Some other small piece of my current design exploration.

Design feels more and more like AI-curation. I now spend nearly half my time with AI tools: – Estimating tasks – Getting unstuck with visual metaphors – Generating image references – Asking for quick feedback Are you seeing the same shift?

In 2017, I landed my first design job. A small product team full of post-Soviet magic: – One project manager spent his workday building a birdhouse in the office kitchen. – There were two QA engineers in a tiny team, which always puzzled me. What were they testing? Maybe each

Another idea

I still don’t understand. $100 templates look much better than some websites made for $10,000 or more. And still, clients go with the expensive one. How is that possible?

Still got some glowing stuff to share. Let me know when you’re tired of it and I will stop.

Starting a project today with someone every design person follows on X. Wish me luck🤞

Why I believe strong visual design is super important (from what I’ve seen in real projects): – People quickly decide if a product is good or not just by looking at it for 1s. – If design looks cheap, people don’t trust the product even if it works well. – Good layout helps

I use two simple checks to see if a design looks cool: 1. Blur it — it should catch the eye in the first 0.5s. 2. Zoom in — details should still look clean and nice. If both work — I’m happy with it. Here’s one example from my work

Little walk

A quick Monday warm-up in Figma. Wishing everyone a productive week!

Tips for better bento sections: – Define 1–2 key features — give them extra space or color – If everything glows, nothing glows – Use one block to break the rhythm — not to explain, but to surprise – Let the grid be invisible — but still be felt – Repeat one visual trick, but not

New AI-related project in progress. More soon.

Testing a new offer for SaaS, product teams, and founders. I’ll redesign your hero section with these simple rules: – just $100 for the first 2 spots – one iteration – I can share it on social media You’ll get a clean, visually strong hero that converts. DM me if you’re

Something fresh from my new project. Best way to explain a product - show what it does. Even if UI is not 100% real, a simple visual can help people understand the value in 2 seconds.

Playing with metaphors for a fresh AI project

Prompt Library for Miyagi

I’ve been putting this off for months, but finally decided to finish the CV template in Framer. Going live very soon.

Over the past years I’ve made dozens of UI cards. Here are 5 simple rules I always follow: 1. Use instantly readable metaphors People should get the idea in 1 second, even without reading. 2. Show the idea, not the full UI Simplify or stylize the interface to make the message
