I'm a Product Designer. Love to consume art and music.
Afraid of AI taking your job?

Let it.
You hate your job anyway.
Once it's sentient enough, it'll hate changing the font slightly every so often, too.

Might just end it all if I saw one more selfie put through chatgpt and made into "studio ghibli" "artwork". It looks shit. Keep coping.

anyway here's actual artwork from ghibli to cleanse your and my eyes

I have been seeing a lot of hate on the new discord UI. I really wanna understand what all does everyone dislike and why exactly? Because a lot of what I'm seeing is a reactionary "this sucks" or "ew i hate it". I would love to get educated on what discord messed up and why. Thx!

Every time my manager assigns me a task, it's P0. It's either urgent or urgent-er. And timelines are, of course, ASAP and immediately.
Anyway, any advice on context switching? It's so hard to go from trying to focus on one thing to then be thrown another thing that needs to be done asap

How do you make time for your passion projects?
Genuine question because I constantly feel I have no time ever. I work a full time job (6 days/week & 8-9 hrs/day), then I take up some projects on the side. Small projects but w/ obligations. How do I make time for things that inspire me?

Me (an introvert)- Design seems like a very lowkey and chill career where I would need to be self sufficient, I should take that up.
Me (a designer)- *spends most of my time in meetings coordinating with tech and marketing, talking to users and clients managing developers*

Y'know sometimes I despise opening Linkedin. Every person has a harsh truth for UX Designers & Sad Reality of Design. It has become so anxiety inducing. I know a lot of these posts are written or enhanced by AI because of their opening lines but good god, can we have some good news?

We are in the era of hyper personalization.
When ads can use all these levers to narrow down who they wanna sell to, why shouldn't we have access to the same options and customize our experiences completely?
We need MySpace pages and Youtube channel skin level customizations, imo.

Feels like we’re moving back into an era of products giving us more levers to control our experience.

I love how elegantly Particle does this for content preferences.

I’ve had features I spent weeks on rejected because PMs changed goals.
I’ve re-done branding kits because a client saw something on Pinterest and said, “This! This is what I want now.”

But nothing hurts more than thinking it’s Thursday... and realizing it’s only Wednesday. 🫠

I, un-ironically, started in design because of Canva. It was free and easy to use. I outgrew it soon, but it was a great stepping stone. Now, I go back to it with completely different use cases. I genuinely feel that the people who laugh at it think of it as a template editor still. It's not!
Never thought I'd say this but Canva is actually a pretty effing awesome design tool

Designers, do you use AI in any capacity at any stage of your process?
I'll go first- I use Chatgpt to generate copywriting and placeholder products. Lorem Ipsum only goes so far sometimes.

Right now, I'm somewhere in-between trying to impress fellow designers and trying to make usable user experiences.

Great designers can do both at the same time. I'm trying to get there.

Sometimes, I forget what a busy year 2024 was, but then I see this. Work that requires my undivided focus, I can't do it with music, so I listen to podcasts. Idk what about people TALKING I find not distracting, but oh well.
Suggest me podcasts LOL

Disappointed by the visuals of this year's Spotify wrapped as it felt too safe. Turns out, Spotify laid off 17% of their workforce right after the '23 Wrapped. Surely there's a connection. What in the pink pony tattoo house stoned grandma catwalk??

Yt shorts are becoming just as toxic as instagram reels. I always admire content creators because its not easy at all putting yourself out there! Especially when they are trying to educate.

Burnout nearly ended my design career. Instead, it gave birth to something incredible: Fadelabs. Here’s how I turned creative exhaustion into a springboard for new ideas—and lessons I’ll carry with me forever. A thread 🧵
