Built a new
@figma
plugin I call "Magic Messages". It generates entire conversations using ChatGPT and renders them using our design system at Discord. You can set a topic, # people talking, and # of messages. This way we can generate content for our designs more easily.

I’m super excited to announce I’ll be joining

as a product designer in May! I’ve been a huge fan of the product for years and have been constantly impressed by the work this team does. Can’t wait to learn from and build stuff with some of the best in the industry!

I'm really excited about our new

feature, variables. So, I built a new plugin I call "Find Variables" to help you find where they're being used across your design. It will be free and open source once it's published to Figma community!

I've been working on a new

Awwwards sites remind me of high fashion. Don’t get me wrong, a ton of talent goes into making them but like high fashion “you’re not supposed to wear this everyday” it’s like “oh you’re not supposed to use this website for more than a few seconds”.

Have you ever wanted a more granular view of how your styles are used in your design? Coming soon to my Figma Plugin, Design Lint 2.0 is a styles overview. Each style and its layers are selectable, making switching styles or finding styles being used incorrectly a breeze.

Holy shit, my wife and I finished paying 150k worth of student debt today after 10+ years of paying (we started in school). It's honestly insane how insurmountable the debt from school can be. Even though we're finally free of it I would 100% support loan forgiveness today...
