I opened my first Etsy store (waveloudly.etsy.com) a month ago, and it's been a rewarding and interesting experience.

Here's to moving on to month number two 🥂

I don't intend to make light of a tragedy. But X is so bad that if you're looking for a career change, they have ideas for you.

New project underway.

Because of [gestures wildly] all the things happening in the US, I'm creating a series of downloadable protest signs. I hope to be live on Etsy soon, then I'll build my own storefront.

Because in the US right now, shit is really fucked up and stuff. (That'll be a sign too)

Starting the week working on new features for my Figma UI Kit for Shopify Dawn theme. I'm building a product component for the product details page, using slot system so you can customize layout without the need to detach the instance in a page layout.

Time-consuming? Yes. Fun? Also yes.

I know Google is putting up this message in their Digital Marketing certificate course on Coursera because the bad man changed Twitter's name, but I prefer to think of it as a warning that the bad man's social media product will be discussed.

You know what 90s band I think of almost every day? Nine Inch Nails, every time I’m on the road behind a Kia. Is it just me?

TFW you optimize 19 images on a photography portfolio page and hit scores over 90 on PageSpeed Insights 💨

I recently started a concept single-page website for a charity 5K run for an animal shelter to upskill in Webflow.

In a real project, I'd use photos of adoptable dogs. Since it's concept, I've loved searching stock photos for adorable dogs.

Next up: exploring interaction animations.

Does anyone know why the Shopify Dawn theme has letter-spacing added everywhere? One of the first things I do is remove it, but maybe there's a valid UI reason for it that I don't know. We would want it for uppercase text, yes, but normally not lowercase.

Oh. Oh my goodness. Bless their heart.

Where to even start. How about somebody catch that poorly kerned Y that's gonna fall off the right side of this thing. Maybe put a third flag over there to catch it.

New updates for the Figma UI Kit for the Shopify Dawn theme from wavebrain.com 🥳

• Support for more local variables
• Refactored collage component to use slots for unlimited layout configurations
• Support for card styles in blog post and collection lists
• and much more

This seems like a good feature for a shelving unit from Wayfair to have:

"The storage shelves are easy to assemble, and all parts are packaged for idiots."

My power is out due to work on the lines in my neighborhood. I will spend this time eating all of my ice cream so it doesn’t melt

One of today's tasks is to add a couple of product design examples to my portfolio website. My big fluffy helper is ready if needed.

A little something different today… quick shot for a new seasonal hero image to drop into a Figma layout for a Shopify concept store that I created when I was learning Shopify.

Question for Figma users: are you familiar with using slot components? I'm updating a UI Kit, refactoring a component to use slots. Will this concept be new to most?

If you aren't familiar w/slots, this tutorial (not mine) really helped me get it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoVw...

Working on updates to my Figma UI Kit for Shopify Dawn theme today. Adding support for the corner radius theme setting for section components. Fixing some bugs along the way. Minor release updates coming next week.
