Hi! I'm Kate Prescesky (pronounced Press "S" Key), and I'm a #yyc based designer. I specialize in UI & web design but I love illustration too - including vector/linework, digital painting, real media, and pixel art. For more, see kate-prescesky.com or dribbble.com/kateprescesky
I am on the butterfly app exclusively, follow me over there where the skies are a little bluer. @ Kate-kat (I'm just there for the shitposting tho)

corporate friend: "welp, on my way to another pizza party in lieu of raises. kinda leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. because of the lack of raises, but also because the place they get the pizza from sucks."

Moodboards: love ‘em or hate ‘em? My take is it’s about how you present them. They’re great for early conversations around visual territories & creating a shared language for tone & brand personality. They are meant to start a conversation not be copied or restrict creative

Yesterday I was deep in the valley of "YIKES!" - it happens at least once in every design project. I know it will come, and I know it will go, I just have to get through it.
Thankful to be feeling more in the groove today ✨
Are there people in the world who are actually "easygoing" and "chill" or are they ALL just faking it?
Ie been sitting on the fence about AI art in general for a variety of reasons, but this is the best take I've seen so far from an artist's perspective. youtu.be/5Viy3Cu3DLk

IT IS IMPORTANT TO SPEND YOUR DAY DEFENDING THE ULTRA WEALTHY ONLINE
THEY COULD SEE YOUR POST AND DECIDE YOU GET TO BE THE GUY WHO TURNS A CRANK THAT GRINDS HUMAN BEINGS IN A FINE PASTE
AND WHEN YOUR DAY IN THE GRINDER COMES, THINK OF WHAT PROUD GOO YOU WILL BE
We just got a robo vacuum yesterday and I am already emotionally attached to him. His name is Kyle. I would die for him.
When I was 25 I read The Road and it left me gutted for weeks. Just now, I played The Stillness of the Wind, a short 3 hour indie game, and now I feel just as gutted and empty as I did after The Road. Not the cozy farming game I was expecting :/
Listen, I'm still formulating my ✨hot take✨ on "eh-eye" art & ethics of it, but I DO have a very strong complaint on how technology has affected the aesthetics of my world and it's that the motherfucking winter sky is an entirely different color than it was when we were kids 😭
