New episode of UX Outpost is up!
We tested AI prompt styles and turned the output into a real Figma design system.
Prompting matters more than you think.
💡 Learn to work with AI, not fear it.

🚨 New UX Outpost episode just dropped!
This week, Nolan ran me through a usability test for his task management app and let’s just say… it didn’t survive unscathed 😬💥

Why is Substack bad?
POV: You’re trying to convince yourself (and your spouse) that a $22K screen is a reasonable purchase 🤡 But that auto-sequencing though… #SelfAware #ExpensiveHobbies #DigitalArt #FirstWorldProblems

🎬 I'm launching a design show with RadNolan this week!
🎨 Design St. Pete is BACK!
No slides, no speakers — just local designers, creatives & makers connecting over real conversations.
Location TBA
Join us: meetu.ps/e/P69JY/BG8T...
Streaming app idea: Let couples sync shows across both profiles when watching together 📺
No more "which account has our show?" Just mark it "shared" and it appears in both Continue Watching lists.
Why isn't this a thing yet? 👫

Why go to college when you can get summa cum claude? @anthropic.com
Just discovered the "Ask Granola" feature and I'm obsessed! 🤩 Being able to search across ALL my meetings is an absolute game-changer.
Not sure when they added this (probably in last week's update) but it's exactly what I've been waiting for since day one! @meetgranola.bsky.social
I have to stare off into space to get good ideas.
I'm stoked for @figma.com Make!
But what I really want is a seamless loop between chat, prototype & design.
Make a change anywhere? Updates everywhere.
I'd like to see the full properties panel instead of the limited floating toolbars when selecting elements.
We're excited for tonight's meetup! We'll do our best to track everyone down, but if you can't find us, just look for the group of people who look like designers (you know the vibe).
Can't find us? Join us on Slack and we'll guide you to the right spot. tampabaydesigners.slack.com
Today marks my two year work anniversary at Feathr so I wanted to share a little bit about my process, our design system and how things are organized. open.substack.com/pub/aweir/p/...

Solo designers: document your journey, celebrate small wins, and nurture those engineering relationships. The most meaningful improvements happen through collaboration.
#ProductDesign #SoloDesigner
Perfect? No way. We've got a long design debt list. But I'm proud of how far we've come as a team, one sprint at a time.
What I've learned: Great design implementation needs engineering allies who care about details. The best work happens when developers take design ownership alongside you.
This journey wasn't solo despite my title. Endless gratitude to Alex, our senior front end engineer who championed many updates, and to Paul, Omar, and David who sneak visual improvements into the app whenever possible.
Being the only designer has its tough days, but moments like this—seeing tangible improvement—make it all worthwhile. Our interfaces are cleaner, more cohesive, and more intuitive than ever.
