Work
Built out a solid prototype for our new finance client with our new designer and through some solid collaboration from everyone in our team. Enjoying working on a project which is something I do less of while I lead out the function.
Received 360 feedback. I am challenged by this, but as a leader I responded to the feedback and shared it along with the rest of leadership.
Gave another UX/UI lesson to a new group as part of our internal MO_Pro training. I enjoy teaching. I’ve been encouraged to do a MOHARA design course which I will start work on soon. Who knows, maybe I’ll turn that into a skillshare class.
Our COO Ben did this weeks MOHARA MixTape
Personal
I’m good. I have nothing to complain about. I have been listening to people talk and noticed when they reply, to how are you, most people seize the moment to unpack the pain. While I understand it, I don’t want to be that guy, it immediately makes you a little toxic for people. I am in search of peace and like to talk to delightful people who are simply a pleasure to be around. I know it’s false and I’m very open to discussing peoples challenges, but in a crowded room with strangers, to me thats toxic over sharing an doesn’t make a good first impression.
Watching
I’ve been too busy to watch a lot. but I did binge watch a Netflix series on Saturday called The Brothers Sun which was ok.

Making
I decided to change the colour of my site. It’s now the official neon yellow colour. The first of many little tweaks to rebrand myself and try something a little different from what I’ve done before. Noticed neon colours recently on a lot of sites, so I’m attempting to see if it works for me.
