Exploring new roles. Prev. head of design at Evil Martians
Lisbon, Portugal
Joined July 2019
I’ve announced my departure from Evil Martians. I can’t express how grateful I am for 11 incredible years ❤️ But I’m excited for the next adventure. I’m open to roles in product ownership, design engineering, or design leadership. Let’s chat if something comes to mind!

Anyone else feel like saying thanks to Cursor when it finally nails a feature, then feel a little weird for not doing it, even though it makes no sense?.

Kind of a funny thing, I don’t really believe tests like TestGorilla are that useful for product roles, but I still feel pretty good about landing in the 92nd percentile for Leadership and People Management 😅.

Hmm, all the colors look really consistent… I’m guessing OKLCH had a hand in picking them!.
144 available pixels, dozens of stakeholders, a handful of icons. My definition of a good time.

So cool!.
I made a dynamic text selection color on that matches the current color's hue. ::selection can be dynamic.

I just had a thought that LLMs could actually help fix the notification overload problem in chat apps. By looking at my message history, they could go beyond basic keywords or mentions and use real context to decide what’s important enough to send as a push notification.
My dream Slack replacement:. 1. Simple, clean design.2. Feed of key discussions (summarized) across orgs .3. Natural language prompts, no commands.4. Perplexity-like search in and across orgs.5. Agents instead of bots.6. Universal usernames.7. Notifications for DMs, mentions, or.

Absolutely yes. And yes, a good UI font should always have a monospace sibling in the family.
@romanshamin_en This! Good luck finding a pair of sans and mono fonts that look "same" in 16px. (Unless they are from same family, maybe).

I like the thread, but I also want to gently remind everyone that there’s no such thing as a universal standard for font sizing. Different fonts look different at 16pt.
Bad typography kills good app design. Most designers guess font sizes instead of using proven standards. Here's the ultimate guide to UI font sizes for mobile apps (iOS):

Martian Mono in the first few frames of the video 🫶.
You can now load a @shadcn theme editor into any app with a single line of code. Generate, edit and preview themes on your own app in real-time. Create your own design system in any stack that shadcn/ui supports. Next.js, Astro, TanStack, Laravel - it even works in non-React

My personal website is live: For the first time in my life, I have a portfolio online. Putting together the key commercial projects I’ve worked on and the passion tools I’ve built over the years was a cool experience 😊

Font licensing needs to change, fact.
It absolutely blows my mind how difficult some type foundries make it for companies to use their fonts. Do you actually want to make money? Or would you prefer to stay small 😂. You either price too high so it’s completely unrealistic or we can’t easily just buy it.

Recently started noticing Martian Mono more often in auto captions on YT shorts and IG reels. It seems like the adoption period for a new font, even a free one, is 3+ years.

Waiting for browsers to support this 😊.

The end of an era!. I’ve used this UI as an example of poor contrast more times than I can count 😅.
