James | UX Designer

SaaS design is often over-complicated. Early-stage teams don’t need the overhead. We’re starting with mockups, but the ambition for aconia is larger: a hub where founders can access the tools needed to build and launch products beautifully. Reply BUILD for early access.

Light mode is the new Dark mode

The ref for this at one point was genuinely invertebrates

@mlxprojects My point is deter form the inverse.

@architect_UX Yeah, but which humans?

Can we all agree tech is in service of human plz

@ddynmcs This feeling has necessary functionality

Any one else always unsatisfied with their work? I can never feel quality or authentic about my own work. A lingering feeling of basic-ness or mundane design. I don't know how to make them exceptional yet.

@PanningForG0ld Kikin rocks

After a lengthy cold call sprint it is generally ok and advised that one takes a ‘governance’ lap of the house and garden before jumping back in.

Which shade of pink should I go for

@designbyaron Conventional is the new unconventional

@architect_UX what a vibe

This is the muse for the latest mockup environment we’re building in 3D. Exploring how SaaS environments can feel more human, warm, tactile and familiar.

I've been obsessed with the idea of developing a physical product for some time now. Finally begun with the branding with another designer. Unlike tech, some niches are seriously outdated or conventional, retail-first, commodity thinking, almost no 'world building'.

Probs make this a freebie

hm

@fordhsmith It is daunting.. All in the execution then.

@architect_UX At that point the hardest part will not be building but having the courage to actually ship and put it out there🚀

I see so many good product ideas, but far too many externalities deter people from actually building. Between raising capital and finding the right connections, the "startup" part can feel overwhelming. If AI lowers the technical barrier to the point where building a product is like answering a series of multiple-choice questions, what would be your reason for not starting?

I’ve been thinking about the design "skill gap." For most founders, it isn't a lack of tools, but a lack of taste and knowing where to look. If those variables were predetermined, would you still hire a designer? Or would you just build it yourself?
