Themo.me, my little color gig, is also an interesting case of a solo, end-to-end design & dev process assisted by AI coding.
Here are some takeaways from a few months in:

My whole community right now is people being defunded from work they were doing that created jobs and changed people's lives maybe because of their work and maybe because of who they are.

Meanwhile my industry is seen as an *ally* to this. We need to look this in the face.

Some cities want to be painted in oils. #Lisbon demands watercolors. I suck at watercolors.
#watercolors it is.

Olha mãe, (quase) nenhuma aplicação de tradução!

My Portuguese is still horrible, but the story and art of this wise, beautiful piece by by Filipe Melo & Juan Cavia cut through all my language barriers. Like music does.

Nothing like a cozy #illustration project for your home #cafe while you are up to your neck designing devOps tools. If you show up in #Lisbon, Buna Cafe makes the best Cortado. You’re welcome ☕️

As #designsystems as well as #frontend possibilities expand, design decisions need to be communicated across wider areas and mediums.

This is a walkthrough of how I connected #designtokens to #glsl shader, so I could control #3D content in my pages theough #CSSvars

Most #designsystems are much messier and less organized than the giant, familiar enterprise references. Maturity - also of design systems- starts by acknowledging our limitations and planning around them. #productdesign #ui #ux #design

The Negative Space of Design Systems

a Design System is also about the products that don’t adopt it.
