Just the other side of the workspace 🛋️

Lots of designers on here so... to those who work weekends... do you see it as a sacrifice or is this just a different version of 'me' time? 🕰️

How do designers log design decisions? How does a designer picking up a project from another designer find out why something is the way it is? 🤔

Latte is the only kinda art I'm any good at... 🫠☕️

Layoffs feels like a great time to try a new Twitter alternative out 🫠🙃
Hello there 👋

Navigating the first layoff isn't quite what I thought it would be like... even though I've sort of been preparing myself for it for a while. 🎢

A beast of a machine that powers the daily pixel pushing. ⚡️

The new macs are slick–really fast and buttery smooth. After getting heaps of recommendations, here's the first set of apps I installed starting with some previously used favs (minus work apps):
Arc
Raycast
CleanshotX
Warp
TickTick

And some new ones:
Notch Nook
Numi
Warp
Loop

I do enjoy the lil coffee nook we got here

Making something in the physical realm is a different kind of fun. 👨‍🎨

Enjoyed 10 days of designing icons for the finance world! Happy to now share this lil set as a wee Figma community file. 🫶

Unpopular opinion: I really like the Opal webcam. 🤷‍♂️

Day 3 • Financial icons • FI003
Stacked coins were harder than I thought! 😅

Design system names have to be one of those struggles that looks really good when looking back at. Some 🔥 DS names out there

Work send over the new m4 mac so obviously looking for app recommendations! 🍎

Not to be super opinionated or something but a grid is the only way to organise your banana on peanut butter toast. 


Also if you're a designer you might see the Figma logo and that is intentional.
