Fraunces is a lot of fun and quite versatile.

I've also been a long-time fan of Playfair Display

The hardest part about measuring design impact is connecting discrete outcomes to lagging indicators such as churn or customer retention or even growth.

Especially in the case of startups, where usage numbers are not always statistically significant, and you have to rely on qualitative feedback.

Where do we go as a society when AI inaccuracy permeates even scientific literature?

How can you fact check something when even science is susceptible of made up facts?

Going with this one

Explorations for my upcoming talk at #tcuk

AI made polished writing the norm. Humans writers now look for ways to write less perfectly. More raw. To signal humanity.
Analog lenses, vintage filters, tape effects, unpolished writing. We yearn for real.
Perfection became the mark of the machine.

For research. Erika Hall's Just Enough Research. Best one. Period.
For UI. Check out Refactoring UI by Tailwind, Matt D. Smith and Fons Mans.
For UX. Nielsen Norman group and Pavel Samsonov.
For design engineering. Dan Hollick on X.
For product. Lenny's Podcast, blog and newsletter.

I find the concept of customer-centricity to be silly. For a couple of reasons:

Number one is that I truly believe referring to people as "customers" or "users" often dehumanizes the individuals we, as designers, are committed to serve.

Number two is that without customers there's not business.

A lot of work of design is explaining concepts so people understand them with the least amount of context possible.

Raycast lets you search for any file in your Google Drive without taking your hands off the keyboard. 🤯

I use a lot of shortcuts and tools like Raycast, not to work faster, but to minimize micro-distractions.

You don't want anything to take your attention off the work.

I really believe the quality of your focus has an impact on the quality of the result.

Pasting OKLCH codes into Figma automatically converts them to P3 HEX (if you're using the P3 color profile)

"Dope" and "awesome"

One of the biggest challenges in communications is explaining others why you're excited about something.

I recreated the liquid glass effect in @figma.com

I'm starting a Slack group for solo/founding designers.

If you're interested, drop a comment or DM me and I'll send you an invite.

Keeping it to max 10 people for now!

Don't tell me your product uses AI. Everyone has that.

Tell me how it makes me richer, fitter, or happier or all of the above.

Another day, another AI company promises to replace workers on a mass scale soon™️ (in this case: Anthropic, 20%, 5 years).

But don't look at what they *say*.

Anthropic sells to enterprises on a per-user model. What's likelier: they designed a self-obsoleting business model or they're full of shit?

Haha exactly
