Episode 8: Figma design review

James walks through a Figma file of recent client work for AccessGrid. He goes through his (lack of) organization within the file, communicating the work to the client, and process of iteration.

[David Hill @iamdavidhill]

"It doesn't matter how good your designer is if you can't build it."

"Engineers having foundational-level design knowledge helps the entire process."

Couldn't agree more with these points from @PixelJanitor and @jamesm in the latest @shape_fm

We talk about the new @cursor_ai website, some folks we've worked with in the past that are available for a new opportunity and go deep on how your social presence impacts your hire-ability.

I finally nailed down my next role and I’m incredibly stoked about it. Will share more when I get started in a couple weeks.

@shape_fm ep coming to share my experience on getting hired, the good and bad on hiring processes, and what teams can do to be the preferred opportunity.

[James McDonald @jamesm]

Can anyone recommend a video editor? We’ll be looking for someone to edit @shape_fm episodes soon 🙌🏻
