Death is beginning backwards

I was 10 when I last held her hand. Beside me was my father and my aunt — her son and her daughter. I didn’t understand a word she spoke as dementia had taken her away from us. For how long, I didn’t know. As a naive child, my grasp…

Empathy is dead. Long live empathy!

The other day I was at the grocery store. It was meant to be like any other day — make sure I get all my groceries as quickly as possible, take deep breaths to handle my general anxiety, and miss out 1 or 2 things because of it by the…

Being a daily a11y

How the nitty gritty of accessibility makes me a better designer — In the midst of the Summer of COVID, I set upon a project that scared me. Being a homebody with health issues, not going out in summer heat is something I enjoy. It was the perfect time to embark on a project that was on top of mind for a…

Finding empathy in anger

I’m used to long days — staring at the computer for hours, meetings, smalltalk and after-work networkers, but on this day, I caved. I put up my impersonal wall and opened the door to Avicii blasting a million decibels and a bunch of strangers I didn’t know. It was 11pm…
