Hi Twitter! 👋🤓 I'm Stacey, a graphic designer who works on digital content and branding. This new account is so I can focus on talking design with other folks.
Here's a mini thread with some of my favorite work over the past couple of years!
I'm still new to the world of web design and remember picking H1/H2/etc. based on what "looked nice" and completely ignored the actual reason those tags exist. 😬
Thankfully, I'm more thoughtful with web design now and still learning more about accessibility
On web design accessibility: “We need to be laser-focused on how that page’s content is meant to be understood, not how it should be presented” — Something I'm constantly thinking about when designing pages/sites!

@SavvyMudder @anya_bali @cgritmon If you want to filter a video, you can click the reply arrow in the bottom right and tap "Not Interested" 👍
(Haven't used it too much myself so not sure if it can filter out entire categories, but I stopped getting weightloss TikToks with this method!)
@emapirciu Ooh Chriselle is such a good shout-out. I remember watching her years ago on YouTube and her content naturally came across my TikTok FYP. Fashion works so well on TikTok! #ChatAboutBrand
@cgritmon A5. This isn't a specific account, but I find small business packaging videos to be relaxing and a smart way to show behind the scenes. It also feels like that wouldn't work as well anywhere but TikTok #ChatAboutBrand
@cgritmon A4b. And when in doubt, stick to learning! You'll get a better eye for TikTok the more you use it, and it'll become more natural to get ideas on what trends actually fit your brand #ChatAboutBrand
@cgritmon A4. Stick to your brand's voice! I see a lot of brands trying to hop on the latest TikTok trend and missing the mark.
Find what TikTok content works for *you*, don't try and fit yourself into a specific box #ChatAboutBrand
@SavvyMudder @cgritmon Completely agree! That's what sucked me in to TikTok — realizing "Oh, it's not JUST dancing videos" (which are cool and fun to watch in their own right, but happy to see a wider variety) #ChatAboutBrand
@cgritmon It's literally people MAKING rugs! It's adjacent to embroidery where all you need is a punch needle and a specific type of fabric. I haven't made anything large enough to be a "rug" but love the texture of this type of fiber art ☺️ #ChatAboutBrand
@cgritmon A1. TikTok is a social platform that focuses on <60 sec videos based around reusable sounds. It started out with a lot of lip-syncing content but now there's everything #ChatAboutBrand
I REALLY wish I could make this shit up but I can’t. A social media manager position requiring 2+ years of experience and it’s an UNPAID INTERNSHIP.
UNPAID. INTERNSHIP.
Pay your freaking SMMs 🤦♀️
