Cynicism about the job market is valid/understandable, and expressing frustration is okay. 

Negativity loves company; however, it’s not fair to contribute to fear or anxiety in others. Staying hopeful, motivated, and supportive is essential.

Launching it to the world around here: I’m starting to look for my next role.

If you’re in need of a lead designer or creative director, or know someone looking, let me know ☺️ my portfolio is non existent at this point but trying to get it ready asap

As part of Figma’s little big updates launch, we just added search to the desktop new tab page!

Just hit cmd+t, type, then open a file. It’s super fast and means you can quickly jump back into files without cluttering up open tabs with inactive work.

15 seconds might be too small but I think y’all can jump to my TikTok to hear the rest 😊

Been thinking about listing my Vynil collection on my personal website. What y’all think? Cool? No one cares? ☺️

Playing around with a brand for a personal project. Not sure if it will ever be live 😅 but I had to put it out there. What y'all think?

Started building my portfolio a while ago then stopped. Finally back it. https://posts.cv/bfigas/7ouTQ1BJiMOiU09oJLST

Soooo I just seen a show by a band called Pussy Lickers and it was… interesting 😂 but super fun

Out here to steal @alexdee internet bot title 😎

Procreate Dreams is so much fun 😍
Illustration + animation in about 40min, most of it was illustration time in procreate.

If I can help set talented folks up with roles (freelance or full time), let me know! Tons of folks I know in climate are looking for design help. :)

Today our community announced LAYERS! 🥳
The first ever Friends of Figma conference led by our Portugal chapter.

It’s gonna be an hybrid conference so you can see it from anywhere in the world, or join us in Person in Lisbon or Porto.

Spent the last hour playing around, learning and building a website with some 3D elements and some physics, using Figma, Spline and Webflow, all on my iPad 😁

IPad workflow is getting better and better. ❤️

Actually, can someone enlighten me; how did UI designers design UI before Figma? Illustrator??

My brother-in-law has appendiceal cancer and the family could really use financial support. If you'd like to help, their GoFundMe is here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/supporting-jjs-cancer-treatment

2 icon sets I’ve been developing for a couple of freelance projects. Can y’all tell the industries of both? 🤓

Have you ever opened a Figma file and had zero idea what has changed since your last visit?

Hey post mates, if you’re up to it, me, @alexdee and @claraujiie will be live at FoF Discord in about 2h or so to talk about all the Little Big Updates from Figma. Come chat with us 😉

In full honesty, I just want to make cool shit again, with the purpose of being just that. Probably time to start doing some non-work work like that

Visiting the UK for the week starting in Manchester.
Always a good opportunity to get back to street photography. ❤️

Today @ridd reminded me of this fun thing I built with @jabronus icons 🥰

Not me loosing my wallet on a public park on a sunny Sunday… 🥲 let’s hope someone finds it and takes it to the cops…

Yo @cv team. Any chance you can help me replace my associates email? Lost my original domain so I can’t really login through email code and can’t access posts or CV on my other devices now 🙃

Status update on using the iPad as my main design machine. On today’s notes:
- Update on using Figma;
- How Webflow runs;
- Maze almost works;
- Using external screen;
- General notes.

TIL that Figma actually has their own color palette generator on the official website:

Hey @andy is there a time limit to the data we have access here? Was looking for a thread I started a while ago to extend on it, but I can only go back 20 days and I can’t finds that thread.

I call this the Laundry day standing desk 😅

Today’s workspace with Posts and Figma 🥰

Last week we announced Layers, today I explained it a bit more so you know what to expect! Who's joining us? https://fof-layers.pt

We just released a fresh build with some colorful new onboarding illustrations by @hannahlee! Such a pleasure getting to work together 🌞

Decided to share my 36 Days of Type here too.

The font design is mine, the artwork is #ai generated through Midjourney, and everything was designed in Figma, using an iPad as my main tool.

Had the Arc email waiting to get a Mac for months now 😅 the day has arrived 😎

Well, I think my 36 Days Of Type is working great. This is week 1 results 🥳🥳🥳

Hadn’t posted anything on Dribbble for a while, but the way they make your “re-bound” shot, or your first shot back, go a bit more viral so you feel like you achieved something is really bad.

Like I went from 1.7k views to 18 and now 8, on 3 different posts posted 1 day apart

Yay or nay?

Context: a new design conference

Paying for products you love.
I wish I could have started doing this a long time ago. Happy to be a supporter @cv team ❤️

I’m still recovering from Layers 🧡 what a day.
So god damn lucky to be able to create and live through these passion projects.  🥰

Attn: early career folks who started in their first design role (in any function) in the past 1-2 years! Wanna be on a panel for Figma's second season of early career week?!

If you wanna connect with us and possibly share your experience, drop a comment 👇

Had a great time in Manchester and I’m dropping more shots on my Instagram https://instagram.com/bfigas now in London so will share a few of those during the next days.

Anyone else doing 36 Days of Type this year?
