@Mudiakingsley @omoalhajaabiola He’s citing an example

@omoalhajaabiola Hope you hear back soon, Abiola! It’s always tough when priorities shift.

Hi Sule, Since I have not heard from you on this, I have to assume your priorities have changed. If you have any other project I can work on, please let me know Thank you Abiola

📌

I think I found a smarter way to use AI for complex UI problems. I’ve been experimenting with what I call a “translator” workflow for messy design challenges. This is how I do it: When I’m stuck on a UI problem, I explain it to ChatGPT in plain English. The way people say, “Talk to ChatGPT like it’s your best friend.” Yeah… exactly like that. Then I ask it: “Turn this into a technical prompt for Claude 3.5 Sonnet.” And boom. It translates my scattered thoughts into a clean, structured technical brief. Then Claude executes it with way more precision than when I prompt it directly. It made me realize we spend so much time trying to learn how to “talk to AI.” But sometimes the best prompt… is the one you don’t write yourself. Let the machines handle the syntax. You focus on the strategy. Would you try this workflow, or do you prefer prompting directly?

I have seen what separates people who learn design from people who get hired as designers. Most people waste months learning the wrong things. Use this roadmap to get in faster. Month 1: Understand UX properly (not just UI) Before touching Figma, understand how products actually work. Most beginners jump straight into UI screens. Your focus this month should be: 1. UX fundamentals: User flows, Information architecture, Problem framing, Design thinking, Product thinking 2. Learn how real products are built Pick 5 apps you use every day. Examples: Uber, Airbnb, Spotify, WhatsApp, Amazon Break them down: 👇 👉 Why is the onboarding like this? 👉 Why is the checkout flow simple? 👉 Why is the navigation structured that way? This will help you build product thinking, which hiring managers actually look for. Tools to start learning: - Figma - FigJam - Notion (for documenting your thinking) Spend this month observing and documenting UX decisions. Month 2: Learn the tools (fast) don’t sleep on it for long. Focus mainly on Figma. You don’t need 10 tools. Most companies use Figma. Learn these properly: Core Figma skills - Frames - Auto layout - Components - Variants - Constraints - Prototyping ( would recommend my YouTube channel ) Also learn: - Basic design systems - Layout grids - Typography hierarchy - Spacing systems Practice by recreating existing apps. Examples: - Recreate a Spotify playlist screen - Recreate Airbnb search results - Recreate Uber ride request flow It will help you learn how real interfaces are structured. By the end of Month 2 you should be able to design clean mobile screens confidently. Month 3: Start your first real case study Now you need to stop doing random UI screens. You start solving real product problems. Pick one product and redesign a small part of it. Don’t try to do much. Examples: - Improve Uber driver onboarding - Redesign Airbnb wishlists - Improve Amazon checkout - Fix WhatsApp message search Your case study should include: 👉 The problem 👉 Research (even if it’s lightweight) 👉 User journey 👉 Wireframes 👉 UI design 👉 Prototype 👉 Key improvements This shows how you think, not just what you designed. Most beginners skip the thinking part. That’s why most portfolios on Behance feel empty. Month 4: Build a portfolio that looks like a product designer You don’t need 10 projects. You need 3 strong case studies. Structure them like this assuming you don’t have prior experience: Case Study 1 Product redesign Case Study 2 Mobile app concept Case Study 3 Feature improvement Each case study should show: - the problem - your thinking - the process - the final design Use tools like: - Notion - Framer or - Behance Recruiters spend less than 1 minute scanning portfolios. Make it easy to read. Month 5: Start acting like a designer, not a student This is where most people fail. They keep learning but never enter the industry conversation. Start doing these things 👇: 1. Post your work Share your case studies on: 👉 LinkedIn 👉 X (Twitter) 👉 Dribbble 2. Document your thinking Write short breakdowns like: ❤️ “Why Uber’s onboarding works” ❤️ “3 UX mistakes I noticed in this app” ❤️ “How I redesigned this feature” This will help you build credibility. 3. Network intentionally on LinkedIn. Here is my handle: linkedin.com/in/kingsleyorji Connect with other: 👉 Product designers 👉 UX leads 👉 Startup founders Send simple messages like: “Hey, I’m learning product design and would love your feedback on this case study.” You’ll be surprised how many people respond. Don’t just go asking people for mentorship people are busy. Month 6: Start applying strategically Now you start applying for roles. But not randomly. Focus on: Startups They hire junior designers faster. Look for jobs on: Wellfound, Y Combinator jobs, LinkedIn, Otta, Remote design job boards Also apply for internships (if there is still any) and freelance work. Continue 👇

True. Which is why, no matter the cards you’re dealt in life, you must never have poverty of imagination. You must refuse to play small until the world bends to accommodate your reality.

APPLICATION FOR JERRY EZE FOUNDATION GRANT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN AGRICULTURE, MANUFACTURING AND TECHNOLOGY HAS OPENED !!!

@Chimzurum_p Nice going 👏🏽 Well done 🙌🏽

I’m not even going to lie, I’m so proud of myself fr… The fact that I no longer struggle to use the pen tool is a very big win for me! The progress I’ve made in 3 weeks? I’m proud of myself abeg.

@D_DesignMerlin @framer Keep it up champ 👊🏽

Day 1 of re-learning @framer I dived deep into the basics, styling, components, Z index, responsiveness and animations. The was a playful design to re-boost my knowledge in designing from scratch without using templates.

Welcome to Your Month of OPEN DOORS! ““I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.” Revelation 3:8 NKJV Happy New Month Friends...

March is our month of divine speed. Speed in progress. Speed in restoration. Speed in destiny alignment. Every child that drifted shall return home like the prodigal son. Lost opportunities are recovered by the power of prayer. You will see the fulfillment of God’s promises.

@Moteivah @EkeVanVictor @esuamusic @nathanielblow 😹…you had to put it plainly.

@EkeVanVictor @esuamusic That’s pastor Nath’s @nathanielblow spiritual daughter. He groomed her so incase you’re being led… you go through his screening

I remember this time last year at the #HallelujahFestival, I sat a few seats away from @esuamusic. I didn’t know her at the time, but I noticed something about the way she carried herself. I mean, I observed so much that I still remember she was putting on a stonewash pair of jeans and a white shirt. Was so glad to see her leading worship on a bigger stage at the Festival tonight. Let this encourage you too. You might be in the crowd today, quietly watching, sweating, and faithfully serving. But soon, you’ll be on the stage, a spectacle for all eyes to see, a living testimony of God’s glory. and lifting power. For Esua, I believe this is just chapter one of many more ahead.

If you follow #HallelujahChallenge , you’ll know this brand cause na everyday we dey recite am. Decided to get a pack at the festival to devour on getting home…omoooo the taste is so so good🔥 @nathanielblow and team dey enjoy better thing ooo😋

@Victor_Webflow Ngl…it’s on my to-do list

How many of you plan to “retire” into farming after tech? 😂 Start now. Plant something😂 Truth is, the coming years will be different.

@BasedEastAfrica @BasedKago @mbiebuz @ExpendiApp @base 🥂

From idea to Base Batches 002 Finalist! We sat down with @mbiebuz the founder of @ExpendiApp . He is building an onchain expense management product on @base bringing transparency and control to team finances. With @ExpendiApp you can: • Create & manage subscriptions • Send one time payments via crypto or local rails • Track spending & split expenses easily • Lock savings and so much more He talks of the ease of distribution through the @baseapp This is the level of building coming out of Base East Africa. Base Batches 003 is live here >> basebatches.xyz What will you build? #BuildOnBase #BaseBatches003

@Crownzdesigns Haha…didn’t see this until now I was around also, would’ve been nice seeing you. Perhaps next time 😆

There’s peace you can’t explain when you’re in God’s presence

@gideonakin__ W 👊🏽

I’m designing a website for a design community and an OG I rate highly is overseeing the project. I think he likes what I’ve done so far . He said “I love all you’ve placed on the board…” TWICEEEE

People are shipping insanely useful products 🚀✨🔥
