Some days I think about jumping off this platform, but now @joenatoli is following me I can’t 😂

If you’re not doing some form of wire framing or at the least sketching things out before diving into design, I bet your DIY attempts look shocking #measuretwicecutonce

Things that must die No457: the MS Paint ‘we need a designer’ or ‘marketer quit’ ads. It wasn’t even funny the first time around and that wasn’t even a real ad

Designers are underutilized in most companies. They should hold equal status to PMs and influence strategy and decisions. Designers are incredible at designing processes and how we work to achieve outcomes, yet they often receive predetermined solutions. Inefficient "process."

Fair enough. But here is caviar: people know nothing about usability, and not everyone has taste, unfortunately. Sometimes restrictions are better. And people pay more for less. Less is more. Yep.

We've been playing with a concept for a while in the UX team and have just finished our first pass at an atomic design services model. It's lean, flexible and consistent. Much work to do in codifying practice, but was fun to model this far. AMA (if you fancy).

From Thrice to Clint Mansell in a single step can really squish your brain #spotifydj

Trying the Spotify AI DJ for the first time. Anyone have any joy with it? Is it as good as Pandora used to be (not been able to use that in the UK!)?

🙌 This is mandatory reading, especially if you're a clown that feels like playing on people looking for work who might be struggling...

Hey kids. If you're a designer and struggling with literally anything, don't listen to people on here or any other social platform. Go get some mentoring at places like ADPList.org or designed.org, just avoid the bro' design rubbish on here. It's hogwash!

If AI is coming to Figma, I can just get it to name my layers for me right?

I'm just not sure if they're playing the WWDC presentation for comedy or not, it's just way too subtle.

1,000% this. We're all designing things for humans, so we still need to involve them!

Here we go again. RESEARCH IS DONE WITH REAL USERS. End of story.

Unpopular opinion (from a qualified typographer) - some Google fonts are just fabulous...

I spend so much time waiting for people to turn up to meetings I've now reduced my tolerance time to just 5 minutes. Just rude.

When buying our most recent vehicle, no sat nav system or anything other than it being carplay compatible mattered when it came to the display. In-car UI and UX is just so wildly awful and real wild west of design and engineering! How are we here?!
The biggest design question that I have today, is how exactly humanity deals with car infotainment systems. No matter how refined and expensive the car is, we get the slowest unresponsive not logical, not readable and unsafe interfaces. And trying to fix it with CarPlay.
