MY WEEK IN PHOTOS: AUGUST 3 – 9, 2015!
A week of really pumping out of UX Design project about making art museums more accessible, eating mostly soba, poster design, and three days in San Francisco for the Outsidelands music festival.

Enjoy!

Stayed home on Monday, I wasn’t feeling so well.

It was hot and humid, and perfect to make and enjoy some soba.

Tweedy doesn’t look so hot either.

After a morning full of napping, I gathered all the mind strength I had left to tackle my UX Design project.

Yeah. I feel you.

Drawing things on paper first.

Then translating them to Illustrator files. (Yeah this user flow is a mess, I know I know)

Sketching sketching sketching

Laying down with Tweedy

*Dead* On the way to UX Design class.

The next morning, needed to pump out some designs for the next round of Zach’s show.

Maybe not the most creative design. But I added a UFO!

HEY A DEER

Tuesday night in Santa Monica

Santa Monica has it’s pretty moments! Not sure why this neighborhood has such a bad vibe in my memory, but it’s kinda pretty sometimes.

This location has so many more resources than where I take my class, look at this cute lil’ courtyard!

Submitting an application using storytelling to define your journey

I was in the area, and I knew Sweetfin Poke was nearby…had to grab some.

Wednesday face

Ask Zach to card sort for my UX project

Today’s a User Journey Mapping workshop, I’m very excited

Identifying all the steps of a persona’s journey, including their touch points with us and their thoughts and feelings. Then seeing which are pain areas, and brainstorming how we can fix that root problem.

Love these trees and this view

Little cousins visited me today! Got to show them my office and behind-the-scenes (and hopefully get a few of them to be interested in working in the arts…haha)

Kids playing in the garden

My lovely little weirdos

I DID IT! 200 visits to the gym fiiiinally

Changed shirts to my Wilco tank.

Quick stop at home to gobble some hot and sour soup

Off to a Wilco show!

Killer sunset

Wilco at the Greek! New album, new poster, it’s all great.

Wore my “Keith Haring as a kindergarten teacher” skirt

Brought some edamame salad into work for a bridal shower

Work doodles

My boss’s beautiful salad and pesto from ingredients in her garden compared to my sad edamame salad.

Blue skies, time to leave them behind and head to SF

LAX

Beautiful sunset as we flew off to San Francisco

First things first? Seeing Rachel, and then a late night snack.

Big ass slices

YAY SAN FRANCISCO

Get the bracelet on, let’s do this!

“You look like undercover Yoko Ono.” Thanks, Zach.

Off to the best bakery

We come here every year. It’s close to Lauren’s place, and they have great coffee and peroshkis

Happy camper

Look at that beautiful mushroom peroshki

Walked across the park over to Rachel’s place

Rachel’s pancake skills

Made it to the festival! HI ZULI baby

Cloudy day, but the humidity was a welcome blanket

Goof

Dinner time! Fried pickles and beer sausage

Zach is pumped for his 13th Jeff Tweedy show. THIRTEENTH. Yeah.

Hi Tweedy!

Way too close for Mumford and Sons. We stayed for the first like…20 minutes, and then decided to get out there. Of course they were headlining, and it was awkward and we got yelled at for leaving the crowd. Mumford just ain’t my cup of tea……
