I'm a product designer and design team leader based in Phoenix, AZ.

If you have been wondering what exactly LLM quantization is or why TurboQuant is starting to become all the rage, I have never seen it described in a simpler or more approachable way than this.

@Lat3ntG3nius Coordination is exactly what I'm testing out in my workflow. I wanted to understand if having three tiers of org makes sense or if I should stick to two tiers. Limited testing so far but I feel three tier is providing a separation between orchestration, strategy, and execution.

I'm trying something ambitious within n8n this week. I wanted to dive deeper into multi-agent workflows so I decided to create a design agency in n8n.
The difference between a single agent and a team of agents is immediately apparent.

What do you think? Cool or overkill?

Claude is releasing features like no other lately. The latest is a feature that allows Claude to completely take over a computer. While I won't be doing this on my actual machine, I am very tempted to try it on a virtual machine.

You can now enable Claude to use your computer to complete tasks.

It opens your apps, navigates your browser, fills in spreadsheets—anything you'd do sitting at your desk.

Figma has rebuilt component instances using Materializer. Large design systems are now 50% faster. Separating layout and variable logic unlocks features like slots and rich text. This is a huge win for design ops scalability.

The Design Systems Report for 2026 by zeroheight is out! Loads of fantastic statistics for fellow designers to understand the current state of design and design systems. One stat that hit me was how under-represented accessibility and PM are.

No mouse November, anyone?

Every now and then my wireless mouse dies on me and I am forced to learn how bad the web is without the use of a mouse once again. I'm all for raising awareness for those who experience the web this way on the daily.

Designers tokenize color, spacing, and typography but what about motion? Still rare. Francesco Improta shares a tiered approach, including accessibility considerations, that seeks to solve this overlooked part of design systems. Really a good foundation.

Zed is redefining accessible type design. Text and display variants, 435 languages, Braille support, and lab-tested legibility for low-vision readers. This is the standard all type systems should be held to. Inclusive by design, not as an afterthought.

I've been thinking a lot about the new product designer workflow in the age of AI. Agentation seems like a sneak peek into that future. Identify a design change in live dev, comment on the exact element you need changed, have AI fix it in the background.

OpenUI is an interesting approach to Generative UI. It focuses on providing a token-efficient, structured markup language for UI components and layouts. The demo is fun but I'm itching to throw some custom components at it.

https://t.co/wx4mZlGbQT has been one of the most interesting AI-powered design tools I've come across. The latest parallel agent functionality seems particularly powerful. I'd love to see a deeper integration with Ollama/OpenCode, however.

@gojomo Damn straight!

I've been waiting for Figma Slots for years! No more creating placeholder components with complicated visibility Boolean properties for my design systems. This is so huge for design workflows.

Brad Frost is always a great follow. His Real-Time UI post demos agent-to-UI live during a meeting, a workflow that could collapse idea-to-execution from weeks to days and kill misalignment before it starts.

I found this interesting. Google has implemented the ability to download Google Docs as Markdown files. With AI becoming a growing presence in our lives, and with Markdown as its primary language, it's nice to have tooling that makes the transition easier.

Say hello to Homie.

Using n8n to create AI Agents has been so much fun. I'm currently working on a publishing assistant for my homelab newsletter project.

I'll keep you guys updated as I progress.

What if your AI wasn't just for work? Just saw Jesse Genet on How I AI using Obsidian, OpenClaw, and a squad of Macs for homeschooling, finances, and total life management. It's making me rethink patterns in my own life such as home inventory management.

Homelabbing finally feels like a superpower in 2026.

Stack: OpenClaw, Ollama, Open WebUI, n8n, Tailscale, OpenCode, Penpot, & Obsidian.

Model of the moment: minimax-m2.5.

What's in your homelab stack?

Figma just released user groups for easier sharing and permissions. As a freelance designer, this will make working with different clients so much easier.
