Tom Prior

What kind of freelance design life do you crave? One where you're satisfied with work and pay, and have energy for experiments & hobbies? I started a newsletter called Mildly Independent for design freelancers who think calmly, work politely, and rest. mildlyindependent.design

@GayaniFigma Great! Thanks for confirming :)

@tomprior Hey Tom, I’m Gayani from Figma! Yes, there will be a cloakroom at ExCel and there will be signage for it.

@figma Hey! Will there be a cloakroom for bags at Config London?

@davidhoang @Atlassian Congratulations, David! Can’t wait to see (and read) about the great stuff you’ll do there.

I’m excited to share that I joined @Atlassian as VP - Head of Design, AI. My career has focused on building tools for teams to ship better software and publish on the internet and have used Atlassian products from Jira, Confluence, Trello, Loom, and more.

@TronCarterNLU Nice. How many blind tee shots?

Cracking afternoon at Irvine Bogside. James Braid with some of the most provocative stuff I’ve ever seen. Absolutely loved it!

@lurkmoophy @DamsTweets @zeroheight No worries at all @lurkmoophy! I’ll hopefully meet you at Hatch if we don’t get an opportunity before :)

@DamsTweets @zeroheight @tomprior Omg I am terrible. But yes we need to say hi to each other properly. Just a stupidly busy time at the moment 😅

Yo design systems nerds - early bird tickets to @zeroheight's Converge conference ends this Thursday. Tickets will then go from £149 to £249. Better get yours now... zeroheight.com/events/converg…

yooo, tomorrow I'll talk about the Dunning-Kruger effect and all its intricacies, make sure to tune in :)

Huge news. Big announcement. Last year at Config 2023 @bchesky said something while being interviewed by @zoink that struck a chord with me. 1. Have a nerve 2. Designers should start companies... ...and I took that personally. We're full time @divinate_co baby 😎

If you didn't manage to grab a ticket for the fabulous @uxcampeurope (or even if you did!), why not pop over to Brighton (UK) for UX Camp Brighton 2024 on Sat 27 April? We're only 30 mins from Gatwick Airport… come and join us European friends! #uxce24 #uxcb

Why should I come to @UXCampBrighton, rather than another UX event? It's a low-cost 'unconference'. About 40% of attendees will run a 20-min session: doing a talk, workshop, etc. You can run a session or just attend. Up to 45 sessions to choose from! ww.uxcampbrighton.org/tickets

Don't miss out on @tomprior "Business Strategy Mapping for Designers," an interactive workshop designed to fuse design and business strategy for game-changing results. 🎯💡 Secure your place now! - uxbri.org/business-strat… #DesignMeetsBusiness #StrategyMapping

"People think that they can generate content and paste it into their blog and that means something. But if your intention's not there.. if there's not a human in the loop... then there's not really a reason for me to care about it" @Treggify on AI for designerswithimpact.com

@Treggify It was an absolute pleasure to chat @Treggify! You were an amazing guest 🙌 look forward to meeting in person at Config :) #TheDenverDove🕊️

I chatted with my new friend @tomprior on his podcast about generative AI, product design careers, and resarch! Give it a listen. Shout out to the dove outside my window at the 10 minute mark. designerswithimpact.com/episode/ep-05-…

Everyone says talk to your customers. No one tells you how much time it takes. @tihalstead and I have been grinding on this for a minute and today... we launch. Divinate! Divinate helps you make sense of user research faster so you can build the right thing for your customer.

@mijustin You're welcome, Justin! Absolutely love the thinking in your content, so it's a pleasure to share it with my subscribers :)

If you are a designer, you must know this chair 👇 The brainchild of design legends Charles and Ray Eames, the Eames Lounge Chair has become a case study in great design. But do you now the fascinating (business) story behind the chair and the company producing it @HermanMiller

@MonzoBusiness @asgrim I'm also very keen on this feature being released soon. The related ticket in Trello hasn't been updated by the Monzo team in some time. Can we get a more detailed update on timelines? Is there a recommended workaround in the meantime?

And they're live! Final batch of @UXCampBrighton session-host tickets are on sale 🎉 If you're new to the conference, it's a wonderful, friendly, community-led, not-for-profit, fun-filled, informative event and this year we are 10! 🎂 uxcampbrighton.org/tickets #AllTheHashtags

We'll have loads of session room sizes to choose from for your talk or workshop. Whether you want to present to 10 or 60 people, there are spaces to suit all experience levels at our lovely new venue. Not sure what to expect? Drop @UXCampBrighton a DM to ask us anything😃

If you've never spoken at a design event before, BarCamps like @UXCampBrighton are an amazing way to get started in a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere. The speaking careers of many a seasoned speaker started at @UXCampBrighton. It's the perfect event to take that first step.

🤔Got a talk or workshop idea you want to test out with a super-friendly crowd? 🌅Fancy a springtime trip to beautiful Brighton (Saturday 15th April to be exact)? 🙌You should come to @UXCampBrighton! 🎟️£20 Session Host tickets are available now at uxcampbrighton.org
