Whenever a company asks why I want to work for them.

@sketch Boom! Thank you!

@prmack Hey Paul! Those images only appear there once you add them via Finder first. After that, they’ll show up in the Document/Global image list, and then you can reuse them anywhere else. Hope that helps! PS: We love you too💛

Quick one @sketch. How do I get other images to appear here? It's a background on a symbol. I have other images in the document. Love you. 😗

@ormanclark And then have the legal department make you revert them...

design tip: break the rules

@yahyavision Dead hopefully.

Designers how do you imagine yourself in 5years

@DuaneKing Is the question "What's the most common LinkedIn headline?"

New role, new life. Head of Design at a stealth startup. More soon.

@ilyamiskov You seem far too young to be a man that shakes his fist at clouds.

The internet was so good back then.

@wesleykchambers The only job where you start your day with people telling you whats wrong with your work.

being a designer is the best job in the world

Dashboards shouldn't show you been done. They should show you what you need to do.

I keep hearing of designers building things? But where are these things they build? You've gone from designs stuck in software, to software stuck in localhost. Link it or I'm calling bullshit.

@paulozoom @sketch Yes negative gaps. I mean it's slightly nuanced so not imperative. For the stacks. A lot of the time when I convert a frame to a stack it will add 10px padding, and an 8px radius.

@prmack @sketch > negative padding do you mean negative gap between items in the stack? > I'd also like to set default paddings/properties for stacks. I imagine this is just a setting I haven't discovered? You didn’t fail to discover anything, we don’t have such a setting. Say more about this?

Talk stacks with us! We’re planning improvements and want your feedback. What do you love about them? What bothers you about them? What would make them better?

@robably__ That's if the takeaway task is collaborative. Most are just thrown over the fence, with a time limit.

Been doing lots of interviews lately and I much prefer the take home projects over the big portfolio presentations. You quickly get a sense of the team and the work and how well you collaborate

@sketch @B774_C390 Essentially fuck around and find out.

@B774_C390 A lot of it is just playing around with it for a while!

I am yet to learn how to use @sketch's liquid glass wizardry

The biggest risk when hiring a designer isn't picking the wrong one. It's the six months you spent not picking anyone.

@icanvardar It's great when it's stuff I've built

people who put stickers all over their laptops, how’s life going for you?

When people ask me about my design process.

@mikesmith187 dadreply.com Save you the effort Mike.

I feel like I get to the point in every day where I'm like, I've written too many emails. It's time to be done with emails. I'm so sorry if I owe you an email, I just can't bring myself to email any longer.

@mikesmith187 As long as you're not writing them while you're doing the work itself you're all good.

@prmack Ha!! My old way. I’ve been overthinking and over editing. The most recents.

Writing a new case study where I'm fully stream of consciousness winging it. Dropping in one week, hope ya like itttttt.
