Oh wowz, didn't see it creeping up. Hi everyone! 👋
For those who don't really know me: I'm a London-trained designer based in Paris, and have been working at
@figma
to help other designers design for exactly 1½ years as of last week.
Prior to that, I've spent years designing

technically started by being rejected as a speaker at Config 2022.
My previous manager had applied for us to give a talk on our filing strategy (article here: ), which didn't make the cut.
It however got picked up

This past week has been unreal. Hosting Config Virtual for a full day, and speaking on the largest stage I’ve ever been on… I’m not sure I’ve fully computed it all.
Currently sitting in the SFO airport and getting hit by the realisation of what we’ve collectively achieved.

Say hi to my favourite website of the week:
There are many days where I still feel like an overwhelmed design student - especially lately. But then I read something like this and remember why I would not work in any other industry.
Thank you

Honestly, make hardware hardware again. Better haptics, slower obsolescence, easier fixing.

Also wanted to give a shout-out to the agency that rejected me a couple of months before I entered the recruitment process at Figma because « they wouldn’t be able to confidently put me to speak in front of clients ». I took that feedback (very) personally.

I think this is the right time for me to come out as a huge Olympics nerd.
And yes I’ve been like a kid in a candy store since Friday night. I’m indulging my inner 10 years old so hard right now, you have no idea.

Big news, yet nothing changes – we're going to be building our products and communities with love and fiery passion, as per usual. So very excited for what 2024 has in store! 🔥
After an intense 15 months of review, today Adobe and Figma have decided to end our pending merger, as we no longer see a path toward regulatory approval of the deal.

time! Kinda vibing to this monochromatic look with shorter pants and black slippers (or maybe a pair of black Doc Martens), but what do we think? Do any of the other pants match the outfit better?

And back! That social media detox was niiice.
India was intense and beautiful. Spent a lot of the past 2 weeks chilling in foggy tea fields across

Also, parotta is croissant's flat cousin. Change my mind.

Drained by all the AI x Design content? So am I.
But hey, a kind reminder that we have the privilege to work at the intersection of creativity, technology, psychology, linguistics and so many other cool fields. The skill to make sense of that overlap is not going anywhere.

Want to add the same
@Figma
documentation link to multiple icons at once? Quick hack ↓
Select all components
Group them (temporarily) as a set
Select all variants in that set (not the container)
Add doc link
Move icons out of the set
Use plugin to remove name prefix
Voilà!

Currently at our 2024

kick-off. Blurbs of thoughts so far:
• Good design removes the need for complex storytelling.
• Our jobs are on the cusp of big changes, already thinking of ways we can best enable self-advocacy for designers in this upcoming paradigm.
