About

The Cursor Magazine isn’t your typical design newsletter. Maybe newsletter isn’t even the right word, since this publication doesn’t focus on the new and shiny in the design world. My goal with this is not to add to the noise in your inbox but rather invite for a conversation or leave you with a new insight.

Recurring topics in The Cursor

Personal reflections on design and career progression
Deep dives into design and art topics
Thoughts on design and facilitation tools and methodologies

I’m a product designer and content creator based in Amsterdam, NL. Coming from a non-design background, I experienced first-hand the struggles of switching careers and getting started in a new industry. These struggles are the drive behind this publication.

A note on the usage of AI

It is important to me that my articles reflect my voice and views. Therefore, all texts you read here are written by me. I use ChatGPT to give me editing and structuring input. I try to create the visuals myself as much as I can using Figma but occasionally, I generate visuals using Stability Matrix.
