This is what ~200lbs of original design, mostly unorganized vinyl stickers looks like. In case you were wondering. 😱

I am constantly at war with myself between the ADHD need for dependable organization and the designer's need for beauty and function.

ADHD: (begging the rest of my brain) PLEASE Gods, let's organize this stuff!

Designer: (looking at IKEA website) Yessssss, so sleek, so modern, so clean, so much hidden storage! We must have it!

ADHD: I guess none of my stuff exists now! Whee! This is the fourth tape measure I have bought in as many months!*

*Not an exaggeration.

I don't want to name my layers. I don't want to name my design systems. I don't want to struggle to decide my professional title or labels. I just want to focus on people.

Something from #Indesign for #ThrowbackThursday. It's funny what you find when people send you their files sometimes. 😆

As we wait for the PDF to finish let us ponder the sights and wonders we've seen on our journey...

There was that one image we couldn't find and relink at all. Followed by six more of the same. All the fonts that wouldn't load! And who could forget the first time we tried PDFing that crashed? Ah... The memories.

Hopefully we arrive where we're going and come out as better people for it. Now I would like you all to bow your heads. Let us pray...

#Indesign files that are 50-100 pages long and involve 20gigs or so of high res images are a lot to handle sometimes. Am I missing any tips on getting these to run faster? (Preferably without just changing the display to "Fast quality".) #DesignerProblems

I mean I could link the images and then move/delete them temporarily to just use the image previews but that's not ideal for softcopy checking the PDFs...

I thought starting a full-time job would eliminate the anxiety of taking sick days. I guess I was wrong. Here’s to always feeling like you’re doing something wrong 🥂 #imposter #impostersyndrome #designerProblems #motionDesign #RoomToImprove #designer

Big aha moment for web designers 🤯

Sigh. My latest game design was brought out tonight, and while a few people were intrigued, the group ended up doing a party game instead. #gamedesign #designerproblems #EagerIgors

I will never forget when my #ArtDirector told me that my tiny black and white #illustration of a lime wedge looked too much like a lemon 😁

AUGH WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND A FREE WORDPRESS THEME I LIKE THAT HAS EVERYTHING I WANT, DOESN'T BREAK OTHER PLUGINS, AND ISN'T TOO HARD TO OPERATE/MAKE LOOK NICE?
