When I inherited a project with thousands of legacy image files scattered across S3 buckets, FTP folders, and a dusty CMS, my first thought wasn't excitement — it was dread. Managing those assets manually was a productivity sink and a UX liability: oversized images, inconsistent formats, missing...

I’m going to walk you through a practical, step-by-step checklist to make your website accessible — and I’ll show you how to do it without breaking your carefully crafted layout. Accessibility doesn’t have to mean sacrificing design. In...
I love pushing Procreate beyond its sketchbook comfort zone — especially when I’m designing backgrounds that need to look organic and hand-crafted but also behave reliably on the web. Creating generative-style backgrounds in Procreate is one of...
I run a lot of short product sprints — not because I love meetings, but because a tight, well-orchestrated five‑day UX sprint is one of the fastest ways to cut through uncertainty and leave a team with clear next steps. Over the years I've...
I’ve been experimenting with AI image tools for a while now, and one thing keeps coming up: it’s easy to generate interesting one-offs, but much harder to produce a cohesive set of visuals that feel like they belong together. Whether you’re...

Pricing pages are where words meet money. Small copy tweaks can change how someone feels about value, risk, and urgency — and those feelings directly affect conversions. Over time I’ve tested dozens of microcopy changes across marketing sites...

When I want to validate an onboarding pattern quickly, I reach for the simplest, most human-centred method I know: testing with five real users. It’s cheap, fast, and—if you do it right—reveals the biggest usability issues without getting...
Messy product backlogs are a reality I’ve come to accept — they grow faster than we can tidy them, priorities shift, and designers end up firefighting while trying to keep a coherent visual and interaction language. Choosing a design system in...
