I’m really honoured to be named Best @Framer Designer 2025.

A lot of hours, a lot of care, a lot of obsession, and a lot of trying to make things feel a bit more human.

Very thankful to Framer and to everyone who’s supported the work. Means a lot. 💙

The @figma #configmakeathon begins tomorrow. I have 3 really ambitious ideas. As ever they are very left field and off-the-wall.

They all require a lot of data processing, structure, a solid architecture, and simplicity in design to pull them off.

Can’t wait to document the process and share with you all 🖤

[Lee Black @mrblackstudio]

@brianhermelijn @figma Great. Thats how I treated it first time around. It was my first time using Make. Had so much fun.

@boykovdesignco @DannPetty @figma I think it’s normal to reach a great level of care and detail of you consider cross browser compatibility, mobile optimisation, and general small details.

[Lee Black @mrblackstudio]

@stephenbliss @figma lol. How many credits did you burn?

[Lee Black @mrblackstudio]

@emili_iv @val_savd Amazing 🤩

[Lee Black @mrblackstudio]

@designertom @framer @jornvandijk @benfryc Same!

[Lee Black @mrblackstudio]

@DannPetty @figma How many people asked you for the prompt 😝😅

I’m super stoked about the challenge again. Always amazes me how many great ideas are born.

[Lee Black @mrblackstudio]

@stephenbliss @figma All that data for a line of text 😅

[Lee Black @mrblackstudio]

@DannPetty @figma I hope so. Gonna need a lot. My last two projects needed around 1400 prompts.

Post has arrived. Vocoder lyrics and spoken word will now be part of my live performances 🫶

[Lee Black @mrblackstudio]

@framerexpertcom Yeah real pity. I’m just not well enough for travelling at the moment. This year is really unpredictable. I’ll be on the sidelines though with much excitement and anticipation 🫶

[Lee Black @mrblackstudio]

Excited? I am.

Found at a Flea market on the weekend. A 1979 Casio VL—Tone. A clear predecessor to the OP—1. Such a beautiful piece of sound tech.

Bargain for 45€. Can’t wait to integrate into my workflow.

This little fella gives so much feeling ❤️

This is a clear example of what “inspired by” looks like. Not a copy, but taking certain cues and Teenage Engineering owning their style.

@kosta4a Nice. Of o can give any tips, it’s to care for orphans 😌
