Why I built a plugin chain for responsive SVGsI spend a lot of time shipping design systems and marketing sites where icons and illustrations are reused across breakpoints and screen densities. Over the years I kept running into the same two problems: exports that took way too long, and SVGs that...

Getting a clean, responsive SVG icon set out of Figma without any raster fallbacks is one of those small victories that saves time and preserves quality across web and product builds. I’ve iterated on a few workflows and landed on a compact plugin...
When I want to quickly validate whether people can find key features in a product, I reach for a rapid tree‑test built on low‑fidelity prototypes. It’s fast, cheap, and—done well—gives clear signals about product discoverability long...
I often get asked how I keep brand visuals consistent when using Midjourney. As tempting as it is to treat each generated image as a one-off piece of creative luck, building a reliable visual system with AI is a matter of process: controlled...
I love small language tweaks. A single line of microcopy near a price or CTA has turned lukewarm sign-ups into enthusiastic customers in projects I’ve worked on—and broken a few experiments, too. Pricing is where emotion, trust, and perceived...

I’ve been sketching one‑page productivity dashboards in Notion for years, trying to land on a layout that keeps creative work front and center without becoming a project-management monster. The sweet spot for me is a single Notion page that...
I used to spend hours chasing a thousand vanity metrics—pageviews, impressions, clicks—hoping one of them would magically tell me whether users would stick around. Over the years, working on sites and products, one pattern became obvious:...
I love automating the tedious parts of design work—but only when automation respects the rules of my design system. Over the years I’ve learned that a few well-chosen Figma plugins can shave hours off repetitive layout tasks without introducing...
I run a lot of user interviews with people who aren’t designers—clients, stakeholders, product managers, sales reps, and end users who use a product but don’t think in design terms. Early in my career I treated those conversations as either...
I often get asked how to keep a color system consistent when a project spans the web, animated interfaces, and printed material. I used to manage separate color palettes for each medium—one for the website, another for motion assets, and a third...
