Hey y’all! Can we get an #introductions thread going? (Also, search doesn’t work for posts so I couldn’t scroll far back to see if any was created) There’s many new and familiar faces, and it’s cool to see so many great types of designers all together. Share some stuff!

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.

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’m working on getting them posted publicly. Trying to figure out a good format, whether it’s a site for it, or through Instagram. It’s a comic that i want to have a homage to the space western genre I love so much. The only part I have on my phone rn is a background

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! 😄

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