🏝 Animating Apple Dynamic Island in Figma, supafast!

❤️ Loved seeing the launch of the dynamic island live. It’s wicked to see a constraint converted into an iconic element in the interface.

🤙 Hope this fun tutorial helps folks explore custom animations and have a listen to Texas Sun if you need a little vibey tune today!

Friendly reminder

Designers should never work for free.

Being a passionate designer makes you vulnerable to exploitation.

After a decade of designing I’m still experiencing companies who don’t get creative compensation.

Design is a profession, and professionals should never work for free.

Agree?

Every designer should read this book

The Politics of Design by Ruben Pater explores the intersection of design and politics.

Every design creates a political dimension.

My fave chapter in the book describes the constant shift in color psychology, contrast and culture.

Friendly reminder for designers

Prioritise progress over perfection

As a designer I’ve kept a design journal for years that reminds me of my career progression.

If your confidence is low take time everyday to journal:

What you’ve designed
What you’ve learned
Who you’ve connected with

In just a few weeks you’ll notice a mega shift in your confidence as a designer 🎉

#️⃣ 009 - UX/UI Intentions

Never accept an unpaid Internship

For those starting their UX/UI Design career it's common to say yes to opportunities to 'get your foot in the door'. Internships are an opportunity to invest in the next generation of Designers, not a free pass to exploit juniors for their passion and hard work. I advise all Memorisely students to ignore unpaid Internships and focus their energy on joining companies that appreciate their skills and compensate them accordingly.

I'm proud to share that very soon Memorisely will be offering paid Internships across our distributed teams.

Why I’m grateful to work remote

1. I have more energy day-to-day with personal down time between team meetings where I don’t have to be 100% on form

2. My home office is a meeting room, classroom and design studio with no distractions which keeps me mega creative and able to get more done in less time.

3. Between calls I get chores done which frees up my weekend to spend time doing what I love with who I love.

4. Working with a diverse team around the world expands my perspectives and keep me motivated.

5. I can work from anywhere in the world which gives me flexibility to extend short weekenders into month long adventures.

Everyday I’m grateful to work remotely from Memorisely HQ

Friendly reminder for Designers

Measure success by the value you share not the hours you work.

Endless hours and long days won’t accelerate your career.

Measuring the impact your design has on the business and users will.
