After two decades in design — leading teams, managing million-dollar portfolios, and launching products used by millions — I’m now questioning my place.

For many years, it has been ‘best practice’ to use relative units (especially em and rem) for sizing text. That’s great! But after playing around with my user preferences, I think we can improve on the common approaches.

he most reliable way to meet user needs is through extensive usability research. However, scaling can be a challenge, especially if a researcher needs to personally e-meet every participant. When left to their own devices, participants also tend to provide incomplete answers. Could parts of this interaction be automated to help researchers gather more data than their schedules allow?

This tool is the quickest way to create & tinker with mesh gradients on the web 🙂 It also allows a one-click export into Figma (the “Copy SVG for Figma” button above – click it, then open Figma and paste).

Design handoffs often fail due to misunderstandings over specs, missing assets, and poor communication between designers and developers. To avoid these pitfalls, designers should standardize documentation, provide clear context, and maintain ongoing collaboration throughout the development process.

In product design, consistency and usability are essential for delivering a seamless user experience. However, it’s easy for design systems to become cluttered and inconsistent over time, especially in fast-paced development environments. This is where a design audit comes in—a comprehensive evaluation that identifies inconsistencies, usability issues, and opportunities for improvement.

Developers are embracing a new way of building software that’s more conversation than code. But is it more mayhem than magic?

A great logo is more than just a design—it’s an identity. Some logos stand the test of time, remaining relevant and recognizable for decades.

A designer’s journey of creative exploration—100 days, 100 experiments, and the lessons learned along the way.

A simple tool where you can play with dispersion, liquify, and other effects.
