Learning some Blender this weekend. Any advice on where to start?
I strongly believe that design craft will be a differentiator in the era of AI. That's why I've decided to allocate at least 30 minutes a day for play, experimentation, and exploration. Here is a recap of the past couple of weeks. #designsky
Really liking monospaced typefaces recently. Do you have any favorite monospace typeface?
Design exploration for filters. Any favorite filtering patterns?
What do you think of this design exploration for pinning chats in Google Gemini?
