It was a summer night in Seattle. I ate some ice-cream, watched a Youtube tutorial, and downloaded a free trial of Principle.

My past projects include 100 Days of Doodle, 100 Days of Lettering, 100 Days of Watercolor, and… Read More ￫

It’s a great way to eliminate problems or user difficulties that were unforeseen in the design phase. 1.

As a general rule, to build something great is not about more hours and resources thrown at a problem, but less bullshit. I tended to believe that with all technological advancement, we will work less, smarter and better.
