Now is kind of bad time for companies to join Post. Like, just wait a second… or a month. Give us a month.

I think(?) this is happening: enjoying that Post will surface up new replies to threads which you’ve responded to. Really helps encourage continuing a conversation.

My boyfriend says I should share my old photography work… fun fact: I used to own a photography studio (it was my first business) and shot for the major modelling agencies in Toronto.

We've just opened up a Staff Product Designer position at Strava!  Come work with me on motivating people to move.  And if you don't mind, repost and share with anyone relevant!  Thanks 🙌

Been a good run y’all. That’s a wrap. ✌️😅

Exciteeeddddd to finish work early so I can go back to reading 😆

It's been a while since I've refreshed the website; spent a pretty penny on these typefaces for something new.

How would you hope this community is different from Design Twitter?

Does anyone know what it’s like to work at Github as a designer? Asking out of sheer curiousity.

SF is the type of place where the convenience store next to you sells two singular bag of chips and you can’t be sure that they’re in stock.

Who are people you like who are great at building in public? (Personal projects, businesses and more)

I feel a bit (A LOT!) disconnected from the design industry so it’s nice to have a place for that.

Spent tonight doing a quick bio refresh on the .com: https://helentran.com.

It’s like buying a new dress. Feels good still to launch things, no matter how tiny.

For the life of me I can’t figure out why design tools at this point don’t have an “auto-table” maker. Like why is Microsoft Word better than us here.

Testing a new food product with anonymous surveys is literally the same results as user testing. Some people really just make stuff up. 😂

Became Twitter official this morning with AngelList:

"I accepted a role as the Product Design Lead back in Nov. Joining a team of designers for the first time in 6(!) years was very exciting and they, along with the wider team, have been welcoming so far."

What’s your favourite design history chapter?

Exploring charts… all day, every day.😅

Forgot to drop the new website link: https://helentran.com.

I have a PortCo client who is looking for a contract lead product designer for 20h/week. I’ve worked with them and they’re easy to work with.

Is anyone free for this and has a portfolio I can shoot them?

I shipped my samples out a couple of weeks ago for my protein boba line—very nervous and excited about this.

How often do you reflect on if you’re doing the right things for your goals or vision for your life?

Wassup y’all! I’m not a visual designer but I’m looking for ways to learn. There are a bunch of online course options but I figured I’d ask this community: would anyone here be open to teaching/helping me learn some of the fundamentals? Hoping to build connections @ the same time

Michelle Yeoh is the first Asian actress to win best actress at the Oscars in its 95 year history.   🥰

really hard to be patient with teams sometimes

1. Well, we can ship the bastardized version of this incrementally learning on unstable foundations
2. We can still ship incrementally but more structured beautiful work

*narrator* they pick #1
