Hi friends! 👋😄
I wanted to share a thread to pin to my profile of my current, past, and recent adventures as a founder, Freelance Webflow developer (with over a decade of Webflow experience as of May this year), and a 3D printing + innovation enthusiast.
Let's dive in 😎
I've been wrestling an ugly monster called depression the last few months, and it's about broken me.
💔 I hate that it's impacted others.
I am so grateful for family, friends, community, colleagues, and access to medical professionals that have supported me during this season.
I've referred out over $40k of Webflow development work *this week alone*.
Time to set up an actual referral program on my site 😂; this week is bananas 🤯
Please reply to this tweet to share your Webflow work and what projects you're most interested in.
🎉ANNOUNCEMENT🎉
I am thrilled to announce that I'm joining the
@blushdesignapp
and
@robotosNFT
teams.
We have many plans and projects in the works to support artists and creators. Thank you,
@pablostanley
, for inviting me along on this journey. ❤️
Dear
@webflow
, we’ve received over 100 pre-order requests for 2023 Webflow Logomark Prints from Webprints. In less than a week 🤩
We’re feeling so grateful to the entire community. 🙏💙🥹
Can you please direct us to someone on the team to discuss licensing/sales?
@jaytholen
Always got the demo discs on PS1 and played them until they stopped working.
I wasn't allowed to play video games or watch TV Monday's - Friday's so I'd only have parts of Saturday morning or Sunday afternoon to play.
But most of that time looked like this:
GM all of you
@coolcatsnft
✨☺️
I've been watching, saving, and waiting from the sidelines for some time to find the perfect Cool Cat, and I finally did!
Congratulations on team growth and plans for continued expansion; I'm looking forward to connecting and collaborating 😁
Today vs. 40 Days Ago
Down 30lbs+ and making progress, feeling better and healthier overall than I have in years. Feels like these are early results, and looking forward to the next 6-12 months of progress.
Hiring a wellness coach has been the most life-transforming experience.
📣 ANNOUNCEMENT 🎉
October 15 is my last day
@webflow
I'm starting a new chapter on the 18th and will share more about that soon 👀
I joined Webflow in February 2016.
It's been an incredible journey, serving our customers and our team members.
I'll miss each of you ❤️☺️🌈✨😁
Over 50 pre-order requests for Webflow Desk Buddies in less than a week 🤯
I sent in the official request to the Webflow Legal team today for permission to manufacture and sell these branded products. 🙏
Thank you everyone for your support!
Please comment if you want one 💙
I often find myself in a "Where's Waldo?" situation, especially on Twitter 😅
This weekend I ended up on React Twitter, and it's been a heart breaking journey to say the least.
I usually stay out of conflict but I've found that:
Lack of action = endorsement
Good morning everyone ✨ gm
Here's a gentle reminder to do what you need to be the best version of yourself.
Our time on Earth is limited; let's make the most of it. ❤️
🆕 As of today, I'm officially going freelance with the intent to launch a start-up by the end of 2023 🧵
Today was wonderful 🥰
Time for sleep. 😴
Where should we paint our next
@robotosNFT
mural? ✨🎨🖌️
Please retweet; we're looking for canvases around the world. 🥰
I've had SO many friends ask me about NFTs the past few weeks, especially after they saw me move from Webflow to joining the Teams at Blush and Robotos. ❤️
Robopets are an incredible collection to hop into and get to know the community.
Thread about NFTs
Well, I just signed offline for the last time at
@webflow
full-time. 💙
I'll be sharing where I'm off to on Monday as the next chapter begins. ☺️
You can expect many more blog posts from me, along with a book on leadership. ❤️
What a journey ❤️😁💙
A few reasons why I brought some Lobstars home (NFA):
1. The art is remarkable & complex
2. Colbert has collaborated with luxury brands such as Bentley Motors, Rolex, MontBlanc, Christian Louboutin, COMME des GARÇONS and Adidas.
#Lobstarpower
I'm so excited about how my
@robotosNFT
skateboard turned out 😍
Now I'm wondering if I should bring it with me to NFT NYC and maybe drop by
@bustinboards
to get it set up for the Tuesday, Nov. 2, Brooklyn Bridge jog from 8-10am ✨😎🛹
4 years at
@webflow
today 💜🥰🎉
Much has changed over those years, personally and professionally:
• Joined my dream company/people to work with
• Married my favorite human ❤️
• Moved and bought our first home
• Serving a growing team from 4 to 26 team members across 🌎🌏🌍
@rileyj_s
$250/hr if hourly
$5k minimum engagement (up to 20hrs per month)
Most projects work out to $5k-$25k+ for full site builds (either with design or only for development/integration work with an in-house design team).
Monthly retainers w/ 3-12 month minimum commitments.
Beep Boop!
Who brought their first Roboto home today? Who's holding a Roboto or Robopet, and I'm not following you yet?
I want to make sure that I'm following each of our Roboto & Robopet community members ❤️✨😁
#botosfollowbotos
I'm starting to feel more and more comfortable in my own skin again with exercise and healthier habits overall.
So I'll likely start posting videos.
Here we go:
We went to an apple orchard last weekend (they had a lot of apples on the ground 😭), so, naturally, this happened.
I get asked often:
“Should I just quit my job and freelance full-time?”
My answer:
No.
Instead, start freelancing for 1-10hrs per week during evenings or weekends.
Build up a client base, and use the proceeds to save 3-6 months of your usual monthly income.
I still know so many designers that haven't started using
@webflow
, yet.
What's holding you back?
I want to encourage you to check it out and explore this new territory.
We're here to empower you, not intimidate.
For folks that already use it, how's Webflow affected you?
I hope that you're doing well today 💜.
I'm usually not one to ask, but I could really use some encouragement, positive thoughts, vibes, and prayers 💜
As always, animal photos are appreciated 💜
I love what
@mellmenati
created with
@ShadesOfYouNFT
, and once I started collecting more of them, a chessboard came to be ✨
It's exciting to see that your team is growing! 😄
Have strength and peace 💖
I'm super excited to see what
@polarbearsnft
does in 2022, so I brought a few more home today to round out my collection a little more. Even got one that has a Rubber Duck on its head
@RubberDuckBP
😂
The sunglasses protect against snow blindness 😎

🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️
Well friends, I'm very sorry to report and quite heartbroken to share that
@webflow
DECLINED our request and has asked us to cease production of anything Webflow brand-related 😭
Building in public and seeing so much excitement from the community really got us excited 💔

Okay, so I'm testing out the style system import feature with the Figma ➞
@webflow
plug-in, and it's going to save me over 100hrs per year 🤯
It keeps hanging when I try to "Copy all text and color styles," but copying/pasting Text styles and then Color styles work seamlessly!

They added lights all over the Botanical Gardens in St. Louis; it was beautiful (and also inspiring to consider the addition of more lights & electronics in future endeavors)

Goooood morning, my friends 😁
Who’s ready for an awesome day of updates from Webflow? 🤩✨
Be sure to find me at the conference for a Webflow Desk Buddy 😎
So excited and grateful to be here.
Have a beautiful day ahead ☺️
If you could send some prayers and positive vibes this way for Amelia to have a successful surgery and speedy recovery, we’d greatly appreciate it 🙏
She’s having her second TPLO surgery today, and it’s about 10 weeks of recovery 💖🥺
It will help her to live a fuller life 💖
Beep Boop!!! It's a beautiful day to be a

holder, here's my squad (minus one Robopet that I gifted to my partner last night 🥰).
Let's see your Robotos and Robopets!!! 👇👇👇

We're looking for community leaders within the Robotos and Robopets community. ✨👀🤩😍🥰
Please introduce yourselves and invite one another to join together.
I'd love to connect with each of you!
Let's lead, together ❤️
I'm feeling an immense amount of hope again for the first time in a while. ❤️
Life without hope is a bleak, hollow, and withering experience.
Hope breathes life, joy, and courage into our flesh and bones.
I can't begin to describe how grateful we are to have Miss Gemma Lou Noodle Tootins Broodryk back home and sleeping on the bed.
She's had a really rough few days, but was an absolute trooper through it all.
She's home and she's healing 🥰
Cyborgos, Mulletos, and the Punks!!! WE LOVE THE BOTOS!!!
Please tag yourself and your friends.
Let's see which
@robotosNFT
are in Times Square this week! ✨
Check out this thread to see more Robotos on the big screen!!!
I'm working on something:
Please send me your website project briefs via tweets and I'll roughly quote a range of what you could charge/what you can expect w/budget.
Rough format:
• Static page count
• Template page count
• Desired purpose & features
• Time-frame
• Budget
Something that's near and dear to my heart is gratitude and appreciation.
I believe that we should thank and celebrate one another in our life moments.
I hope to see more gratitude and appreciation in this world. 💜
So I wrote this to share:
I get asked for
@webflow
web designer and developer recommendations all the time. 🦄
Could you all please respond with portfolio links/work examples to this tweet and retweet for visibility if you're looking for work so that I can point folks to this list? 🙏
We're looking for some folks for a few projects.
Please retweet, respond, or mention if you are a:
- Motion graphics artist
- Animation artist
- 3D artist
- Logo designer
- Illustrator
Please share a link to your work ✨
So, I brought
@robotosNFT
4105 home, and their drum pad came to life as Track 1 emerged.
I'd love to make some music for quests in Robopolis one day or something. ✨

Nearly a year ago, I made the leap to become a full-time freelancer and found a company.
Nine years ago today, I signed up for a service that promised life-changing results, the ability to code without writing any: Webflow
That promise and this community changed everything ✨
Good morning everyone ✨ gm
Here's a gentle reminder to do what you need to be the best version of yourself.
Our time on Earth is limited; let's make the most of it. ❤️
🆕 As of today, I'm officially going freelance with the intent to launch a start-up by the end of 2023 🧵
2023 has been quite the year; balancing founding a company while working freelance to pay the bills was a roller coaster of joy, fear, doubt, excitement, sleeplessness, and burnout.
😅🙈🎢
I'm incredibly excited to share that my focus forward is building
@webprintsapp
🥰✨
Tatiana, you're incredible.
You're fearless, outspoken and incredibly gifted in so many ways. You're an inspiration to me and thousands of others.
Your quote of:
"Intent does not erase impact."
Really hit home for me, and I'm sure it struck a nerve for many.
Good morning, my friends!
Super excited to share one of the first products we've been working on over at Webprints.
Introducing: Stackerr (Beta)
Easily store, manage, and share Webflow components.
Two years ago, today, I joined
@webflowapp
😍💜💯 I'm so thankful to have joined a company where I want to spend my career, with incredible co-workers and a mission I absolutely love. Here's to many more years ahead! 🎉🍻🚀
GM!
Back from Dubai, and it was incredible!
So grateful for wonderful friends and access to travel. I even rode a camel and went sandboarding for the first time.
Felt super inspired by your designs, Carlos! 🤩
Had to take a quick shot at making a mic in .

with that studio mic style ✨🎙️✨

If you'd like to read it, I can buy up to 10 copies.
One copy for the first 10 people who respond to this tweet with a request for a copy ❤️(please match if you can)
Some practical ways of supporting one another:
- Encourage one another
- Take a stance
- Invite each other
- Amplify one another's voices
- Recognize and take responsibility for your actions
- Listen, listen, listen
- Seek to understand, not be understood
I'm so excited! We just posted several roles in Customer Support
@webflow
We have roles across the globe as we're building out our team to provide the best support possible.
Please let your friends know and apply if you're interested:
#support
Have strength and peace.
If my experience tells me anything, I know that there are peaks and valleys in life, better days will come.
We're human, and life is flux.
We're not alone, and there's ZERO shame in getting the help we each need.
With love and hope ❤️🙏
At the end of May, I decided to leave an amazing job and company to go freelance. 😅
Part of me was terrified, but part of me was super excited about the potential ahead.
I took nearly all of June off 😌, holy AMAZING rest.
Then started hitting it hard in July...🤯
From what I've gathered, many of you don't know the greatness that is
@TatianaTMac
.
Tatiana is one of the strongest fighters, supporters, encouragers and voices I've seen in the tech industry that stands with and fights to empower marginalized groups.
So *I opened Photoshop* on my phone, and one thing led to another.
A dream I've had for years is for the Webflow Community to be more involved with education.
We each bring different skills, teaching methods, knowledge, and energy.
More educators, please 💖
Dream Big ✨💙✨
