We do a ton of screen-sharing and go deep into his strategies for prompting, how to get better outputs from the models, and more.

The central design question is how do we help users rely on AI appropriately.

Comprehensive reference for designing AI experiences. 100+ patterns, visual examples, and reusable components for AI UX designers and product teams.

This talk dives into some of the newest updates in the CSS and web UI space while giving you a UX framework of 5 principles to frame digital design decisions through the lens of modern UI patterns.

The last wall before 'done' is always the same: the it-doesn't-feel-quite-right-yet wall. A wall that gives you no error messages, nothing to copy and paste into the chat. Just you, looking at the thing, knowing it isn't it.

A hypertoken is a named bundle of style properties, defined once, that every tool's copy is built from.

This standard puts design system docs in one shared format that any tool can read.

Print forced you to separate concerns: the grid, the frequency, the shape at each node. The browser lets you ignore all of that. I didn't.

The moment a user tries to leave, really tries, with intent, the relationship between good design and good business quietly breaks down.

The pattern is always the same. Someone is trying to do one thing. They fail at it or they slip or they forget or they do something out of boredom. And in that gap between intention and what actually happens, something new (sometimes better or new) appears.

Mostly boring, unsexy features and capabilities for Figma Design.

The promise of empowerment, far from being incidental to the cycle, is part of its structure — a story the cycle has to tell about itself in order to keep moving.

The read-only assumption I started from is no longer the operating model. The direction held up, but what I got wrong was the pace. The systems I described as needing to be 'agent-ready' are now being authored alongside agents.

We're supporting new materials to express anything you can imagine and introducing new tools to shape and push these materials further than ever: code, motion, shaders, generative plugins and Weave tools, all on the Figma canvas.

/taste turns any URL into a complete design context for your AI agent. Design Map, Taste DNA, and the reasoning behind every choice.

Together with Vite 8 and its new Rolldown bundler, Astro 7 builds are 15-61% faster in our benchmarks.

This technique creates themed components with shadows in light mode that swap out to glowing borders in dark mode, and text that's always readable against its dynamic background color.

We cannot control for every outcome directly through the interface, but we can design the conditions that shape a model's generation.

In the age of AI, knowing what not to build might be the most important skill of all.

Figma won against Sketch because it realized the center of gravity could change. Now that center of gravity is changing again. And Figma is on the other side of the innovator's dilemma.

This is a collection of non-work projects I've done over the past couple of years. Things done on the side for fun.
