I had a very busy week this week at Pivot & Pilot! My week was filled with more copywriting and site design, which I am still really enjoying. I’ve been learning a lot about web design, especially from one of my coworkers, who’s currently taking a UX/UI course at BrainStation.
I had an especially chaotic day on Wednesday because I was tasked to do a project that had to be finished EOD , and the main designer of that project was off that whole day. I was nervous having to make a lot of design decisions (especially because these were all going straight to the developer… to be built on a real live site..). Working in another designer’s file is also nerve-racking because everyone has their own system of sorting their layers in their files, and I didn’t want to mess up all her previous designs. To top it all off, I had to work on all of it in Adobe XD, a program I never learned to use. Luckily, I managed to pull through and learned a lot through the process. Adobe XD is actually a great program and I’m glad I now know how to use it!! I’m still Team Figma though 🙂
After that exhausting day, I took my two baby nephews to the playground outside my house to take a much-needed break and some fresh air!
Towards the end of the week, I spent a majority of the day remaking the mobile site for P&P’s updated site with Joelle. Even though we weren’t in the same room, it was still really nice working on something with someone else simultaneously. I love Figma and Slack so much!!
For lunch on Thursday, I made some wontons and watched some Netflix. I’ve been really enjoying watching k-dramas for the past few months and have been binging one after the other.
Lastly, I’ll finish this blog post with a weekly cat update. I planted “cat grass” from a pack of seeds I picked up at a home hardware store. They grew quickly in the span of a week, but my cats are totally uninterested in it. I’m sad about that, because I bought these seeds specifically so my cats would stop chewing on all my other plants.
