What kind of freelance design life do you crave?

One where you're satisfied with work and pay, and have energy for experiments & hobbies?

I started a newsletter called Mildly Independent for design freelancers who think calmly, work politely, and rest.

@GayaniFigma Great! Thanks for confirming :)

[Tom Prior @tomprior]

@figma Hey! Will there be a cloakroom for bags at Config London?

[Tom Prior @tomprior]

@davidhoang @Atlassian Congratulations, David! Can’t wait to see (and read) about the great stuff you’ll do there.

[Tom Prior @tomprior]

@TronCarterNLU Nice. How many blind tee shots?

[Tom Prior @tomprior]

@lurkmoophy @DamsTweets @zeroheight No worries at all @lurkmoophy! I’ll hopefully meet you at Hatch if we don’t get an opportunity before :)

[Pablo Stanley @pablostanley]

yooo, tomorrow I'll talk about the Dunning-Kruger effect and all its intricacies, make sure to tune in :)

[Tregg 🤘 @Treggify]

Huge news. Big announcement.

Last year at Config 2023 @bchesky said something while being interviewed by @zoink that struck a chord with me.

1. Have a nerve
2. Designers should start companies...

...and I took that personally.

We're full time @divinate_co baby 😎

If you didn't manage to grab a ticket for the fabulous @uxcampeurope (or even if you did!), why not pop over to Brighton (UK) for UX Camp Brighton 2024 on Sat 27 April?

We're only 30 mins from Gatwick Airport… come and join us European friends!

[UXCampBrighton @UXCampBrighton]

Why should I come to @UXCampBrighton, rather than another UX event?

It's a low-cost 'unconference'. About 40% of attendees will run a 20-min session: doing a talk, workshop, etc. You can run a session or just attend. Up to 45 sessions to choose from!

"People think that they can generate content and paste it into their blog and that means something.

But if your intention's not there.. if there's not a human in the loop... then there's not really a reason for me to care about it"

@Treggify It was an absolute pleasure to chat @Treggify! You were an amazing guest 🙌 look forward to meeting in person at Config :) #TheDenverDove🕊️

[Tregg 🤘 @Treggify]

Everyone says talk to your customers.
No one tells you how much time it takes.

@tihalstead and I have been grinding on this for a minute and today... we launch. Divinate!

Divinate helps you make sense of user research faster so you can build the right thing for your customer.

@mijustin You're welcome, Justin! Absolutely love the thinking in your content, so it's a pleasure to share it with my subscribers :)

If you are a designer, you must know this chair 👇
The brainchild of design legends Charles and Ray Eames, the Eames Lounge Chair has become a case study in great design.

But do you now the fascinating (business) story behind the chair and the company producing it @HermanMiller

[Tom Prior @tomprior]

@MonzoBusiness @asgrim I'm also very keen on this feature being released soon. The related ticket in Trello hasn't been updated by the Monzo team in some time. Can we get a more detailed update on timelines? Is there a recommended workaround in the meantime?

[UXCampBrighton @UXCampBrighton]

And they're live!

If you're new to the conference, it's a wonderful, friendly, community-led, not-for-profit, fun-filled, informative event and this year we are 10! 🎂

If you've never spoken at a design event before, BarCamps like @UXCampBrighton are an amazing way to get started in a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere.

The speaking careers of many a seasoned speaker started at @UXCampBrighton.

It's the perfect event to take that first step.
