Iteration makes everything better. Super proud of the team for helping folks experiment, explore, and realize their ideas faster than ever with Generative Workspace in Photoshop. Stoked to see the magic folks create with it!

Bravo to the thoughtful accessibility Apple keeps bringing to the world. We all have special needs in different contexts. Like captioning and other assistive technologies, so many will help countless folks. Touch-free control of Apple Watch? 👍 apple.com/newsroom/2021/05/a…

• Read everyday. • Spend time with nature. • Ask questions. • Never stop learning. • Don't pay attention to what others think of you. • Do what interests you the most. • Study hard. • Teach others what you know. • Make mistakes and learn. • It's Okay to not know things!

“Know that your story matters. Your ideas, your experiences, your vision for our world all matter.” youtube.com/watch?v=VXDTmAYs… The most powerful leaders help others see their own power. Michelle is so powerful.
So much has changed so quickly. And if any of you are confused or scared or angry—or just plain overwhelmed—I just want you to know that you aren’t alone. I am feeling all that, too. And I have a few things I want to say about it. youtube.com/watch?v=VXDTmAYs…

When White people ask what they should say to black people show them this video. The answer is simple. Keep your eye on this White girl in the front who uses her privilege to prevent violence. Be that girl. Raise that girl.

Rad: California's power generation has shifted from from essentially zero solar to 16% in ~5 years. And now renewable energy makes up 50% of its energy production. Better than miracles: Hope and action. ☀️ nytimes.com/interactive/2018… (Also: Yay @NYTInteractive data journalism!)

Honored to speak to such an inspiring audience of arts & media educators this morning. They're not just preparing students for the future – they're showing kids how to create it. 🖌🎥⚡️ #AMELeadership2018 #CreateEdu #STEAM xitter.gq/achidente/status/98597…
Loved today’s opening keynote about finding your story, breaking things apart and being fearless! Thanks for the insight, @tomng! #AMELeadership2018 #Arts #Media #Entertainment #Educating4Careers #STEAM #Edu

Trending on @Medium. Expected critical reflection on how designers used to just solve problems for people – yet now must be wary of creating addicting, harmful products. Instead: it’s a how-to guide for creating addiction. Even if you know how: ask if you should. 🚬 – at San Francisco, CA

Think small… Just change small to memorable. Attention is our most scarce resource. And the beautiful thing about a niche is that it’s memorable. @morram @ginab #inforumsf
