@ormanclark It's definitely a love hate relationship stuck in an endless loop 😆

@pmitu Actually I believe it's not understood like it's meant. It means you should make sure to ship as fast as you can so you can test your idea and validate your product. And a good user experience is never made with the first new version or new feature, it takes time and user base.

@kubadesign There was something that was often said a long time ago when I first got into design, that you can't be an awesome designer if you don't design on a Mac. I never had a Mac and am 20+ years in the industry. A tool is just a tool, if it gets your clients results use it!

@SahilBloom The saying goes like this in this specific scenario.
Better sorry than safe.

@adriankuleszo Well, consider yourself lucky if you're just stuck between only two. 😆

@foundr It's the same in design, too.

Often designers forget this 👇

The most important thing for a design to do is to carry over the right message to the right user/viewer at the right time.

Visuals are there to support the message, not the other way around. ☝️

It’s not about having the best product.

It’s about solving the right problem.

@johnbuildss It's actually a strange mix. I need the money so I can craft with love.

@feifei_qiu If you need to explain or defend your Saas or product, you have a positioning and value problem.

@designbyaron After so many years in the design industry, it actually comes down to how attractive you think a project will be for your portfolio + how much you believe it will bring your brand long-term benefits in the form of referrals (mostly). It's not always just simple mathematics.

@tibo_maker Wanted to try this out, and I get an error saying my account can't be found

Interaction design = translating real-world processes into intuitive digital flows.

If your product mirrors internal chaos, users will feel it.

Clean UX starts with clean thinking.

@1Umairshaikh My first clients back when I started in 2012 came from posting on Twitter and replying to posts on popular hashtags.

Unpopular opinion:

Shipping more without clear intent and target goals in place creates more friction only.

@adeyossy_a Designers with a huge following can't actually read through all of the DMs they receive. It's way easier and straightforward to reply publicly than to go through messages. At least for me, it is. I love giving feedback to other designers, but I am here for my target audience.
