February Brain Dump 😮‍💨💌

Unsurprisingly, February killed me inside.

Despite this, however, I had a relatively good month. I haven’t engaged in as much retail therapy as I would have liked to but I managed to at least begin the habit of saving money monthly as well as applying discretion in general when it comes to purchases; my new principle is: yearn for an item for at least a month before you cave in and buy.

At the moment I’m considering buying an iPad mini for note-taking on the go; do I even take notes on the go now?

Outside of battling my addiction to retail therapy, I’ve also been developing my 3D modelling skillset further.

Here’s some things I’ve made.

I’ve also been creating something else that’s ✨ under wraps ✨ that will be revealed soon enough.

Outside of 3D modelling, I also briefly explored graphic design again when creating something for a friend, see below:

Also explored AR again by creating this filter for Valentine’s Day

The actual bubble text was created in Blender in late January; see below:

In regards to my self-development in February, a lot of it has been rooted in being more patient, introspecting a lot more and trying to centre myself without harming the other people in my life.

I’ve been bingeing tarot readings lately to try and understand life more plus find peace in general and also have yet to finish All About Love by bell hooks but that will come in due time.

I’m also now involved in SugarCode with my friend Emmanuel after a *long* call today so you’ll probably see that fairly soon.

YouTube also hopefully will come into fruition soon once a couple of things are ironed out.

See a summary of my month in the photodump below.

If you don’t see a YouTube intro video by May, blame fried rice.

Also, happy to mentor any aspiring UXers, DM me or drop an email to hello@zaibuilds.io

Laters,
