Nothing big to say. I’ve been allowing myself time to explore. I’ve been researching and need some time to process. I wrote up a quick reminder for you too. Just in case you need it. Added some nice music as well. Sit back, relax, and wade into the quiet of the stream…

Last month, I started a visual side project on Instagram.
I called it Tactil Visuals.

I found this type of exercise can improve my overall thinking patterns and also found this new way to look at things as a transferable skill. Yes, it is design work, but also ultra-simplification. Compression is hard. Simplification is hard. Visual storytelling is hard. At least for me, at this point.
I’m also posting ultra-random thoughts on my 💌 Instagram.
Thank you for reading 🤜🤛If you enjoyed this, maybe I can tempt you with my YouTube channel.
My website is here.💌 My Favorite Links: articles I’ve enjoyed, podcasts, tech, software, ideas, and personal philosophies.
I do share some thoughts on 📰 Instagram & on 🐦 Twitter.✍️ Medium at some point.🔴 Discord server for the community.
Again, you can also reach out via Instagram, Twitter, or using gravitational waves.That said, how’re you and yours doing this week? Any major changes to your status quo, or are things fairly locked-in and predictable at the moment?
I respond to every email I get—consider sending me a message and telling me a bit about yourself and what’s been up in your world.
