About me
Ali Berlin Johnson
I'm an illustrator, designer, and engineer.
With a degree in biomedical engineering and a love for all things creative, I am a designer who tackles problems by extending functionality through ease and delight. When not at a computer, I can be found baking cookies, seeking quiet outdoor spaces, and pointing out all the dogs that cross my path. I am currently available for contract work to help you with your design needs:

Sleepy computer
Dynamic wallpaper
You work hard, but so does your computer. This
dynamic wallpaper changes how sleepy your computer looks based on the time of day.
Instructions
Download sleepyComputer.heic and add it to /Library/Desktop Pictures/ to
make it available as one of your dynaimc desktop options in System Prefrences
Requires macOS Mojave
Thanks to mczachurski's console application via GitHub
Discliamer & known bugs: Custom dynamic wallpapers aren't officially supported by Apple so it's possible it could suddenly stop working
with future updates, but I will try to fix and update here! Currenly known bugs include the thumbnail not showing up correctly in System Preferences
