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?

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.

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.

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."

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.
