If we don't share our ideas and thoughts with the rest of the world, what exactly is our value as designers?

A little peek at what I’ve been working on for Logo Coming Soon. 

If you’d like to demo, dm me!

The component design for yesterday. Cmd + K Global search for a task management application.

I think we should be designing and posting our stuff more online.

I got carried away building logocomingsoon.com so, hey, let’s launch it!

I found an emotional and insightful one by @pedropeguerojr

after months and months of a shift in my language i finally understand the difference between asking what and asking why

Portfolios are the bane of my existence. 

Getting a website to look nice on a website is just so hard. Strongly considering just putting like 4 case studies and being done.

I’ve just counted 8 out the first 10 posts in Highlights are about either design, technology, code, or working (digitally) for a corporation. 

There’s definitely not enough of other things (fields of work, life, art, reflections, and so on)

I’m working on a new thing and looking for principle product designers to talk to. Who should I talk to?

Designing two components a week... Week 2 - An iOS widget.

Design a color picker challenge 💙💜 Shoutouts to @danmag @tobie @wwwjim and Andy Alimbuyuguen for their amazing designs & feedback which greatly helped to improve mine!

@akshara that's the best approach! Just let it be and with time quality of your portfolio will get where you want it to be
Imho pressure and anxiety about perfection do the opposite, so yeah just do it 🙌

Who would be interested in a Posts/Read.cv meetup this summer in NYC? 

I want to structure it like a show and tell of what you're working on or what excites you the most with good food and conversation. 100% free, just pull up and enjoy good company.

Thoughts?

Yes, this is my experience as well 😅. Though it’s great when they allow me to put my hands on their code a little to make it right 🙈

Alot of tech companies big or small don't hire from Africa despite how big and fast the market is. Scrolling through filters on careers pages only to realize all continents exist but Africa doesn't really hurts.

I wonder why because it's really not about talent.

When you're applying for jobs, how do you tackle "why do you want to work here", "what excites you about this job", "why should we be excited to have you on our team" type of questions? This always trips me up, and I'm always lost trying to answer these questions.

The most amazing and talented people are here on posts, posting pictures of their food 😂. Seems there's just this food/lifestyle culture on this platform, I love it though.

I might get put to the flames for this take 😅 but the likes of dribbble, awwwards, etc does not reward good UX. There are unlimited templates and libraries that have outstanding UI kits. That’s straightforward. The problem solving part isn’t solved by smooth animations.

Hey guys, I'm excited to finish my first case study for the year... Been working on Pucket for a while... I loved working on it... would love to hear your feedbacks. https://www.behance.net/gallery/199908141/Pucket-Mobile-App-UI-presentation

Another day to create a base component ✨

just realized part of why Posts feels clean is no quote posts 😬

Finally! An amazing site not overloaded with animations... Thanks for sharing ⭐

I’d love to build a product *with* someone. 
Mostly PHP with a good bit of React, ReactNative, MySQL and Postgres knowledge sprinkled in.

Anyone need a buddy? 👨🏻‍💻☕️

Having the things happen that you want to happen is a truly surreal feeling. There's probably more confusion than excitement, especially if you've been working towards something for years. "Wait, that worked? I did the right things?"

Don't forget. Always do more than expected. Sometimes

The simple path to wealth. Big fan of Ryan’s writing, my favorite of his is “The obstacle is the way”

Do you have a say in who gets through the door at your company? Have you ever said, "this person just doesn't have the right experience for this role" about a candidate? 

If so, have you ever wondered how anyone is going to get that experience if no one gives them a chance?

Hey everyone! Just revamped my portfolio again! Still on the hunt for a full-time product design gig. With 2 years of experience in both research and design, I'm keen on roles that blend the two. If your team's hiring pls reach out! tah-reem.com

📖 Thinking about sharing my journey from product designer to design engineer...  Interested?

more people need to realize you can just do stuff

Saw this on the careers section of a startup website. Made me chuckle 😄

Nothing/no one can save the world alone, but everything/any one can contribute to save the world, actions is that thing that contributes, wether is go volunteering, or designing posters to promote volunteering, or creating an app to locate volunteering centers near you.

A work in progress... Currently prototyping 👀

Soft launching the first product of the “Sooite” - getamenoo.com 🎉 

This is the first of many micro-tools to be launched in the coming months. Any kind of feedback is welcome!

I've been thinking about interviewing a lot lately. Specifically about how different functions are evaluated. Engineers seem to be evaluated on their potential. Designers seem to be evaluated on past performance.

What will help in this job market: You can help your unemployed friends by referring or introducing someone to a hiring manager or someone on the hiring team. If you are a privileged white male, consider helping folks outside of your bubble.

Hi guys, please what's your experience working with PRD's? Have you ever created one yourself? What do you think the positives are?

- Make thoughtful decisions
- Care about the results
- Show compassion for those you work with
- Follow your intuition, make your own path

B2B apps need more thoughtful design. You can have both beauty + function… they’re not mutually exclusive.

What book are you currently reading? I'm reading "Ego is your enemy" by Ryan Holiday.

I listened to the summary before, but reading the book itself is just on another level.

this app is like a cover song better than the original one

Job hunting can be really daunting, especially if it's your first role you're looking for.

So while I'm currently creating my portfolio:
- I've been browsing companies that fit my persona (agencies in my case) and adding them to a list.

I’m available until the end of this month/beginning of next to offer my expertise in product and web design. If you need any assistance, let's chat! 🙂
