This is how a top designer uses templates to organize Figma files and add project context for stakeholders

As you get more senior in your design career this is table stakes especially if you work on larger teams. Because it helps cut down additional meetings and follow ups

Creating a template for new projects in Figma is a great way for teams to create consistency and reduce the time it takes for designers to add context for engineers, PMs

@hasart_graphics Nice! Would be better if you use a darker shade of brown for the text and logo above. Right now the colour contrast is low and does not meet accessibility standards.

@Tegadesigns How do you design a website within 48 hours? What’s your process like? When does the discovery phase, Ideation, refinements and approvals take place? For quick turnaround jobs I always suggest 1 week minimum.

@baudinstudio It’s clean but not functional. It doesn’t meet accessibility standards.

Every UX/UI designer should know these sites! 💣

@ChukwuAdaeze As a designer who works in a design studio in Canada, I tell you this — Design relies on constraints. Less is more. If you understand typography you will be a better designer. Lastly, always design for accessibility.

Fake it until you make it.

I woke up this morning to an insane design twitter drama. I follow many designers for inspiration but I severely underutilize X so I didn’t know who this guy was.

A few days ago @nicogarcia popped up on my timeline for the first time after his account blew up when he posted a $28,000 payout from X. Something that would certainly be @0x45o’s wet dream.

His profile had all the “ingredients:”

✅ SF lore
✅ Former Meta designer
✅ Posting job offers, his comments filled with jr designers hungry for work
✅ Sharing five digit earnings

Then this morning @i_amnajaved called him out for not paying her. He then posted a screenshot of a $100 payment for a responsive site with a caption that enraged everyone “I was so mesmerized by her great work I forgot to pay her.”

All sorts of designers came out with receipts of the dude not paying and hustling designers for lower rates. Offering $250 for a full responsive site with 6 pages (like whaaat?!). Then a quick look at his Linkedin and previous posts and all the dots get connected:

👎 He’s not based in SF. I’m in LA and he offers discovery calls at 4am my time…

👎 His big $ payments seem to actually be Uruguayan Pesos (same $ symbol) $1 USD = $40 Uruguayan Pesos

👎 He farms engagement through job offers he doesn’t follow through.

👎 Exploits young designers from other foreign countries.

👎 His work at @Meta is unverifiable. But he lists working at FB 2013-14 and Whatsapp 2022-23 both positions in Latin America. What’s icky is they were a decade apart.

Why am I posting this? As a reminder to myself that anyone can manufacture an online identity. Use the right keywords, farm engagement, and build your status.

And you know what? There’s nothing wrong with that. You have to be completely delusional to succeed. Faking it until you make it is not an option, you have to believe the life you want.

The problem comes when people don’t come through. When what they’re doing is try to cheat their way to success by not putting in the hours or not developing the talent.

Be careful out there, designers. Let’s take care of each other and lead with respect for ourselves and the craft.
