• Still Going: A zine on using old technology

  

  I recently wrote a short e-zine about my personal experience and feelings with using old hardware and software today. I figured that it would be perfect to write that in HyperCard which is a piece of software that was discontinued back in 1998. To run it, you would need to emulate an old Macintosh with […]

• Week 1: All over the place

  

  ↗ Lo-fi version I’ve been learning a lot of random things recently. The other week, I signed up for an electronics course on Ohmify and bought a bunch of components and tools so that I could follow along. I’m having a lot of fun trying out the different activities on that website. I just started […]

• Cooking for Surveillance Capitalists: A fun little zine

  

  I wanted to create an interactive thing where the player can play as a villain — in this case a surveillance capitalist. I thought HyperCard would be a perfect medium because it has built-in programming and art tools. Plus, it’s fun running old software! You can download it on itch.io by clicking on the button […]

• Dictionary Instant Answer Redesign

  

  I worked on the redesign of the dictionary instant answer on DuckDuckGo, and I’m happy that it’s finally out! It was one of the first things that I got to work on as a frontend engineer 9 years ago (!!), and I’m glad that I got to work on it again as a designer.

• Figma ♥ AutoHotKey

  

  I found out about AutoHotKey last week because I was looking for a lightweight alternative to Logitech Options. My plan was to remap the buttons on my mouse and be done with it. But after going through the AutoHotKey tutorial, I realized that it’s actually much more powerful than I thought. It got me excited […]

• Blocking Facebook Embeds

  

  A few months ago, I got to work on the designs for blocking embedded content from Facebook. This can be embedded videos, comments, posts, pages, groups, and login buttons on the websites that you visit. This is greatly limits what Facebook can learn from you as you browse the web, and it’s also convenient to […]

• Hello, @DuckDuckGoUX

  

  I recently recorded a clip about why I love working as a product designer at DuckDuckGo, and it was just posted on the design team’s Twitter account. I just used an iPhone to record it, so I’m glad that it turned out well! A lot of websites and apps track your behavior across the web, […]

• Creative Coding: Making Noise

  

  I love the wave-like patterns in these images. I recently made these using <canvas> (which I’m learning about in the Creative Coding workshop that I’m taking), and each shape that you see is a Unicode character. Their positions are evenly distributed on a grid while their sizes and rotations are generated using the noise2D function. […]

• Hello, Creative Coding

  

  Now that I’m a full-time designer, most of my days are either spent planning projects in Asana or working on them on Figma. I hardly ever do any programming nowadays, and I miss the feeling of writing code and bringing websites to life. I’ve been thinking about small programming projects that I could do in […]
