All of my current projects include me doing at least some coding on top of product design work. It ranges from design reviews and edits in code to building full user flows in Laravel. It is very exciting!

More and more hybrids in my DMs: - Designers who code - Devs who create media - Marketers who design I’m surrounded by people who code + design + create media. It’s a unique perspective of the future of making things AND a blind spot on reality right now. I’m betting on…



Going to try this for two of my websites. One’s a 100+ pages content website and another one is a services/blog hybrid. We’ll see.

Changing URLs from /blog/2024/03/post-title to /post-title increased traffic 44%. No new content. No backlinks. Just shorter URLs. Yet 40% of sites still use categories, dates, and author URLs like it's 2008. The great URL simplification that nobody's brave enough to do:



You need the feel of the button and grip while driving a bumpy road and focusing on traffic. My current car is very touch-first and it has been annoying. The next one’s less touch-focused but still a bit too much. We’ll see!

the best user experience helps people progress towards their goals faster. 13 years after the Tesla debuted their dashboard with a giant screen and no physical buttons, guess what… buttons are coming back. sometimes less is not more.



Tried it for two projects. It works… kinda well, but not very well. You need a Figma file and code base who are perfectly aligned. Impossible for a multi-year code base full of subtle choices ans multiple collaborators who all have a slightly different workflow.

Turn design into code with Claude Code + @figma. Through MCP, Claude sees your mockup at the data level—component hierarchies, design tokens, auto-layout rules—and translates it into production-ready code.

Big shoutout to my wonderful designer @ToolboxOfDesign for creating a kick-ass OpenGraph image for Podscan 🥰 Just wanted to share the amazing stuff I get to work with :D

Worked on the technical SEO side of a client's website and blog. Mostly performance and <head> section stuff. They went from 900 clicks in three months to 1600 clicks in three months. Not bad!

Applying to become a Webflow certified partner. Step one's done (passed the exam). Let's wait and see what happens :)

It's okay to use both. Or all of them even. Within the design community, we're spending way too much time on "There's no reason to use [tool] anymore" talk. It's not worth it at all. Figma's fine. Just like Webflow and Framer. Lottie and Rive both are great. You can use ChatGPT…

Trying out Claude Code in combination with Figma MCP for a project today... Please stand by!


Depending on the code base and what is being asked of you, you can design directly in code. You’d create visuals outside of code still, but setting up a UI in code directly is getting more accessible. I’m not talking about AI slop, but about the high-quality work you design.

It's silly that I can create all this auto layout design, components, variables, beautiful math and awesomeness but I still can't push the design live. Like, what are we even doing here. I should just be designing in code at this point. GIVE ME THE GO LIVE BUTTON!



OpenAI is about to start a big (GPT5) livestream. Here are some important reminders. 1️⃣ First of all, be curious about the announcements, experiment using the new tools, and write about your thoughts on it. It’ll be good for you, your career, and the quality of content on the…


Really in a learning mood these last few days. Today’s question… how does @rive_app relate to Lottie for simple (micro) animations? You know, upload animations, dancing files, animated buttons, etc. No logic and data. Just an animation to make a boring app more interesting.


That generated image also would be a responsive and performance nightmare. I assume @socoloffalex’s alternative is vector based! :)

For everyone thinking, “No one actually prompts gradients, he’s obviously joking” I’m not. People really prompt this. 😅

Just out of curiousity and a willingness to learn: what is the main benefit or use case for running one of those new OpenAI local models vs. another remote model? Tagging @arvidkahl because he’s the smartest AI guy I know and probably has a super clear answer 😛


I've seen some talk about a need for 'Figma to [something]' help. Is that a thing? If so, I might be able to help! I've done Figma to Tailwind, Bootstrap, Laravel, and React (the list goes on😛) work in the past two years. Lots of fun!
