This is not that.
12x is an experimental attempt to capture the discussions we have in our private lives and... internet them. One-to-many (well, like three of you) communication with the flavour of one-to-one.
now with playlistsMainly, the stuff we already talk about. Big, small and mid-size abstract ideas that have been on my mind, what I'm working on at that moment in time, cool design stuff I think you might like, good tunes to listen to, and a few (I promise, just a few) links to interesting articles or videos online.
Honestly, one email a month is going to be enough of a challenge. I have nothing to sell you (yet), I just wanna talk.
The whole point in me doing this is to spark conversation. So I need you. If you want to talk about something I wrote, just hit reply. If you know someone who might like any of the topics, forward it. If I'm doing a horrible job, or there's something you'd like to see in a future email, let me know. I might even run a little survey eventually.
If the monospace font is annoying, I'm sorry. It's an experiment. Trying to get away from my usual style. It might change.

In 2016, I experienced burnout and have been struggling to get creative projects off the ground ever since. 12x is a super-personal therapy project aimed at lowering the stakes and restoring creative confidence.
