Milestones

🦠 I had COVID in early March and recovered. While my symptoms were mild and I felt exhausted. I am so grateful for my health and thankful that my side effects appear to be minimal.

✅ Designed and helped launch Songview, a new comprehensive data platform, launched by ASCAP and BMI, that provides music users with an authoritative view of public performance copyright ownership and administration shares for the vast majority of music licensed in the United States.

🖥️ Relaunched ChrisGuimarin.com using Webflow

📱Launched iOS Homescreens where you can find alternative iOS icons using Webflow and Gumroad 

🧑‍🎨 Helped relaunch the new Visual Design Curriculum for General Assembly through my work on the Product Advisory Board

Books

On ChrisGuimarin.com I launched a new section called Bookshelf where I keep a my all-time recommendations. Here are a few books from this year that I enjoyed:

  • The Three-Body Problem Series

  • How to Take Smart Notes

  • How To Make It in the New Music Business

  • Queer X Design: 50 Years of Signs, Symbols, Banners, Logos, and Graphic Art of LGBTQ

  • The Art of Community: Seven Principles for Belonging
