Here's the fastest way to convert your existing Design System to Dark Mode, without even editing the main components. #figma #darkmode #uidesign #designsystems #variables #Config2023 cv @CearaCrawshaw

@CearaCrawshaw The plot thickens. I've found a niche usage for them, specifically in the case of migrating large component libraries to using Variables. Will post a video tomorrow.

PSA: Don't make your file uploader look like a dropzone (e.g. a large dotted box) if it doesn't support the dragging and dropping of files. Thank you for your attention. #uxtip

This site wasn’t built with Gemini 3. It was built with Figma + Framer + Unicorn Studio. Don’t believe 90% of the things you see on the internet kids.

BREAKING: trump is having a temper tantrum, ending ALL trade negotiations with Canada. He's butthurt that they aired an ad of President Reagan that shows how dumb trump's tariffs are. It's VERY effective. Be a shame if it went viral. 🇺🇲🇨🇦 https://t.co/fkCx0YNaHi

Fact: ICE drivers are far more concerned about EV charging than EV owners are, and that says it all. ⚡️

It's amazing what developers are capable of when they understand the problem at hand, are empowered, and not stuck in the Agile tarpit.

Yesterday the USA was the *only* member of the UN security council to vote *against* a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. w.t.f. This is insane. We used to be the good guys. But now donald and netanyahu want to build beach front properties on top of 2 million graves. Absolute Evil.

If you're a designer and you don't have a supportive CDO where you work, just listen to Carl and pretend he's your CDO. ❤️

Here to address the confidence issue in design: stop chasing KPIs that explain what “great” looks like. Trust your aesthetics. Trust your POV. That’s what you were hired to bring. Create something beautiful!

Quick Figma tip Use Shift + M to measure spacing as you adjust This makes dialing in your line height and auto layout container sizes much easier

Design systems have never been more important. If you’re on the design team, your job isn’t just to design—it’s to enable others to do it well. If you want great vibe-design outputs, the demands on the inputs have never been higher.

It’s 3AM and I just recreated @Apple Liquid Metal right in the browser. No JavaScript. No WebGL. Just raw HTML + CSS. Let me know if you want the code
