Great site and brilliant concept. It also poses a lot of interesting ethical questions moving forward.

The execution and concept on this is so ace. It's seriously spread like crazy and taken over my feeds haha.

Hey James,

Thanks man. Didn't know you were a part of Verse, small design world haha. Keep up the good work buddy. And I'll see you around :)

Nicely done. I remember using greensock during the flash days. It was the progression from Zeh fernando's Mc_Tween. Good to see the javascript version is going strong.

1. Career wise continue doing work that I believe in and have fun doing it.
2. Launch my first product
3. Aiming for $300k-$500k freelance + product launch income.
4. About to be a father - so not a hobby per se but my energy will be devoted to my wife and son :)
5. Keep getting better at prototyping tools such as principle and pixate. Improve on my teaching skills on video.

Fun questions :)

Great find. A super interesting breakdown of the process and design direction.

Love the story telling and presentation of it all James. Looks like you had a rad trip, and definitely makes me want to visit iceland one day.

I'm in the same boat. Almost the exact same process and flow.

Hey Endang,

It's totally fine. The key is to make sure you have a reputation and a solid body of work if you are looking for large up front payments. Plenty of designers I know have gotten 10k USD deposits. As long as your work and the way you communicate builds TRUST with your client a 50% upfront payment is fine. In some cases even 100% is fine if the job is not massive. Anything under $10k usd. But that is obviously relative to your experience and what you value your work at so it's different for everybody. I hope that helps.

I think my desk is in some of those lists. But here it is. https://dribbble.com/shots/1831920-Workspace There's been some great desks shared so far :)
