I’m looking for a remote product design job. I know more about humility than anyone you currently employ.

“Too subtle to be noticeable” is not the same thing as “won’t affect how people feel”. Or at least that’s what my wife says

College was so important to me learning about people from other cultures and learning to love people. Sure hope my kids don’t drop out and chase money without broadening their world view.

Today my #designtokens obsession became my dream job. 🤩 Super excited to be joining the Tokens Studio team (officially) to help the community better understand this powerful tech! I'll still be sharing my non-tokens, nerdy designer pro-tips as per usual. 😜

Found a design system where all the font weights were over 600. Thought that was a bold choice.

We've come to the end of the road, it's the last day of NewsKit Design 😢 Huge thanks to the design systems community for your support and for putting up with our puns. Not much to say aside from thank you for the NewsKit...time for redundancy. Follow us: @LC_Finch @gerireid

Did you know that @figma auto-converts any value to full hex color in all color inputs? 🎨 I wish all apps could do that. ...and now they can! 🔥 I just published a tiny npm package that does the conversion, so everyone can replicate this easily too. npmjs.com/package/expand-to-…

Looking into doing some DIY, as I walked through the paint section, I found myself thinking about the paint charts are a lot like how we set out styles in design systems. We have lots of options to choose from, and we give them context based on the rooms we put them in. Thoughts?

Why no-code when you can know-code! I think it's important that we learn as much as possible in life, we learn to love and we love to learn. But ultimately do what makes you happy kids.
