Design Systems Dad

Design systems are my jam, and 80s rock is my bread and butter. Proud father of two awesome design systems.

I’m looking for a remote product design job. I know more about humility than anyone you currently employ.

Looking to scam a vulnerable person struggling to find work in this economy - paying half the going rate. But don’t worry I have a lot of experience

[Design Systems Dad @designsystemdad]

@Amy_Hupe I only micro-dose in refining my backlog

I’m back, what have I missed

[Design Systems Dad @designsystemdad]

Atomic Design?

“Too subtle to be noticeable” is not the same thing as “won’t affect how people feel”.

Or at least that’s what my wife says

Champagne flutes must come from a specific region in France, all other flutes are just sparkling woodwinds

College was so important to me learning about people from other cultures and learning to love people. Sure hope my kids don’t drop out and chase money without broadening their world view.

If beef burgers are made of beef, and chicken burgers are made of chicken. Whats in my vegan burger?

Today my #designtokens obsession became my dream job. 🤩 Super excited to be joining the Tokens Studio team (officially) to help the community better understand this powerful tech!

I'll still be sharing my non-tokens, nerdy designer pro-tips as per usual. 😜

Found a design system where all the font weights were over 600. Thought that was a bold choice.

Rounded buttons are pointless

Proud of the kids over at NewsKit.

Hope they get cool jobs where they can kick some ass

[NewsKit Design System @newskitdesign]

We've come to the end of the road, it's the last day of NewsKit Design 😢

Huge thanks to the design systems community for your support and for putting up with our puns. Not much to say aside from thank you for the NewsKit...time for redundancy.

Headless design systems, how do you execute one if it's got no head?

[Design Systems Dad @designsystemdad]

Well done Jan! Good work I’m proud of you

[Jan Toman @HonzaTmn]

Did you know that @figma auto-converts any value to full hex color in all color inputs? 🎨 I wish all apps could do that.

...and now they can! 🔥

I just published a tiny npm package that does the conversion, so everyone can replicate this easily too.

@SamIam_Designs This is awesome Sam! I'd love to hear more about your conference talk.

I'm proud of you.

Looking into doing some DIY, as I walked through the paint section, I found myself thinking about the paint charts are a lot like how we set out styles in design systems. We have lots of options to choose from, and we give them context based on the rooms we put them in. Thoughts?

Freelancing? I’m expensive-lancing baby!
