OVO?

???? Hello friends and colleagues! Earlier this year, I chose to step away from work after a layoff and allow myself the time to reflect, recharge, and set my sights on the next chapter of my personal journey and career. Feeling refreshed and energized, I’m eager to tackle compelling new design challenges. I’m looking to join a team and company where I will be inspired to grow, foster collaboration, and contribute my vision to experiences that create lasting, positive impact. My ideal role is long-term, remote or hybrid in the SF Bay Area. I bring extensive experience in digital innovation, product design, visual language development, and more recently AI-first product experiences that intend to service real human problems and don’t overlook the realities and ethics issues around this emerging tech. I am also open to short-term contract work as I seek out the right fit. ???? I’m incredibly grateful for this network and would appreciate any leads or connections you might have. If you know of any companies seeking a hands-on, strategic design leader or if you’d like to connect and chat, please don’t hesitate to reach out or forward my contact information onto others. I am happy to provide portfolio samples on request. #opentowork #design #UX #UI #leadership #AI #innovation #jobs #creative #designdirection #experiencedesign

?? Are you or someone you know and an expert in Git? We've got a client who needs assistance advising around repo and development architecture. Maybe a few hours of consulting/sanity check. If not you, can you share?

Congratulations, Tempesta Artisan Salumi. An acknowledgement well deserved. #delicious

Google Bard rebrands to Gemini, inheriting the name of the AI engine that powers it. Gemini does feel like a more accessible name. The bard connection is one that fewer people understood. But maybe, more importantly, the audible impression of gemini feels more pleasing to the ear. The single-syllable, hard-ending construction of bard gives a harsher and less human (at least in English) impression. One might argue that's more appropriate for a robot—or less appropriate for one pretending to be human. https://lnkd.in/dsnPEZN9

What is the mystery behind why we, as consumers, prefer one brand over another? And what moves us to make that brand purchase? The reasons are many but as marketers, the answer comes down to appealing to what’s inside each of us and what we deem as most important in our lives.
