Finding my path in UX 🧶
Sharing Notes 🗒️ , questions 🤔 , half-built ideas💡
Plenty of wondering, a touch of confusion 🙃

Only F1 fans will get it but GPT is entering its Smooth Operator era 🌶️
It just flows now, no fighting it
Love 5.5 🖤

My mentor gave me homework: describe your ideal role.

I went blank.

Not because I don't know myself. But because I'd never actually made space to think about ideals.

So I did. And ended up somewhere called "Adaptive Designers of Mixed Realities" 🎶

Rosalía is a f***ing artist and I wanna be just like her. I wanna design not just with systems, but by mixing, bending, pushing the limit. I’ve got a lot to learn!

Great interview 🖤

We need an official deep focused emoji.

[Andreas Storm @avstorm]

Having clipboard history and most-used emoji in the keyboard’s bottom bar would be really great.

Just had a blast recreating a screen from @LiftinApp in Figma 💪✨ Love this app! It’s wild how every pixel & interaction oozes care for both UX and UI. Shoutout to @_nstrm you can really feel the passion and eye for detail in every screen! #BuildInPublic #UIDesign

[Irene_lab @irene_lab_]

I started this challenge to get faster at UI, but I’m learning how deep accessibility goes.

Each screen takes time, so I’m moving to one per week.

Slower pace, deeper learning✨ #BuildInPublic

@ridd_design Got it! Adding that to my list of changes 👌

Day 1 of my October UI rebuilds. Hit play with Spotify’s player, a classic I love 🖤

Not pixel perfect without their fonts and a few icons, but the win was chasing the why behind spacing, type, and controls. I skipped handoff today to set foundations.

[Irene_lab @irene_lab_]

I keep hearing the fastest way to improve UI skills is to copy screens pixel perfect. So this October I’ll do just that: one screen a day, rebuilt and prepped as a real handoff.

Curious to hear your take which apps would be the best to learn from copying?

UX is about making life easier for users, but ‘easy’ isn’t one-size-fits-all. Autotranslation is neat, but… give us the option to stick to the original version . if we want it. Forced translations are annoying! 🥲

[Irene_lab @irene_lab_]

@heysatya_ Any supermarket app, at least here in Spain … both the UI and UX are terrible.

My user-centred design process... 🐶

[DANN© @DannPetty]

Everyone thinks it's Framer vs Figma right now.

But I remember when it was Photoshop vs Sketch and then Figma came out of no where and destroyed them both.

I think we get something that comes out of no where soon. I've seen a few.

Regardless, WE win either way.

[Irene_lab @irene_lab_]

@jornvandijk @framer Uhhh, straight to the try-out list 👀 I was already thinking about it, so no excuses now.

[Irene_lab @irene_lab_]

Big doubt 👇
I’m not proud of my portfolio rn.
Lives on https://t.co/JxD8o7l4Yj + Notion, but I’m considering https://t.co/guIaMOQRKa.
My goal: finding my first UX job.
Do recruiters really care about the platform, or just the work inside?
How did you handle this stage?

[Ilya · イリア @ilyamiskov]

Hey @figma please add the ability to add folders within projects.

Ideally with the ability to nest folders within folders too.

Thanks!

[Irene_lab @irene_lab_]

Orange is the new black ?

[Irene_lab @irene_lab_]

@DannPetty But rounded rectangles.

[Irene_lab @irene_lab_]

So… this is a new start, I guess. 🙃 Hello world! Let’s embrace ambiguity!
