Laid off. Again. 😔
3 jobs in 1 year.
Last Friday, I was let go due to a shift in business goals. It's been a tough year, with 3 different jobs and 2 layoffs. Before this, I had 6-year tenures at my previous roles.
This market is no joke.
But, we often learn the most through

This feels like a really smart play for Apple. It leverages OpenAI with out NEEDING it. Meaning it can shift if a different model becomes better — or they can make their own version.
Today is my birthday. Im 36.
I have not made $1,000,000.
I have not started an agency.
I have not created my own app.
I have not spoken at a conference.
However...
I have an incredible wife.
I have 3 amazing kids.
I have good health.
I have my faith.
You are not what you

@figma
and all the updates that keep coming out!! Buuuut... any chance the gradient window could get an overhaul? 🤞🥹
💡Maybe even just a cute lil rotate button?
Dear
@figma
,
I would really love to be able to copy this fill or stroke variable/color style and paste it to another object.
Thanks for all the goodness you provide. 🙏
Need your help as we build out Figma Plugins...
We had an idea —
"Designer Plugin Playlists"
a designer's playlist of go-to plugins.
Useful? Who would you want to see?
The latest chapter...

Had to create something to celebrate...
Hey
@figma
- quick feedback on the new UI...
I dont like that the exact dimensions are hidden behind a hover when set to fill/hug.
I like to quickly compare sizes of elements or ensure that Im being consistent (example, multiple buttons in a group). If both are set to hug

100% the social side of it. Or being able to pop over to someones office. Just the verbal communication, being able to grab lunch together, etc.

This probably seems stupid and insignificant to most, but I think its important to celebrate the journey, not just the destination. Thanks for all the follows
I dont even know how to say this but myself and so many other incredible friends lost their jobs at unfold today...
If anyone knows of any opportunities, I'd be incredibly grateful. DMs are open.

@figma
redesign - I just want to recognize what a challenge it must be to design for designers.. 😬
This visual separation in the layers panel is SO nice.
Thats all.
Just want to share some positivity. Good work
Why can't I COPY local styles from one file to another,
@figma
?
Currently I have to cut styles, undo to bring them back, then go to new file, and paste from the clipboard.
Can we make this easier? Just add a "copy" option here?
DESIGNER LIFE in 10 seconds...
I gotta adjust the radius from 12 to 8px real quick.
oh, that radius doesn't quite match the outer border, I'll just adjust the padding quick.....

Here was a quick 30min play for a brand named "deja".
GM everyone. First day I've ever been jobless which is prob a blessing as Im sure many have been multiple times.. :/
The last chapter closed abruptly and without warning. But onward and upward. Time to get ready for the next one...
Flight has been delayed and now leaves at 10:30pm. Congratulations, now you have more time to sketch. Thanks

On the eve of a new week, its also the eve of a new chapter in my life. It wasn’t by choice, but the most exciting adventures in life often aren’t the ones you choose, but the ones you don’t and find yourself a part of anyways.
As I lay by my 2.5 year old I find myself
GM! My morning rabbit hunt resulted in this pixel moodboard.
I recorded my wandering the rabbbit trail this morning so I'll see if I can slice it up into some kinda of coherent video 😅
Keeping your Styles organized just got easier! Add a prefix to your style names like "Text/Red" and "Text/Blue" to group them under a "Text" subheader in the style picker. 🎨🎉
