My MacBook Pro takes my design work to a new level. I no longer have to worry about lag and performance issues. I upgraded from a MacBook 12-inch so I am happy with the size.

I love feeling my music and hearing it like never before! I got white to go with my decor.

I am participating in the Indie Sticker Pack initiative with 90+ app developers and over 100 stickers. 100% of proceeds are shared between WHO and the Equal Justice Initiative. I’ve ordered 2 sets!

Interacting with the interface is delightful with big bold type and friendly rounded buttons. The features are well-thought-out. Decided to take a plunge and pay for my first year. Really happy with the service so far! Happy to get my first name email address for life too! 😉

I am currently learning to code with SwiftUI, a framework by Apple that makes building user interfaces simpler and faster than ever before. As a designer with no previous code experience, it is a great entry point for jumping into development.

100 Days of SwiftUI is a great course for learning to code with SwiftUI provided for free by Paul Hudson. It has short videos, quizzes, and projects to really complement your learning. Sharing my progress each day really motivates me to keep going.

I love how generous Paul Hudson is with his learning material. I am currently participating in the 100 Days of SwiftUI challenge, a great community exercise to learn SwiftUI with short videos, quizzes, and projects. The site is also full of many helpful articles and resources.

I am currently learning to use Xcode as I learn SwiftUI. I like that it helps you to fix errors and preview your app as you make it. There is still a lot to learn but I am grateful for all the work Apple engineers put into making it for developers.
