Happy New Year & hello again!

Hello, design friends 👋

First of all, Happy New Year! I hope you’re stepping into 2025 feeling inspired and ready for whatever’s next. I know I am.

It’s been a while since my last newsletter. You might have completely forgotten about ctrlalt.club, but I haven’t forgotten about you. Life got very busy, so I decided to take a break rather than send rushed content. Now that I’m settling into my new life as a full-time solo designer, maker, and parent, I’m excited to say I’m back. 💯

I’ve missed sharing my thoughts, design learnings, and productivity tips that helped and continue to help me as a solo designer. Now that I am back to working on my own products, I’m learning new things every week, so stay tuned.

As always, thanks for sticking with me. Your support and curiosity are what makes this so fun. And a big thank you to everyone who reached out during the break to check-in. I really appreciate it. If you have questions or topics you’d like me to dive into, reply and let me know.


Here is to a creative, productive, and fulfilling year!

See you soon,
Julie — @syswarren
