He/him. Design Systems @duolingo. Ex @github. Transman, Korean adoptee, avid explorer and picture taker. Period dramas are my jam.

Happy Sunday everyone 👋🏽!

I just wrote up a quick little @Medium article on a quick Keynote tip I've been using recently in my presentations to control your footer (and any other text) with tables inside of Keynote! ⚡️

Yes.

[Felix Lee @felixleezd]

you can't expect ONE designer to do design systems, product design, ux research, graphic design, branding AND expect them to be good at ALL of it.

Is anyone else going experiencing a big in @figma where selection colors can't be swapped without reloading the tab or other work pasted into a file has the colors altered to other styles?

[Ash Guillaume | #BLACKLIVESMATTER @itmeashygee]

Permanent #OOTD since it arrived. Love my @raycastapp hoodie 🚀

Does anyone know if there is a possible way to disable @SlackHQ 's "Catch up" feature?

[Kathryn Gonzalez (@kathryng.bsky.social) 🦋 @ryngonzalez]

We need this baked into our design tools, connected to our real systems/products in code, available for any organization — not just custom plugins that systems teams have to spin up at every single org.

Late to the party probably but the Android Accessibility Scanner app is my new favorite tool.

[Ash Guillaume | #BLACKLIVESMATTER @itmeashygee]

@Abmankendrick @iamAbiodunAA @Daviowhite @its_YOGO A lot of the responses on this thread focus on the assumption the UI will be viewed by "normal" sighted person. My take is that a combination of the red alert icon from B with the overall UI of A could also be a viable and accessible option.

@peduarte I totally forgot to show you that my phone had the @raycastapp wallpaper already on it too. Next time!

[Ash Guillaume | #BLACKLIVESMATTER @itmeashygee]

Wow, it's been so long since I logged into X/Twitter! Recently I had the pleasure to randomly connect with @peduarte in BCN and so I hopped back on.

[Ash Guillaume | #BLACKLIVESMATTER @itmeashygee]

Thanks to @Gavmn for pointing out my profile still said I was at GitHub. To set the record, I am now ex-GitHub and have happily been at @duolingo.

[Ash Guillaume | #BLACKLIVESMATTER @itmeashygee]

@kyleturman @charlotte_dann for sure! I'd also say @KatieLangerman too for their own set of CSS wizardry even if they consider themselves more a designer.

[Ash Guillaume | #BLACKLIVESMATTER @itmeashygee]

@dmierau @figma I've honestly been waiting for @figma to allow different text underline styles. Bar is low for me wanting to have dashed underlined text 😆

[Ash Guillaume | #BLACKLIVESMATTER @itmeashygee]

@adispezio @adispezio always bringing us beautiful content

[Ash Guillaume | #BLACKLIVESMATTER @itmeashygee]

@adrianmg @taryncowart @figma @rive_app @_chelsea_white @gladwerefriends @gladwerefriends is great <3

[Ash Guillaume | #BLACKLIVESMATTER @itmeashygee]

Oh hey my work is being featured in this @duolingo design talk at @figma's #Config2023!!!

[Ash Guillaume | #BLACKLIVESMATTER @itmeashygee]

I'm so proud of my team at @duolingo!!!! Megan Barker, Anna Gusman, and Robert Managad are doing an incredible job at #Config2023

@reathchris @AdamPrzewoski @figma FWIW, this is in the original image but wasn't as "clear" to some to what Chris might have been referring to.

[Ash Guillaume | #BLACKLIVESMATTER @itmeashygee]

@reathchris @AdamPrzewoski @figma For anyone curious what this means.. You can set a "string" variable that can be called as the name for the variant you want to show up. Great trick to share @reathchris!

[Ash Guillaume | #BLACKLIVESMATTER @itmeashygee]

@auareyou @juliusschaeper lol yes seriously! I wish you could apply them to effects but.. baby steps

[Ash Guillaume | #BLACKLIVESMATTER @itmeashygee]

@auareyou This is exactly what I'm doing now but also then further grouping by complexity. I also have adopted something similar to Adobe Spectrum for buttons where I've grouped under "Actions"
