Overwhelmed by the dozens of design systems articles that are published daily? Not sure where to start? I have an idea β why not start with our book? π‘ππ€ It covers starting, selling, collaborating, maintaining, and more, all in one lovely package. π designsystemfoundations.com/

Hello! I wrote a post (owltastic.com/words/re-introβ¦) sort of recapping what life has looked like for the last 10 years, where I hope to be headed, career-wise, and just generally giving an idea of what you can expect from me in the future.

I also redesigned my site! It's hand-coded with no CMS, it's still quite rough around the edges and not where I want it to be, but I loved working on it and I want to be brave enough to share imperfect things. Anyway, this is me getting the ball rolling on sharing again. β€οΈ

It will sound like this rant is about me, but it's actually about a pattern I see from talking to several friends on the job hunt (and yeah, it's a lot about me too). Get ready for some HOT TAKES! π₯π£

I know this is all very "okay boomer" of me, but I am curious if anyone else has seen this pattern too. I also suspect tech companies want people with no personal life so they can "give it all" to the company. No baby? The CEO is your baby! No partner? Spend weekends with us! π

Been doing some tinkering on the old website again and loving it. No CMS this time, just hand coding each page with love, and remembering how good it feels to write HTML for fun. π¦π

Just discovered @google's Inclusive Marketing guide: all-in.withgoogle.com/audienβ¦. Seems like a fantastic easy to navigate, free resource to help creators produce more inclusive and representative work. Excited to give it a thorough read!

I have a lead on a principal product designer who's looking for a new opportunityβdesign systems focused, tons of experience, ideally with lots of autonomy and ownership. Anyone looking, let me know and I'll put you in touch! #TechisHiring (?)

Here's the thing: I basically took 5 years off from web development in order to: move 4 times, help my parents after my mom got cancer, get married, pregnant, and have twins, raise them sans childcare in the pandemic, and recover from post-partum depression and anxiety (thread):

I am just now discovering Variable Fonts! WebP! And really getting into CSS grid! So many great developments to catch up on. I feel like someone emerging from a coma into a brave new world, and let me just say, well done gang! You made some great stuff while I was away.

So... what else should I go catch up on? (Big question, I know). I feel like I'm just randomly going through five years of @css archives, which might take awhile lol. What have we been up to? Also, where do people have these convos now that this platform is... problematic. π¬
