I completely forgot to even post a blog about this exercise in the midst of everything I have going on. Whoops.
I have a personal project in progress right now on Briefbox where the task is to design a brand identity for Roots, an interior design company that specializes in find bespoke fixtures, fittings, features, and furniture for their wealthy clientele.
Read MoreI don’t know about you, but last week felt weird.
I didn’t want to do anything. Had very little motivation to get things done. Maybe there’s something in the air? I don’t know. It’s been days since I’ve gone outside, haha.
This week’s installment in the #notsodailyui series is a press page that I conveniently created for Curls & Coils. Remember them? Yeah, I had forgotten about them too, so I decided to bring them back and show a little bit of love this week.
Read MoreOh, job listings…
We know that a lot of employers love to combine three roles into one to pay less money, and anyone in a creative field knows how this goes.
You’re browsing through listings. You see one that you know you would absolutely crush at a company that sounds decent, and so you put your best foot forward, send them your portfolio, and then continue down the list. A few days later (if you’re fortunate), you get a call inviting you to an interview. You attend the interview, and sooner or later, you hear this:

Is it kind of sad that I originally started doing the #dailyui challenge in 2018 and ONLY reached this far now in 2021? Probably. I clearly have time now and can focus on things…for the most part.
Read MoreThis week’s #notsodailyui exercise is centered around a new bakery’s launch.
Outside is basically closed. This stay-at-home order isn’t going to end soon, and it’s frustrating to know that some people have been jet setting off to warm climates (Must be nice to have that sort of privilege, among others…) while the rest of us have been told to only go out for essential trips. Who knows when we’ll be able to wander into bakeries, coffee shops, restaurants, order, and then sit down and enjoy our food and beverages again? At this rate, it’s looking like months from now, and I know I’m feeling exhausted. I’m sure you are, too.
Read MoreThe good news: I finally posted my first Instagram reels a few weeks ago!
The bad news: I accidentally deleted the posts two days ago after saving them to my phone. I wasn’t fully paying attention. 🤦🏾♀️🤣
As promised in last week’s post, this installment is the info card to one of the items that Satchel Stone has so graciously offered in their e-commerce shop.
Read MoreIt’s been a while since I’ve completed a #dailyui exercise related to Satchel Stone, so here we are! The next exercise in the series will also tie into this.
Read MoreHi, my name is Tenisha, and I love to skip the line by ordering my coffee ahead of time. You don’t know how many times people have given me death stares because I’ve breezed past them in line to pick up my orders. Get with the winning team.
Read MoreAhhh, where would we be without to-do lists?
I started to use Asana late last year after struggling to keep track of everything I wanted and needed to do and it was such a huge improvement. You can make multiple lists, colour code them, add links, schedule dates and times for when tasks should be completed by, etc. Most of my boards are focused on creative work and I mainly use to it jot down ideas for upcoming projects or to document where I am during a project, but I do have a few that are for personal use only.
Read MoreI made the decision to take some time off from posting on here and my creative account on Instagram. It originally was going to be for a week, but I knew I needed a break. It was overdue. Since the lockdown started and I was off of work, I forced myself to be “productive” by pushing content out. It worked for a while because it helped me be accountable and on somewhat of a schedule. I learned about a week into quarantine that I needed a form of routine in my life in order to have some sense of normalcy.
Read MoreThis was fun. Maybe designing recipe apps is in my future. Or maybe it’s because I just love good pictures of food.
Who knows?
For today’s exercise, I designed an interface that gives the user ingredients and instructions on how to make avocado toast. Yes, I did choose this because of the whole “You millennials can’t afford to buy homes these days because you’re spending too much money on fancy avocado toast and coffee!” thing that has been floating around for a while now. Why not have a little fun with it, make the avo toast yourself, then save that $14+ for when restaurants open back up and you can celebrate with friends at brunch with bottomless mimosas?
