Wall of old work and prototypes.. it’s fun to look back and see the baseline, and there’s honestly so much more to learn in this industry that I’m already over my old stuff. But it’s fun to see it from a bird’s eye view and think “oh damn, I did that”.

Mine was for a local tuner shop (TurboTrix). I was 14 + cold emailed the webmaster to subcontract. We met up by a dumpster at the local hibachi place (20 min walk) and he handed me $600 in a paper bag. It was a fortune to me at the time.. I will never forget that feeling

Cool @figma productivity hack from @The__Woodpecker : create a frame, wire it up with color tokens, and duplicate it into an instance. Set the instance to dark mode. Now you can tweak your color ramps and see the results in real time, giving you way more precision over tuning 🤌
