A new year, and a bit of difficulties in business led me to a lot of thinking. This post doesn’t have a lot of structure, but I hope the combined thoughts make some sense and give you something to think about as well. In my day job, I am a UI designer, and most of […]

I made a side project, showing off my favorite things released in 2017. If you don’t care about the details and/or technicalities and just want to see the result, check out the project here. Intro I love end of year lists. It’s always nice to have a backlog of great movies to watch or albums […]

For a while I’ve been pondering to buy a Windows based laptop. Some of the user interface design work we do at Mono involves designing desktop applications on Windows.

I am looking for an app that allows me to annotate PNG exports from design apps in another environment i.e. draw arrows, explain things, while keeping the original design as an external file reference. I would prefer if the app has an “infinite” canvas feature, where you can resize the app to the size you […]

This weekend I took a walk and listened to a podcast episode of Nice To Meet You which featured DHH, the technical cofounder of Basecamp. I know a lot about Basecamp and their company values from reading their blog Signal v. Noise for over 10 years so everything David was saying was basically something I […]
