I've got a portfolio! I haven't had one in 5 years. They say designing your own site is really hard. And let me tell you they're right. This is the 3rd or 4th version. But, I'm really happy with where it landed and it's so fun to have my own little corner of the internet.

The last 3 weeks at Webflow were so fun. Collaborated with Mike Birkey, Claire Allison, and Alexander Diner on a branding project and learned so much. I love being in a discipline where you can have a decade of experience and feel like you're only scratching the surface.

We're learning Webflow today

We heard Boston is the place to be in September 👀 So we’re bringing Webflow Conf ’26 there. Why should you clear your calendar? 3x the scale 3x the energy 3x the impact 📍Boston & online Save the date: wfl.io/4pR8IzI Registration opens in March. You’ll want to move fast, #WebflowConf always sells out.

@JonSaxton On Xbox. The branding is really fun and retro.

@jaocando What platform/console? I don't game but for the amount I hear about Arc Raiders (and the sick branding) I'm getting fomo

What's everyone building/learning/playing with this week?

Wild. Something I designed on my computer in Chattanooga is like 100ft tall in Las Vegas.

@thepixelgeek Not gone forever! There's a AWS outage.

it's like going back to see your childhood home and learning that it's been demolished 😢

'UI snacks" are a fun way to tell a story on a small scale.

This week at #webflow. Launched an update to the home hero. If you're logged in, these cards take you straight to the creation flow.

So funny walking around downtown and running into a horse taking a shower.

@jdreeves Romie by Margot Leveque is beautiful. Not sure if I would call them inky but Items by Schick Toikka and Writer by Pangram Pangram are gorgeous too.

does anyone have a lead on more inky, serif typefaces a la editorial old and da vinci?

@TheMarceRusso @JayDwivedi_ It's great! I don't think I can do a loom because I'd be showing work that hasn't launched yet. But here's the help center doc. It's what I always reference when setting one up. help.figma.com/hc/en-us/artic…

@jaocando @JayDwivedi_ uhhhh Jose, mind doing a loom of this? never heard of this feature

agency founders how do you deal with clients asking 5 people from their team to give figma edit access $20 each

@TadCarpenter It's a great review!

@jaocando THANK you Jose, that means a lot. One of my favorite brands we've created (have not read the review yet!?)!

graphic design is basically just like making fine art but you have to justify every move you make to 26 people for like 6 months

Design friends. My team @webflow is hiring for a senior brand designer role. Read about the role: job-boards.greenhouse.io/webflow/jobs/7…

👀Keep an eye out on the Webflow dashboard today/tomorrow, some major perf improvements are being shipped this week.

@designertom @ReleaseNotesPod Love the high level calling to creativity. I think humans are at their best when they're creating. Can't wait to watch!

Took a small break when the series of shoots ended. We have one shoot left, and we're deep in post production. It's been a ride, and I've been pausing and unpausing production lines to other projects. Can't wait to talk about it when we resume @ReleaseNotesPod next Friday with @hunterhammonds

Where's the wrap up blog post of the #webflowconf keynote?

@pqoqubbw Here's two things that might help? One is fetchpriority=high, which tells the browser to prioritize loading the image. The other is to use preload, which tells the browser to fetch the image right away instead of waiting for it to parse it later on the page.

what’s the best way to display a heavy image? i have a background image (~5 mb) and need to show it as fast as possible while keeping the best quality also, i have both light and dark themes if i try to compress it, it ends up looking terrible how do you usually handle this?
