What a week! So grateful for the opportunity to speak at #Config2025 alongside @lukasoppermann. Our talk "Connecting code with craft" is now up on YouTube, check it out! https://t.co/G226A8NtwK I'm particularly proud of this last minute slide edition.

This week @hobdaydesign shares some ways he's using AI in his design practice which lean much less technical than my own methods. This conversation was a good reminder for me that designers should work with code if they *want* to, not as a requirement. https://t.co/R5HWpyBSDk

Really enjoyed this chat with Andreas! I love the idea of designers working closer to (and with!) production code when it makes sense to.
This week @KatieLangerman and I spoke to Andreas Møller, co-founder of Nordcraft, about code-based design vs vector-based design. We talked about the strengths and weaknesses of each. https://t.co/NvcApPAvdA

Virginia has retired from interface design and is now a painter with a studio in San Diego. I was very lucky to sit down with her for coffee before recording this episode, and it was so refreshing to discuss design today with someone in the industry 30 years ago!

Today's Complementary episode is a very special one. @hobdaydesign and I were joined by Virginia Howlett, Microsoft's first interface designer and author of Visual Interface Design for Windows. If you can find this book second hand, highly recommend! https://t.co/qDejBoRwCO

Leaving @valiocon feeling more inspired and ready to build than I have in quite a long time. The talks, the people and new friends made… I think I’ll be reflecting on this experience for some time. Indie design conferences are where it’s at! Thanks @drewwilson 🙌

Life = having too much fun at @valiocon
Life got in the way of this week’s episode of the Complementary podcast. You’ll need to wait another two weeks for the next episode, unfortunately.

This week @hobdaydesign and I were joined by @simpledream to chat about quality. We figured as Head of Quality at @automattic he might know a thing or two about that, and he did not disappoint. This one has actionable insights you can start using today. https://t.co/xxluKvQqJt

I very much enjoyed going back and looking at MacOS 8, which I think was my first Mac experience.
In the latest episode of Complementary, @KatieLangerman and I used some old versions of the Mac operating system and compared notes. Interesting to see all the ways it’s changed over the decades. https://t.co/Ox64tGdq6u

More of this!
This is the type of thing where if I were an executive at GitHub, I'd hunt down the person(s) who did this and ensure they're in a position to continue to succeed (on the right team, have the right agency, etc.). These are exactly the type of people you want to empower.

Today’s the day! Check out our session alongside two other fantastic talks this afternoon ☺️
If you are at @figma's #Config2025 come join @KatieLangerman and me for our talk on how designers can move their ideas forward by taking matters into their own hand and pushing outside of the traditional design role. → https://t.co/SpnnGfO0c8
