Hi
,
I
'
m
Elena
—
a
product
designer
and
occasional
essayist
.
I
started
this
blog
in
2021
as
a
place
to
think
in
public
:
about
design
systems
,
the
creative
habits
that
actually
stick
,
and
the
small
rituals
that
keep
a
week
feeling
sane
.
Based
in
Portland
,
Oregon
Currently
reading
A
Book
of
Days
Tea
of
choice
Genmaicha

ME
Professionally
,
I
'
ve
spent
the
last
eight
years
designing
tools
for
people
who
make
things
—
first
at
a
two
-
person
studio
,
then
at
a
software
company
of
four
hundred
,
and
now
as
an
independent
designer
working
with
early
-
stage
teams
from
my
home
in
Portland
.
Here
,
I
write
for
myself
first
.
That
means
long
posts
about
process
,
short
reviews
of
books
I
can
'
t
stop
recommending
,
and
the
occasional
recipe
that
has
survived
my
kitchen
.
I
'
m
glad
you
'
re
here
.
"Here, I write for myself first."
