I was wondering why the windows in the ladies’ section in the gym were frosted, it would be nice to look outside. Then I suddenly realized why. What a f***ing world we’re living in. 🫠

$1,000,000 — that’s how much my first client earned by investing in a design system.
… and that was a long time ago, the numbers have only grown since then.

Look at this! The app generated this picture. My #designsystems dreams, brought to life by my app. Amazing!

In every travel, in all the countries, when drinking water - tap bottle - the only thought was "this isn't that". And when returning to Finland, the first thing to do was to drink from a tap, a couple of full glasses. Or three of them.
