My bootcamp was just recognized (again!) as a top course on @Maven 🎉
It’s been the #1-rated course for Figma and/or Design Systems 3 years in a row..
..but what I’m really proud of are the emails I get from students. Like this one👇

Figma tip: Use thicker text in dark mode
Light text on a dark background appears thinner—so adjusting the thickness helps maintain visual balance and legibility.

My favorite Auto Layout trick for headers: set the text layer to FILL.
It expands to take up all available space, pushing the close icon to the edge—no extra frames, no absolute positioning needed

Back from sabbatical! 👋
I spent the past two months off the grid—chasing powder and eating my way through Japan, starting a garden, and getting my hands muddy in the pottery studio. It’s been the fun and creative rest I was hoping for and I’m excited to be back in the office with a few fresh ideas.
