a post that has been making the rounds on the Internet lately (and well deserved, it’s a great one).

I was recently exploring my views on what separates a junior designer from a senior one.

My friend Femke posted a twitter thread (and a video if that’s your cup of tea, but I’m not one to generally watch videos) about what sets a senior designer apart from a junior one.

In my newsletter a few weeks back, I mentioned Matthias' tweet about looking up stuff on your own blog.

I am still really enjoying the coaching sessions I run with a couple of different mid to senior designers on a recurring basis.

When running an agency, there's a constant battle between focusing on profitability or building culture.

I recently travelled an hour and a half up north from Malmö to visit with some friends I haven't seen in a long time (cause, you know).

If you've followed my writing for some time, you'll know one of the things I keep repeating is that UX shouldn't be seen as an isolated process or deliverable.

During a coaching call with a senior designer the other week, we were discussing his goals for our sessions.

Any senior designer can probably tell you exactly what design school failed to teach them.

Most people in our industry believe the common 'truth' that the first to market will always succeed.

One of recurring topics of this blog over the past year has surely been Design Principles.

I wrote this for the Product blog.

For readers of my newsletter, I hinted at some exciting news I wanted to share.

I'm currently leading the "Design Ethics" class for Hyper Island's UX Upskill Program.

I've been feeling tired of work lately - well, kind of.

One of the challenges about running a blog like mine is surely coming up with topics to write about.

This week I'm turning 40.

I was recently tagged by my friend Sara Soueidan to describe my typical day.

It's become a tradition for me to review my year as it comes to the end.

I recently did a short survey with my newsletter subscribers - I wanted to know more about them AND I wanted to test Mailchimp's Survey tool.

For the past 10 weeks I've met with Magnus every other week to talk about design and UX.

Having expertise within an area comes with its challenges.

A couple of weeks ago, I was on a coaching call with Matt.
