the designer urge to learn 3d, make your own prints, learn woodwork, leatherwork, photography, make your own furniture and get far too heavily into interior design.

whatever the corner radius in your design system is will seem perfect for about 6 months, and then literally any other radius size will feel better.

I need to hire three jnr — mid level designers pronto. Contract / full-time is both fair game (remote). Strong brand and web design skills are a big +. What's the best way to find talent nowadays? .DM me your portfolios if you are available!.

i love design bullshit. like you know when people put them lil coordinates just so they can get some nice type in, i see you guys. no way the client was like ‘hey we need our longitude and latitude on the front page’.

I hate how binary the conversation around work has become. Either 'hustle' 24/7 or condemn working on weekends entirely. It's all so hyper-specific and arbitrary. Do what energises you, and cut out what drains you. Whatever form that takes will be different for everyone.
