Leading Design Technology @RocketOTD, prev Product Design Lead @FlutterFlow, I design and build :)
Excited to share that I’ve joined @RocketOTD to build and lead the company’s first Design Technology team! For nearly two months now, I’ve been diving into the mission that fuels Rocket: “Helping everyone home.” It’s a simple phrase, but one that carries deep weight. For many,…
Incredible work by the @flutterflow team. They knocked it out of the park with this, and are working to redefine the future of application development with the evolving AI landscape. A special shout to @codywilliamio who worked tirelessly on design iteration for this and…
🚀 The next evolution of DreamFlow is here with a reimagined tri-surface experience. ✓ Build visually ✓ Edit code directly or with an agent ✓ Publish to app stores Start with a prompt, shape it visually, and refine it in code. And we’re just getting started.
BECOME AN INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTOR Over the past few months, I've seen several friends and ex-colleagues proactively move from leadership (manager or managers-of-managers) roles at non-AI companies to IC (individual contributo) roles at AI-native companies. While this might seem…
the new design process is no set process. @jenny_wen completely nails it. 🗒️jennywen.ca/notes/dont-tru…
Underrated feature 😭

Wild things are happening on Meta’s AI app. The feed is almost entirely boomers who seem to have no idea their conversations with the chatbot are posted publicly. They get pretty personal (see second pic, which I anonymized).
If you’re a younger designer on Twitter, don’t be fooled: 80% of the people posting viral shit on this platform are absolutely unhireable. Don’t aspire to be like them.
Good design is a signal that you care. People prefer products built by people who care. Markets reward good design. The end
Another update on FlutterGo 💬 Been spending a lot of time in the evenings trying to get this to a spot that I'm proud of as a first version. Writing posts + recording videos for everything so users have mixed mediums to learn from (example from button components below 👇).…
Builder.ai shutting down overnight is wild. Massive shakeup in the low-code industry. Huge opportunity for @flutterflow and similar platforms! techcrunch.com/2025/05/20/onc…
Material Design is some kind of masterclass in creating design for random goals instead promoting good design. Material 1: “We want to everyone to use these exact components, patterns and colors.” → Uh oh, now Outlook and every email app looks like Gmail Material 2: “Guys,…
Crazy what you can do on Hugging Face in 40 seconds
rejoiced by the rebirth of the skeuomorphic isomorphic 3D icons on @Airbnb I've trained a FLUX LoRA to generate 3D icons in that style
