I am still figuring out what this blog is, and I hope I’m not going to make this part too awkward, but I’d love once in a while to point to someone whose work I admire or find inspiring.

I just spent an hour or so simply scrolling through David Aerne’s Bluesky feed, and I felt it was just so much fun for me. David is interested in color and works on various small refined tools – one recent example is OKPalette – and reposts other people who work in this space, but is also very generous with sharing his creative process around tools and their details.

I’ve always been more of a “functional” designer and less of an “artist” (please excuse labels in progress), and this kind of stuff feels like connective tissue and expands my horizons.

Check out David Aerne’s work on Bluesky – no account is required.

Also, I’ll always welcome recommendations of other people to follow! (Just please: not on x.com).
