Flashback to Aug 2019, Figma was a baby compay when I took this pic of their billboard. Now it’s all grown up and packing 8k friends into Moscone center at #Config2023 Congrats Figma team!

Why do designers fall into this UI trap? - Disabled buttons and inputs are bad for UX and accessibility - Guide the customer to the right solution instead of blocking their progress - Set a better example for your fellow product builders Read the post: medium.com/@jamescarleton…


🎢 All the ups and downs of our work reminded me of a roller coaster. Can you relate to this analogy?link.medium.com/MN7SFCtM0xb


Yes, the most under valued UI pattern is messaging. Details matter - placement, interaction, content, accessibility, animation.

One of the most undervalued skills in product design is <Dialog> and <Toast> design. It's how your product talks to your users — how it interrupts, guides, and informs them. Sweat your dialogs and toasts.

At @Clarity_conf: @adactio: is it important that design systems be opinionated? @lindadong: it’s not really about being opinionated. It’s about caring deeply for people. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #Clarity2022


3/3 #Clarity2022 Day 2 highlights include @hayhughes on leading design systems, @WalterStephanie teaching annotation of accessibility details, @lindadong sharing history and strategy of the Apple HIG, and @bencallahan on types of cultures we build. Thanks @jina, @Clarity_conf!

Great resource for designers recently laid off:

Over the week, we've seen people we care for, struggle with sudden layoffs and loss of work. We've also seen our community looking for ways to help. Today, we open ADPList Talent - a collective of Designers/PM looking for jobs; 1800+ people has been listed. RTs appreciated ❤️.

Give yourself full permission to interview your future managers back. When they ask "Do you have any questions for me," take the opportunity to expose what your next 1+ years under this person might be like. Here are 5 questions I have or wished I'd asked of my future managers:
