Mr. Will Grounds

UX Director @ dotcentric. Trying to capture a biography in one sentence is perhaps an over simplification of an entire life.

@danmall Looks like an automated msg. It’s also written with ChatGPT but I would still be interested to see his work if I needed this help. I say that because as a designer you could likely judge the work in under 5 seconds.

@msj_photo Why wine rather than beer? I can’t imagine them drinking wine.

@DannPetty I’m more concerned that the first experience is “taste Sabrina Carpenter”!

[Mr. Will Grounds @willgrounds]

@DannPetty Agreed!

@awilkinson Kids need to have arguments with their parents about homework :) It’s how they learn to deal with conflict. But they will learn that soon enough when they find there are no jobs for humans!

@adamsilverhq Could the extra items be positioned in a secondary sub nav above the main nav?

[Mr. Will Grounds @willgrounds]

@GeorgeVdesign @0xAlig So you expect users to just admire the animation while they wait for the weather ticker to move across, all while hovering. This isn’t design!

[Mr. Will Grounds @willgrounds]

@DannPetty Something is broken when one of the very best visual designers says that without working for free he wouldn’t have made it. It really is our fault we have devalued the so called profession of ‘design’.

@jasonfried Let’s be honest. Far too many clicks to record something.

[Mr. Will Grounds @willgrounds]

@CharlesPattson @zoink Love it!

[Mr. Will Grounds @willgrounds]

@elonmusk Comets also hit Mars. And the suns not going anywhere for billions of years?!

@mattiaswikman @DannPetty The research you are talking about is not an art. Anybody can do it with simple training!

[Mr. Will Grounds @willgrounds]

@DannPetty I’ve never understood this. Imagine a cleaner saying they can’t do the whole house, they can only do kitchens!

[Mr. Will Grounds @willgrounds]

@ronakkadhi You forgot one point. They clearly make sure the battery only lasts a few years to influence that decision to upgrade!

[Mr. Will Grounds @willgrounds]

@ridd_design Good article and 100% agree. Figma needs to remind itself it’s not Canva. I have never met a designer phased by a blank page!

[Mr. Will Grounds @willgrounds]

@ronakkadhi Not really sure what you are suggesting? That this is a good thing that his team have fooled people with smoke and mirrors.

[Mr. Will Grounds @willgrounds]

@danmall I like this a lot because clarity is so important given that design is inherently messy and can be easily misunderstood.

I would only add I like to say ‘why’ I’m doing it and the ‘value’ it adds. Eg. We are going to do research so that we make sure we design the right thing…

[Mr. Will Grounds @willgrounds]

@whale Agree. Might just take time to reconfigure ingrained muscle memory.

[Mr. Will Grounds @willgrounds]

@keano81 Honestly dogs are way harder. Mine has been barking at 3.00am for the last week!!!! Always worse in summer!
