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

Ok, a question for the group:

As brand designers, what metrics do you gather to defend your work?

Context: looking for better ways to defend my team results at an in-house Design group

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

This week I'm going all in on creating and learning new tools:
- Trained a GPT to help me build Figma Plugins;
- Trying to build a Google Slides to Figma Plugin;
- Now installing Unreal and learning about iPhone base Mocap

Big events get me doing crazy shit 🥹

Hi Posts 👋 haven’t been here in a while.
Just sharing that our conference: Layers, from Friends of Figma Portugal is back September 20 and I’m loving the brand and digital experiences we’ve been building!

Who’s joining us in Lisbon on Online?

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

How's your late-night design session fellow European buddies 💀

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.

Playing with my personal brand, and I believe "serving your head on a platter" is a good metaphor for serving creativity, don't you think? 😈

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

Vacations mean “postcards” from the South of Portugal 😎

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

Me while animating complicated presentations in Figma:

"I wish Figma would let me have either variables for animation curves or pre-saved custom animations 😩 so much copy and paste!"

Just sayin 😜 this 👇 or something like it would be nice.

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. ❤️

My current workload when it comes to conferences:

Sept 20 - Lead organizer on Design con.
Oct 11 - Speaker at Design con.
Oct 15/16 - Lead designer at Tech con.
Nov 15 - Leading a workshop at Design Con.

In between this, a training certificate course, my day job & side gigs 🙃

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 🙃

Not me animating tiny Icons in Figma on a Sunday 😬

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:

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

Not me redesigning my portfolio yet again cause it doesn’t scale well beyond the homepage. 😂

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.  🥰

Looking for inspiration. 💡
Who has your favorite design portofolio?

I need to find those hidden gems 😎

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?
