2023 — Sarah J Schwartz

Hello from down east Maine! 😄 love D&D too! I haven’t played in ages tho! Gosh I miss it!

Hi all! My name is Sarah and I’m a product designer at Apple  

I’m also an abstract artist and live in my home studio in LA

Nice to meet you all 🤍

Welcome Dantley!! Stoked to see you here 😀

Nice! Yeah I caught a bit of your work over on Design Twitter. When I started we had a 1-page style guide. Now we’re a larger team (5 product designers), and have a mostly complete Ui kit (with barely any docs), and it’s partially code-synced. Long way to go 😅

Yes sir! It’s a tremendous place to work. 100% distributed. I’ve had the opportunity to work with designers and developers from all over the world! We have tons of products so the work stays fresh and challenging: Automattic.com

That’s awesome! Almost went with him to that but just couldn’t swing it at the time. Good to meet you too!

This makes me want to get back into lifting but I hate my gym. NYC gyms are kinda awful.

Hi Folks! I’m Jonas, a freelance brand designer & photographer.

Recently re-launched the portfolio in Framer (which is now available as template). 

Head over to jonasleupe.com and please; don’t hesitate to reach out. All in for a chat about all things design & tech

Ahh thanks!

Let’s sort a call at some point 😊

Upsides: When I volunteer to design for social impact projects, I am usually very passionate about the topic, they hit the soul deeply in a different way. The project I worked on was COVID related in March of 2020

Hey, Logan 👋

Designer & front-end engineer in Tampa, FL

Started at an agency, moved to a prop-tech company, now I’m at DigitalOcean and tinkering with a few projects on the side

Big into indie games, the business of coffee, and fitness

Lol I had this same reaction (:

I totally agree with needing a workshop of sorts. Then I could have much more room in the office. You can’t beat the feeling making something physically with your hands. A great feeling lol

Hi, everyone! 👋 I’m Joey, and I live in Columbus, Ohio, with my wife Kristen and our dog Ellie! I’m over at Webflow, working on our team’s design system, and enjoy teaching others about Figma. I’ve got a love for biking, sustainability, and connecting with others within design!

For sure. If I get to a point where I think I’m ready I’ll for sure reach out.

Hi, I’m Cathy 👋🏻 Curious about solving problems in e-commerce and consumer AI. I've adapted to a variety of operations, design, and product roles throughout my career. During my free time I like to spend time in the arts exploring photography, design, writing, and music.

Luckily got a hold of an x-t5 a couple of months ago. Check my feed, I just posted an image of it a few days ago!

Love this! Hi everyone! I’m Klarisse (or KG), a designer based in LA. I currently work in tech as a marketing design lead— but trying to find my way to a brand 🤝 product area. Passionate about ceramics, sustainable fashion, books…i got lots of hobbies lol

Haha yeah, I’ve been around the block in tech. And yeah, agree, great to meet some new faces!

My original thing was research leaning and big picture, I love doing IA and early stage UX, but I also always made websites which I ended up going deep on with Webflow — over time have become quite generalist, I guess.

I’m also a musician (mostly bass, vox), and a Dad of one.

Hi everyone! I’m Emily - I used to write comic books before becoming a product designer! I love making friends with crows, snowshoeing, all things Star Wars, and taking photos of Maine! Always looking for both fun things to work on!

Yo 👋🏻

I’m Rhys, a product designer at Acre Software. Acre’s a CRM for mortgage brokers, but I’m on the consumer side.

I design the Client Portal which brokers send out to their clients to complete the fact find, upload and sign documents etc

I’m a huge design nerd, and love talking about it. But outside of my work, I like to tinker and make things… art, robots, 3d printing, comics, and all sorts of creative stuff. Basically, I just want to study and learn all the cool and interesting things out there

What about you?

I’d certainly love to help, but I’d also first recommend taking a look at @danmall’s fantastic Design Systems Buy-In Deck – https://danmallteaches.gumroad.com/l/design-systems-deck

It’s a great journey, glad you’re loving it! Haha. I’ve never had the opportunity to hike over there, but here in the pacific coast of the US we’ve got lovely spots to hike in the cascades.

How did you get into flower arranging?

Yeah! That’s awesome, you’ve been there the whole 9 years? A good contrast to all the job hopping I’ve gone through with freelance and contracts. Haha

I haven’t gotten into photography yet, but I imagine those pics you take look mighty cool.

Hey all! I’m Darian. 

I’m a self taught designer in the Portland Or area. Originally a freelancer as a side hustle, I worked my tail off in brand identity design for websites and eventually converted to doing design systems for product for big corps.

My interest in fintech has spiked. Pretty sure I’ll be learning a lot from you

I also have a bachelor of fine arts with a focus in painting. Lately m, I’ve mostly dabbled with digital art but I hope to find time for oil painting again. Here’s something from a long time ago:

Haha it’s always a journey. That’s cool though that you have that many designers on it. I’ve always been a sole effort for the ones I’ve worked on. So it’s good that some companies do staff it out.

Ive seen a couple of friends use Arc, nothing but praises

Here’s some of my floral work

Amazing. How did I not know about this 😬 that might already help a lot. Thank you so much

By daylight I’m a Lead UX Designer for PayPal working on the front of site. By moonlight I build brands and sites for small businesses. 

My life is full thanks to my wife, our two kids, and loads of coffee.

Yeah, it wasn’t…great. Onwards and upwards 💪🏻

Hey Emily! I am currently getting into Korean food, I have been practicing the craft of making kimchi. The results have been great so far, but there’s still a lot more learn 🤓

In my spare time, I'm building artdept.club with @allworknosleep, working on my portfolio, playing with my kids, and building LEGO.

It really is!! I’ve got really fond memories of it and I always love hearing how other people played through it too! 😄

It’s not the most amazing picture but here’s the minimalist arrangement my wife made the other day! It was incredible to watch her gently bend the baby’s breath to have this drooping shape “to mimic snow falling” ☺️

My name is Edouard and I’m designing interfaces/systems for a new operating system/virtual computer.

I enjoy flowers and water. Like subscribe and comment if you like computers too.

Hello everyone! 👋🏻 I’m Liam.

I’m a Sheffield (UK) based graphic designer. I’ve been working in design professionally for just over 10 years. My main passion lies in branding and editorial, and I’ve recently started exploring motion a tad more.

😅 I ended up with a new design VP in the middle of my team being activated and felt like it put us in limbo for a few months. Not as hostile, but I can relate with thinking how the heck can I be focused rn.

So yeah, I understand. Glad to see you made it out in time tho 😆

Music wise… often sound like this: https://youtu.be/rS0EAt5Q8Ag

Though since the pandemic, the others in the band have moved on so been improving drums skills to record our album on my own

Thank you Darian. Can’t wait for my little girl. After our son was born, we had 2 miscarriages so my wife and I are pretty scared but thank god our little girl is healthy and everything looks good.

More than happy to chat nerdy stuff about design systems!

I write stuff like this: https://zeroheight.com/blog/author/dan-donald/ and this https://learninghub.zeroheight.com/hc/en-us/profiles/7265365023515-Dan and like this: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/author/dan-donald/

Hey! I’m Frederique and I’m a digital illustrator who now spends most time painting. But in a bigger sense I enjoy making things. I love knitting and sewing at the moment but if I had a shed I’d love to be woodworking too. One day. :))

Cannot wait for this to launch and contribute everything I know.

Good to see you here @dantley ! The design leading god 🫡

What a nice family! Love the expression on the little one’s face.
Maybe we can have a chat about leading digital design at a physical first company sometime. ☺️

I used to work in the music industry before pivoting to design (I was one of those “new pandemic new me” people 🥴), and now work at the intersection of the two, which is pretty neat!

Hi everyone.
I‘m Yasin, 36, happily married, 5yo son, end of May a daughter, fullstack dev that enjoys frontend more in the last years. Currently working for a local company and searching for a new job. I used to design around 15 years ago, now it’s my blog and side projects.

https://instagram.com/juan.far3d?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Ah I am using Arc as my default browser! Love it! 🙂

As a designer, I love prototyping and making things work the way I envision it.

I also love talking about work and design and management and tech! But outside of all that, I enjoy hanging out in coffee shops, hiking and exploring new areas, and watching both good and trashy tv.

That’s a huge family ❤️ P.S im a sucker for cats

I can’t copy/paste the hex out of the app. I’m gonna guess it is the same color as your hat?

Media conglomerates are fun, often there’s a lot of white-labeling behind the scenes and designing for multiple brands (:

Do you like it so far? Or ever want to design other industries?

helloo everyone! super happy to be here!

I’m Billy, a product designer most recently at Gusto. currently looking for my next role and am super excited abt complex problem spaces in b2b, AV, and data/ML. outside of design i’m super passionate abt film photography!

Hi 👋

I’m Ryan and live in the currently chilly state of Wisconsin.

After working in supply chain for years (and hating it) I started a side project that ended up getting acquired.

That acquisition brought me to Loops, where I am now Head of Content.

Hello hello, Rosalee here. 🫶 PR/comms/marketing pro who loves creative writing, photography, and (probably) most of all, music. Started on the piano for 8 years but ditched it for a drum kit & never looked back. Can’t wait to connect with more of you! 👋

I create visuals with 3D, AI and Figma. And when I don’t work I’m probably playing games, reading manga or doing something audio-related.

Nice to meet all of you!

Heyo, everyone 👋 I’m Kasper — designer based in Copenhagen 🇩🇰I’m currently working at Butter.us trying make online sessions/meetings/workshops more fun. On the side I try to take nice pictures and not use all my money on camera gear.

Hey @joeyabanks what a nice photo. May I ask you via which platform you teach figma?

Outside of work, you’ll find me bouldering, exploring art galleries and new cafes, painting, playing guitar and singing - I love learning new tools and skills so you’ll probably find me nose-deep in a Framer or Spline tutorial too 🤣

Loving this thread! Hi everyone, I’m Katie. 

My background is in graphic design, and I’ve been tinkering on the web since the era of the Tangerine iMac. I do both design and development, am a huge CSS nerd, and currently work on GitHub’s design system called Primer.

Before UX, I worked in Animation for TV (Dragons, TMNT). Dad to 1 👶 and 1 🐶! In my (little) free time, I snowboard, nerd out on comics, tv, and anime, and get inspired here! Excited to connect with y’all!

Hi! 🤗 I’m Emily, a UX Designer in Los Angeles 🌴 I’m in federal gov tech consulting, currently at US Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) 🏛️ Previous experience in B2B, B2C e-commerce, industrial supply, software engineering 👩🏼‍💻

Hi I’m Omer, I was supposed to be an industrial designer. Today I do product management for startups and building avtrs.ai on the side.

I was a big fan of the original Gowalla and psyched to see it back. Currently in beta/street team.

Oh hey Dan! I’m a big fan of your writing. I follow a lot of the zeroheight blog. I used to do a lot of writing in the past but haven’t been able to get back into it.

Also someone who loves talking nerdy design system stuff. Would love to have a chat sometime!

Hi 👋🏻 I’m Nicole. I was just laid off from Spotify on maternity leave and am joining Doordash next. I’m a Staff Content Designer now but before selling my soul to tech, I actually published a poetry collection and started my own business.

Such an awesome thread! Feels like Design Twitter in 2010. 

Hi I’m Christophe, and I’m head of product design at Plaid. Before that I’ve worked at Apple, Meta, Uber and Alto. I’m from France, live in California, and have 2 kids.

I can’t wait to hike in the pacific coast of US one day, it’s on my bucket list! I’ve hiked in England, Scotland, Italy and Iceland so far. 

I got into flower arrangements during lockdown as a way to deal with it all - I found it so calming 🌺

Awesome! I'll try to give them some peanuts ☺️

Great to meet you Rodrigo! what kinds of things do you like to cook?

Ooh, I love Plaid. Sounds like a good round of experience through all that.

Haha, I feel new communities like this are a great way for people to break out and meet some new people, so it’s good to break the ice :P

Welcome!

Hi friends, I’m Victor, a designer and writer, living in San Francisco, working at Hodinkee (hodinkee.com), and writing at presentable.substack.com

Congrats on the new baby, Yasin! It’s good to see a full stack dev that enjoys front end work. Haha, I always seem to run into the opposite. But having multiple disciplines under your belt can never hurt when it comes to trying to communicate more on what needs done (:

Hey! Nice meeting you. I’m Nicolas and I’m a product designer working in the e-mobility space!

This Rauno? https://rauno.me/

I recently found an article here that was really helpful.

I love when engineers are passionate about Ui because it makes design’s job much easier haha

What is your opinion on the Clone Wars cartoons?

To be honest, I enjoy both, they’re both different ways of working. In my experience B2C is a bit more creatively freeing whereas B2B is more technical and problem solving? Depends what mood I’m in haha

Oh - very close - Editorial New is so good. This one is actually Seriously Nostalgic Serif. They're very similar, tho.

Haha this sounds like me. If there’s something new to try to expand how I think about tooling or systems I usually dive in deep right away. Bouldering also sounds fun and exhilarating lol

What are some things that you’ve found useful in learning better visual design?

And yes, I was always someone who enjoyed backend and frontend, where frontend is a lot more fun with Next.js, TypeScript and TailwindCSS :)

inserting myself into this convo but best show out of the whole franchise

So sick Eric!! Is that Editorial New I spy on the site? 👀 my fave 🔥

Right on! One of the kindest, most giving, and talented guys I know. We connected in Florida at State of Flow, and have been close ever since. 

Great to meet you, Noah!

Nice! I think often times people forget there’s a whole backside to the things that the clients get to see. Curious, do you enjoy the client side, or biz side more?

Oh haha no no, we’re 5 designers on the design team total. Just me and one other designer on the design system 😅

Hello I am Raffi and I have been iterating on a single exercise tracking app since 2019 when I made my first mockups in PowerPoint

Ooh! I love your use of color in these. Good palettes and shapes for these little compositions. (:

Love video games, making latte art, snowboarding in the winter, and hiking in the summer. Currently really into playing Project Zomboid with my friends after hours.

Hi I'm Elly.
I'm a Taiwanese product designer living in Poland.
Currently looking for a new job opportunity. 
Recently started to play much more with Spline and Framer to get outside of the Figma comfort zone

What a fun cross section with consumer commerce and ai. I’ve not cofounded anything, but I have run my own ventures and absolutely love working for myself most.

What are some of the upsides to social impact projects and what were some of the hardest things with that?

Other than that I love arthouse movies, natural wine and my cat Balthazar

Hey Posties 👋

I’m John Choura. My last name is pronounced “core-uhh.” I spend my waking hours designing and building on the internet.

Duaa! Good to see ya, sorry you’re still trying to find work. This job market has been brutal. Plus you’re a great and dedicated designer that it’s sad people haven’t bit on your work yet.

100% anyone seeing this should hire Duaa.

Cuuuuuute 😍

I, and I think everyone here, appreciate all the things you do for the design community. Been so cool to follow your progress from twitter to webflow! I bet you’re learning so much over there haha

Hi 👋🏻 @lbg currently rolling out a brand new design system and launching an accessibility program from scratch. Quite an adventure 😄

That job sounds so fun 🥺 accessibility and inclusivity >>>

Hello everyone! 👋 I’m Brian and my real life job is a lighting artist in games, but I’ve recently started getting into UI and icons. Don’t know where I’m going with it but it’s been a great outlet that’s unique enough from my main work while still sharing a few similar aspects

Hi! I’m Raven and I’m a creative director at a startup at the crossroads between social media and music streaming.

I love designing and copywriting, but in my spare time I play video games and I’m writing a book.

Most of the career has been doing freelance / running design agency / startups.

Former musician, now my daughter’s music teacher. Favorite activities outside work are fun time with my 2 kids. One of them is a 6 year old human and the other, a 1.5 year old African Grey 🦜 .

Hi, thanks for starting this Darian!

I’m Fry — primarily a UX and web designer, from a Psychology background. Was freelance for 9 years and then joined a music startup (Endlesss) where I do all facets of design so trying to improve quickly at final UI and graphic design!

Hi 👋 I’m David, a design 'generalist' based in Hamburg. In my work life, I’ve done a bit of everything, but with a focus on brand. On the side, I obsess about coffee, street photography, and Jazz. I’m horrible at playing the trumpet, but I give it a go once in a while.

Welcome! Would love to know more about the Design Ops initiatives you’re running at Instacart @giamarieyoung

Nice! I work with a bunch of DTs at eBay, they’re focused on a mix of tooling and product. Did you lean more towards one or the other?

I would consider myself in that bucket as well, but I’m hired on as a designer

👋 I’m Matt, currently based in LA via Portland via SF. I’m a developer/designer and really love bringing delight and magic to products I work on. Was a design technologist at Medium for > 5 years, but for the past year have been doing freelance for smaller teams. Love 0->1.

Right?? And there’s so much to dive deep on as a designer right now, very exciting but also overwhelming…

And yes! But like tbh the very last campaign I ended up playing was Strahd. I DM’d and it was an INCREDIBLE journey all the way through so if fate decides that ends up being my only chance to play with a group consistently, then so be it 😆🖤

Hello! I’m a Product Design Lead for Accessibility on the Design Systems team at Grammarly. I love visual patterns and I am a bit obsessed with creating inclusive experiences. It’s lovely to meet you all!

Oooh Space Western! Excellent! Hmu if you ever wanna talk hosting - I ran in the webcomics circle for years and I have thoughts I’m happy to share about how to best put comics up online! 😄

In my free time I love to dabble with side projects (like creating an online community for underrepresented designers), traveling, and powerlifting 🏋🏽‍♀️ let’s be pals! ✨

👋 I’m Aaron. I’m very bad at intros. I’ll “popcorn” to the next person.

Hey everyone 👋! 

I’m Stef and I’m new to Product Design and absolutely loving the journey into design so far! 

In my spare time, I love to do flower arrangements, play indie games and hiking!

Oh nice! Did mostly product stuff, but my internal side hustle was building figma plugins and other random tooling for fun. 🙂 Sometimes acting solely as a designer, sometimes engineer, sometimes prototyper. I like the flexibility and variability of going between the roles

Hey, Dan here. I run an intentionally small Product Design studio called Rubber. We help companies such as GetYourGuide, Burberry and Wonderbly deliver all sorts of digital things. www.rubberstudio.co 

Previously, I led and managed design team at Farfetch, JustEat and Fresha.

Tried posting here a few times with no luck, maybe a thread will work 🥹🤞🏽

Hi fellow Posters!

I’m Riley (based out of St. Louis MO)

Hi! I'm Ethan, a final semester CS student in Oklahoma City. I'll be joining Google in Seattle as a SWE later on this year, and I'd love to make my way into a UXE role later on.
