We redesigned our homepage at Mistral and a couple of more features across the product on Web and mobile.
There's so much more to come. Super excited 😎.
Introducing Claude Design by Anthropic Labs: make prototypes, slides, and one-pagers by talking to Claude.
Powered by Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable vision model. Available in research preview on the Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans, rolling out throughout the day.
I’ve been designing in tech for 15 years.
Somewhere along the way the work stopped resonating.
So I wiped the slate clean.
Deleted my entire portfolio.
Started from zero.
Rebuilt everything with intention.
My brand.
My style.
The clients I attract.
All from the ground up.
All aligned with what I actually believe in.
One shift changed everything.
I aligned my values with my craft.
It is never too late to recalibrate and reengage.
If you feel stuck, don’t give up. Keep going. I grew up in a tiny town in Tennessee. Struggled in school. Was surrounded by zero ambitious people (besides my parents!).
You CAN become what YOU want. Just don’t give up. Make your path for yourself and...
DON'T WAIT FOR OTHERS!
My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):
I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow
This little illuminated dragon is very happy about Pretext. He's too busy having fun to care about people's "hot takes" on how "it's not that special."
(This little dragon also only works on desktop right now but maybe I'll do mobile later)
