Are folks still using wireframes in UX or Product design? Feel like more and more of my attempts at wireframes look like mockups, and curious if this step is even valuable.
My take: with components so easy to use, why not just use the pixels? makes it easier to get feedback from different POVs

Today I learned: if you put an email in a "link" on Figma, it'll create a "copy email" interaction within the design view. If you switch to prototype view, it works as a pure mailto: link.
Interesting. Not entirely useful, but interesting.

Inspired me to toss my company logo into some clipping masks and try some stuff out. Could have turned out better, but was fun to make!
It's really impressive the level of detail you get in the gradients you put together. The little details matter (which mine is missing!)

Recent project: design and develop a waitlist landing page for an upcoming B2B SaaS product.
Here's the overall artboard showing the ideation, and a few of my favorite visual details.
The majority of this work sits unused (for this project), but that's the point of the design process.
