It was at this point that I decided...maybe it's time to integrate some A2UI and try out a different type of UX. Now it's getting really fun 🤩 #aiUX #intentDrivenUX #IDUX

Designing with AI doesn't make bad designers good. It's actually making the already good designers really, really good, and leaving everyone else exactly where they were. Still not good at design and it’s even more noticeable now.

"Let it breathe." Translation: give it some space. Same card, same words. Only the spacing changed & suddenly it's easier to read. What's the most cramped screen you use every day? 👇

Pigeon Shot in PynkPyrl flies from point to point in your pinboard, perches, looks around, then moves on & repeat. Did not expect to love it as much as I do. Simple example using just my Q SVG and default color/lighting settings. #buildInPublic #shaders #design #3DDesign

Curse of Knowledge: because you know, doesn't mean they will. Builders know every button, feature & shortcut. New users see mystery icons, guess… & leave. Where have you run into this? 👇 See more at howtospeakdesigner.com - Now with sound! #design #curseofknowldge

Tesler's Law: complexity never disappears. Someone has to handle it. If the app won't, the user will. Usually while typing MM/DD/YYYY. 📅 What's the worst form you've ever had to fill out? 👇 See more at howtospeakdesigner.com #design #ux #ui
