Honestly, which platform isn't using their customers' data to train their AI nowadays? 😬

Someone told me they'd call me this afternoon, without specifying the time... am I the only one who's pausing everything they do just to be able to take a hypothetical call, or just me? 🙈

I’m invited on an author podcast to talk about SEO. Just the day after I wondered if I should go back to marketing… is that a sign that I should? 😅

@beach I feel like I'd be happier as a designer, and that was the purpose of me wanting to pivot. But getting that first junior job is very challenging. Companies are looking for seniors, whom I'm not. And that's disheartening.

I’m currently using the Mastodon app on the phone, but I’m seeing people using other apps for Masto. Can you tell me which one you’re using and what’s the best thing you like about it?

How is that possible that the price of a train ticket is more expensive than a plane ticket? 🤪

Seing your baby with tubes in and out is something I don't wish to any parent 😢

We're out the hospital now, but gosh what a scary experience!

Hey, you a parent?
Have you also been sick more often since you had a kid? I'm not counting the number of times I had a cold, flu or else since my son was born... 🙈

Hey everyone, do you have any book recommendations about cognitive bias? 😄

Sometimes, I wonder why I keep trying to hustle. Why don't I pick up gardening or something in my free time? Instead, I keep being on my computer for work and hobbies 😅

@JeroenSchaper For 3 years I’ve been posting videos every week. Now I’m down to one every two weeks. But I wonder if I should actually be down to once a month 🙃

You don’t know the whole background but I feel a bit overwhelmed at the moment.

I just watched #10xDesigners talk about building a design career with side projects, and I so agree with that. In the car, I was thinking I could create my own todo list app because those out there are too complicated or designed for companies' teams.

However, need to brainstorm. I'm sure I've got an even better idea somewhere 😄

Being sick is no fun 😷

I worked at home with the toddler around this past two days. No nursery. Grandparents and Dad sick with the flu (I fortunately had my sister helping me today). But BOY this is hard to work when my son is constantly seeking my attention 😅 I'm lucky enough to have an understanding manager, but still.

@joachim Je ne pense pas, car ce n’est pas un article de blog. Par contre c’est un très bon point de départ pour les visiteurs du blog, alors je la mettrais dans les liens de la nav bar. Mais c’est une opinion personnelle 😊

I recently realised I spent a great year, minus the lay off in February.

  • My husband and I bought a house;
  • I could spend half the year as a stay-at-home mum with my baby boy and see him grow and change so much;
  • I released my second nonfiction book in July, called SEO for Authors;
  • I enrolled and finished a UX/UI web design bootcamp, and am now doing an internship.

@JeroenSchaper Sorry if that doesn't translate well, I want to say 'butin' in French...

Hello there!

I'm Estelle, a Belgian UX/UI web designer who also happen to write books (I've published two).

I love well-designed interfaces and typographies, I dabble in HTML and CSS, and I'm very interested in sustainability and accessibility for the web.

I'm the mom of a 18 month old and the wife of an awesome software engineer/artist.

I speak French and English, but my posts will mainly be in English 😜
