Yo! It’s been a long year. Let’s go over a few key moments (careerwise).

Started a new journey at AbleTo.

• I exercised humility and honed in on my attention to detail. Very humbling, but very thankful for it.

• Became a Figma Lord.

• Found that it wasn’t a good fit for me and decided to leave.

Panelle Bread Co.

• I began experimenting more with brand visuals and storytelling. “Originally Unoriginal” was the ethos I created.

• Experiments & Musings published to my blog. They were excellent exercises in expressing myself purely.

• Originally Unoriginal morphed into Panella Bread Co., A brand in which I’ll share nuggets of knowledge and wisdom I’ve gathered over many years of improving my mental health.

New adventure at Akamai (short-lived)

• I joined the Akamai team, but my time there was short-lived because a challenger entered the arena. I chose to leave my comfort and face this new challenge...which was/is Meta.

Hello Meta; goodbye Meta

• I started my stint at Meta in June. My contract ends at the end of the month. It’s been a fun ride. No regrets!

Key learnings

• It truly takes a team to build a future-forward and scaleable brand.

• Many hours go into stress testing a solid design system.

• Attention to detail is paramount, as every iota must harmonize with the brand strategy.

• Strategy, strategy, and more strategy.
