The family black sheep. I post a mix-tape of gaming, UX / UI, and random thoughts, sprinkled with memes and hot takes.
Sometimes it's tough to focus on things like work when there's just an avalanche of anxiety-inducing things happening

#Figbruary 18 - Skeuomorphic note icon. A lot of icons this year for some reason. 2 variations; with and without a button-like background. I personally prefer flatter, simpler icons, but whatever floats your boat :)

My simple take on a clock widget for #Figbruary 17 - futuristic/sci-fi. I felt like it worked well with a cyberpunk theme and a slight glass effect. Made in Figma.

#Figbruary 14 - Animated Icon Microinteraction. Just a simple upvote/downvote arrow icon animation when pressing and clicking. Made in Figma.

Redid my #figbruary 4 challenge for a radial menu. Felt lazy only having one level, so... MORE!

Save directly to your brain!

#Figbruary 4 - Radial Menu for a game

Mocked this up fairly quickly in Figma. Timeboxed myself because I realized that each radial menu can spur more radials and didn't want to go down that rabbit hole right now 💀

Doing the @figma.com #figbruary prompts when they call to me this year. Here's my day 2 prompt - minimal music player
Bluesky was not great for the video format on this one (too tall), so I've just included some images for now.

I'll be 40 in 2026 and I don't think I'm ready for that on almost any level.

Gamer folk! If you're into Soulslikes (Dark Souls, Elden Ring, etc) I really recommend giving the recent Lords of the Fallen a try.
Great art style and scenery, gameplay very much DS-style, a lot of possible character builds and weapons, with a few new ideas mixed in. I'm on my 3rd play.
