✨[THREAD]✨
Figma (Adobe 👀) friends, in this thread, I will help people understand how I design these little cards I use in my client work. I get DM’s and messages about them all the time, so I thought I would share a bit of my process.
🎩
A few people have asked me how to design these simple grid backgrounds. I’ve put together a thread on how you can do this yourself. It’s really easy. 👇🏻
🗣️ Let’s talk shadows!
Recently, I’ve noticed a few people doing this sort of stroke treatment on containers, buttons and other elements, and it hurts my feelings, lol.

Our entire team has been working tirelessly for the past few months to completely revamp the marketing site. I'm super proud of it and everyone involved in getting it out the door!
Let's get wavy 🌊
Lots of you have requested a tutorial on how to create this wavy line texture I designed for a recent client project. This Twitter thread will show you how to do it. It's super easy!

🙃 For the last month or so, I’ve been in the worst creative slump. I’ve not shared much of what I’ve been working on because I’ve not felt confident in the work.
However, this week has been better! I designed these little illustrations for a client. ↓

Never in a million years thought that drawing rectangles for a living that I’d be able to buy my own house, never mind and investment property.
Excited for the next few years! 💙
✨ Tutorial ✨
A few people were curious how to design the radar/scan element here. It’s actually really easy and won’t take you longer than 10 minutes.

No fucking way. I’ve just learned that if you double click the Frame/Autolayout/text (whatever it is) icon in the layers panel, Figma will jump to it. 🤯
😍 I've been thoroughly impressed with the work

It's my last week at
