“Back “in the 2000s when I started, there weren’t any resources on how to do design. We did it in Photoshop. Good old days. Nowadays I mentor others to learn the no Bullsh!t approach to design.

“Looking back over a year of my own designs I see progress. It is exciting. And it makes me realize that there is nothing I cannot do when I put in the time and effort. I am excited for another year of more design growth.”

"I did Michal Malewicz’s Daily UI prompts. He is one of few unique persons I look forward to. After completing this, the improvement in just 3 months is comparable to what I would have learned in two years. I wish I did this sooner."

"It’s been a nearly endless flow of learning to design different things, figuring out how to create new effects and basically thinking “This is the coolest s**t I’ve ever made."
