I'm working on a CSS layout course for early 2026 called The Layout Maestro.

It’s a dump of how my brain approaches and builds CSS layouts.. 😊

Wrapped up a focused little Design Tokens workflow and tooling project for a client this morning.

I think that's me for 2025.

For 2026, do you need a natty front-end developer? A Design Systems expert? A Design Tokens master? All three?

Let's chat

babe, are you okay? You've not even opened your Lidl Wrapped.
December 18, 2025 at 1:50 PM
all this word cloud from my BlueSky Wrapped needs is an apostrophe.

what if you could drag-and-drop/copy and paste/import from GitHub your design tokens .tokens.json or .json file and generate 'documentation' in Figma that display what's in the data and also create the correct Figma Variables from that data too…
December 17, 2025 at 2:00 PM
so, turns out how I'd expect Figma to reference collections within collections doesn't which leaves it to be (quite) a bit pants.

It's like MTV ...

1. Get a VPN (😉)
2. Open YouTube
3. Find some 90s/00s music videos.
4. Play through a couple to generate a 'mix'.
5. Play the mix and have your own little MTV channel for the day.

My book is delayed and you can help!

The illustrator I had is too busy to engage in the 35 UI illustrations needed to complete the book.

If you are or know of an illustrator that has time to deliver UI illustrations soon please let me know!
