🌟 Design Tip: Optimize for Mobile First 📱 In today's world, designing for mobile is not an afterthought—it's a priority. Start your design process with mobile layouts to optimize usability and functionality for smaller screens.

🎨 Design Tip: Embrace Color Psychology

Colors are not just visual elements; they evoke emotions and convey messages.

Today, a few people mentioned to me that despite being introverted, I seem very well-connected and always ready to enjoy a good party.

If you've always had a mechanic change your vehicle's air filters, you might be surprised to learn just how simple it is to do it yourself. I just replaced mine for the first time and it was incredibly straightforward!

Hypothetically speaking, if I knew someone that wanted to read books on their couch or next to the pool and get paid doing it, where would one start? 😈

Does it drive anyone else crazy that the notifications tab on Twitter and Threads is the fourth item (second from the right) but on here, it’s in the middle?

Jakob’s Law…

💡 Design Tip: Utilize Whitespace Effectively

Whitespace isn't just empty space—it's a powerful tool in design. It helps to create a visual hierarchy, guiding the viewer's eye across the page.

Announcing on social media that you'll be at Config next week and wanna meet up with other designers that also struggle with imposter syndrome and social anxiety feels like an endless void unless you're an internet personality.

Would you be interested in watching me livestream building Tailwind components on Twitch?  

If not on Twitch, reply with what platform you prefer.

Started componentizing elements in the Tailwind Application UI file.

More to come but I've included avatars, badges, dropdowns, buttons, and button groups so far.

I recently took over Friends of Figma, Tampa Bay, while also being a part of another design community, Tampa Bay Designers. 🧑‍🎨

We're excited to use this platform to promote our events and engage with our community. 🎨

The HTML to Figma plugin has been freezing Figma the past couple days. Is this happening to anyone else?

I saw a color palette plugin for Figma float around social media this morning or yesterday and I can't remember what it was called and now it's driving me crazy.

Here is what a set of screens prepped and ready for handoff to dev could look like for any given feature

- Section for local components (default and filled) and for each flow
- Styles are accessed via Dev Mode
- Notes are documented and added to a scoped out ticket

What are the trendy things to do with web design these days?

Ah, the true instinctive design process, down and to the right.

🎶 Figma's my weapon. Autolayout's my rage. Variables collide. A digital rampage. 🎶 https://suno.com/song/2212eb12-ef46-4b45-be38-db6d06c5cb7e

Getting my staycation started right with Framework by @figma.design and a Modelo in hand. 🤙🍺

I often embrace impostor syndrome, whether in sports, hobbies, or my career, placing myself where I'm the least knowledgeable. It's usually enlightening, sometimes frustrating, but always educational.

Happy last day of the month everyone!

What are you working on this week?

If you haven't explored my Tailwind community resources yet, here's a sneak peek of what you'll find inside.

UX Question:

As the user starts typing, should we display an error immediately and continuously until the field validates, or should we only show the error on blur (when the user leaves the field)?

Over 200 of you have already duplicated my Application UI file from Figma and I only started adding to it around a week ago. Thank you! 🙏

📐 Design Tip: Leverage Grid Systems for a Cohesive Layout 🌟

Grids are your secret weapon for creating structured, balanced designs. They help align elements perfectly, ensuring your layout looks organized and professional.

🛠️ Design Tip: Master the Art of Typography

Typography is not just about choosing fonts—it’s about creating a readable, accessible, and harmonious visual experience. Pay attention to font choice, hierarchy, spacing, and alignment.

I wish I could paste whatever image I have on my clipboard to a post here.

Apple autocorrecting hell to he’ll is up there with one of the greatest worst autocorrects.

👁️‍🗨️ Design Tip: Simplify User Navigation

Simplifying navigation is key to improving user experience. Aim for a menu that's easy to understand and quick to use, cutting down on the number of options to avoid overwhelming users.

Yo! There wasn't an "Extrovert with Social Anxiety" sticker so I had to settle for ambivert. 

If you see me, say hey.

Happy Monday everyone!

I whipped up a case study this weekend for a feature I worked on a few months ago.

How was yours?

🔍 Design Tip: Use Contrast to Enhance Readability

High contrast between text and background significantly improves readability. This is crucial not only for aesthetic appeal but also for accessibility. Ensure your text stands out clearly against its background.
