"Let’s design for multimodal, multi-surface futures. But let’s also not forget the 16% of the global population, 1.3 billion people, who live with a disability. A beautiful interface that’s hard to use isn’t good design. It’s just decoration."

What does the title #DesignEngineer mean to you?

I'm putting together an article and I'd love to hear what your thoughts are, especially in relation to #DesignSystems. Boost for reach? 💜

I spend my week playing with digital LEGO bricks, so naturally I spend my weekends with the originals.

Pictured: LEGO Icon Kingfisher set. It was a rad build, highly recommended.

At a previous job, we would add a camp emoji (🏕️) to the commit message to signal a QOL improvement or "leaving the code better than we found it". I appreciate the encouragement instead of adding a ticket to the backlog. Granted these are low risk/low effort updates, like returning your bin!

Syntax highlighting? This app is amazing 💜

PITCH FOR ONION HEADLINE:

Echo Chamber Fucking Awesome

Design System folks:
Do you conduct experiments on your components to validate decisions?

If so, what kinds of experiments have you implemented, and how are these experiments integrated into the Design System?

You can also disable videos and GIFs from playing automatically🤘

I've put together an article for anyone you know who wants to join in on the #DesignSystems community on @bsky.app

This is an excellent example of leading with results over a list of components, something that @danmall.bsky.social proposed in Design That Scales and what I'm hoping more DS doc sites move to 💜

44 #DesignSystems experts and counting!
