I am shaking and almost in tears 🥹❤️

Stated using @meetgranola and boi. I am ready to conquer the world with all those notes.
Granola now does voice typing. Unlimited words, for free.
Granola already writes your meeting notes. Now it can do the typing for you, in any app.

When interviewers join 2–3 minutes late, my whole system resets.
My shoulders drop, I’m instantly relaxed, now more comfortable. Does this happen to anyone else?

Shoutout to the design leaders for giving so much valuable feedback ✨
At the end of the day, nothing sells you better than your work.
We grabbed some dope people who are hiring daily to give some feedback on portfolios many of you submitted.
Here's what I took away:
1. Number one is always work.
@gt: "In those first five seconds, I really do wanna see final work."
2. Separate the work from the fun stuff.
Lead with the focus on work and have a separate playground entry point, or sprinkle subtle playful interactions throughout that represent your POV and contrast nicely with the simplicity of the work display.
3. Lose the canted angles and mixed typography.
That's a lot to ingest for a hiring manager who's quickly moving through your portfolio.
4. Cut the eyebrows and the AI boilerplate.
I love a good eyebrow, but it's the em-dash of the design world now, unfortunately.
AI can come up with some interesting boilerplate stuff. It's fine. But it's distracting from what someone should be paying attention to.
5. Drop the device mockups.
We've moved on from them, collectively. It's less helpful today.
6. Lead with the version you're more proud of (even if it's not the live version)
Mine was a complete overhaul of complex data tables, but it wasn't approved because of legacy and modern front end migration delays.
Try to do great work, and when you can't, try to tell the stories about the work visually.

We traveled through Japan for 33 days as a couple on ~$4150.
We hacked our way through cities, countryside, onsen towns & ✿ sakura – without breaking the bank.
Here's our itinerary, which we planned serendipitously on the road, at a relaxed pace to soak in the culture…
So so grateful 💜💜
Hire* @poojadav. End of story.
* More than happy to hop on a call and talk about what she contributed to our team and the experience of working with her.

Flexing the highlights make so much sense. Solid feedback🫡
Gave a 60s critique with @maheen_sohail on @poojadav awesome portfolio 👏
tl;dr - no one is reading long-text testimonial sliders. Extract the highlight and flex them in the hero and around the site ✨
"immense humor & light" - @imcatnoone
"go-to for illustration work" - @danmall
"amazing deliverables" - Sam Miller

In Germany, most people call me 'Poo-ya' and I still love them. But just to set the record straight, I added a quick voiceover preview 😉

By far the most unpredictable surface to paint on. They just don't sit still 😂
At any point, your line weight can go from 2px to 20px. Made me miss digital brush settings 🫠
Did my first face-painting gig for a kids' birthday party, and boi it was a hit! 😍
Tried paints again after a decade. Reminded me that some skills you just don't forget. Surface changes, but the muscle memory stays.

Opened my Drive and found this:

So refreshing to step away from the screen and make something by real hand.
My first origami parrots turned out pretty perfect. The single ordinary thread is somehow holding up the whole structure.
As everything goes AI, physical craft hits different.
