It's TIME TO IMPOSE SOME TAXES on Design and Development! 🤑🤑🤑

What else should we charge for? 😎

Story of my life:

I used to be deeply betrayed because Slack was the only place I knew that used Ctrl + Shift + U instead of Ctrl + K to add links.

Then Figma changed their shortcut to use Ctrl + Shift + U for links too. And now I am twice betrayed. 🥲

Help! Does anyone recommend a @figma.com plugin to document gradients? 🤔

Today, I took some time to better organize my wildcard @figma file (the one I duplicate before starting any client project).

Important to mention that I work with projects ranging from tiny to big (not giant ones) across diverse niches.

After years of experimenting, this is what’s working for me:

Something tells me this year will be full...

I took three weeks off. As I am putting everything in order I have received 5 new project leads in three weeks. 😮

- 1 from Behance
- 1 from YouTube
- 1 from Linkedin
- 1 returning client
- 1 Referral

One thing I haven't said during the last five years:

🌴 🏖️ I am on vacations! 😍💛

OMG! I finally learned how to get rid of unwanted external libraries Figma. 🎉

It only involved: 3 to 5 plugins, renaming three libraries and almost three hours of work. 😵😵😵

Yeah, this should be simple. D:

Anyway, maybe I will write an article on how to achieve it.

Freelancing sometimes is just craziness:

Minutes ago I was discussing colors for international logistics system in Brazil and now I am working on a dental prosthetic system.

Okay, this is fun... 😅

For some reason, ChatGPT find poetic that "I want to learn how computers work under the hood"... Haha

I have no idea why it thinks that.

Maybe I am just reading too many Jane Austen and J. M. Barrie. Haha

Having a good realationship with my clients is incredible:

I just closed a deal 13 minutes after I sent the budget.
I guess this is my new personal record. 😂

Two reasons I am working for over a year on my website:

First.
I added a lot of cool stuff I don't know how to code and I am learning on the way.

Second.
Instead of just coding I keep having new ideas. 😂

Right now I am playing with some photos a friend took of me.

What do you think? 🙆🏻‍♀️

A few days ago @vpon.me convinced me to come to Bluesky.

I'm still not posting frequently around here, but so far things feel way more calm and work focused around here.

I am loving it. 🙆🏻‍♀️

🙆🏻‍♀️🙆🏻‍♀️🙆🏻‍♀️

Hello, Blueskyers kk! 🙆🏻‍♀️🙆🏻‍♀️🙆🏻‍♀️

Any designer, developer, or just random crazy person doing cool stuff around here?
