"Doodler turned CEO" is the perfect origin story I think.

Whilst I prepare the next batch of 8px Radio episodes, I'm sharing a recording of an article I published on Smashing Magazine about components. In the previous installment in the series, we took a good look through the process of building flexible and repeatable components, aligning with the FRAILS framework. In this second part, we will be jumping head first into building adoptable, indexable, logical, and specific components.  Article: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2023/12/building-components-consumption-not-complexity-part2/

Hey everyone! I was published in Smashing Magazine this week with an article titled "Overcoming Imposter Syndrome By Developing Your Own Guiding Principles", and thought that because it's a long article you may like to hear an audio version of it. Let me know what you think

I was recently interviewed in Furquan Ahmad's YouTube channel about design systems and thought it would great to cross-post it to you all as it works just as well as a podcast. We discussed: What they are in 10 words What they aren't! How to encourage adoption Whether they limit creativity Advice for junior designers getting started with them Naming convention advice Hope you enjoy this cross post

Our podcast is hotting up and coming very soon. Every episode only asks 5 questions, so what are they?

It's time for a new podcast for creatives. Rather than talking about case studies, our favourite grid systems, or design systems, let's find out a bit more about our favourite creatives. I'll be asking just 5 questions, and keeping episodes nice and tight.
