The Designer’s Guide to Basic UX Writing & Microcopy: Focus on the Power of Words in UI

Iconography in the Wild: A Visual Analysis of How Top Apps Use Icons to Guide Users

Icons are the silent workhorses of digital product design. In a crowded interface, they are the visual shorthand that guides us, informs us, and helps us act without a single word.

From Drab to Fab: How to Build and Use a Design System from Scratch

If you’ve ever felt that sinking feeling of spending hours aligning a button in a new mockup, only to find three other versions of it floating around in different files, you’re not alone.

The text is a system font, crudely aligned. Links are underlined in harsh blue. There are no gentle shadows, no smooth gradients, no sleek cards. It’s an aesthetic that […]

I Asked a Developer: The Top 5 Things Designers Do That Drive Them Crazy

We live in a world of beautiful pixels, perfect grids, and meticulously chosen font pairings. As designers, we strive for visual perfection.

Designing for the Global Majority: Considerations for Non-Western Audiences
Designing for the Global Majority: Considerations for Non-Western Audiences

As designers, we often operate with an unspoken default: a user who is Western, educated, and accesses the internet from a high-powered device. But what if our “default” user is actually the minority? The term “Global Majority” reframes our perspective. It refers to the billions of people in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle […]
