I've been going through old work videos and found one from when I was trying to figure out how to ship our new color system without breaking the world. "This is stressful, I hope we're not talking about what a mistake this was a year from now" So far so good 😅

Even the best design systems can miss critical accessibility details. What if you could catch them earlier? This guide shows how to use design system annotations to proactively build accessibility in. Start bridging the accessibility gap to create better experiences for everyone. gh.io/AAwbu5k

This is such a great post! Being able to read JSON files (and other code) is an underrated skill for designers. Love this callout that you don’t need to know how to write it to understand it.

This week Anthony and I do something a little unconventional (for us) and chat about Config. creators.spotify.com/pod/show/com...

You use accessible components but your designs still have accessibility issues. Sound familiar? I published a 2-part series exploring why these issues persist and how to solve them with a set of design system annotations that can capture critical accessibility details. github.blog/engineering/...

This talk from @inazarova.bsky.social and @objartel.bsky.social brings me so much joy. I love seeing a technical talk about color at a design conference ❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfVU...

why trouble thyself with CSS-in-JS when you could have a little walk-in-the-wilderness. a little peace-in-your-heart. why waste thy hours comparing runtime environments when you could be spending time running in the environment

Such a fun time sharing about my relationship with rock climbing! Last week marked 2 years since I broke my ankle. Here’s a photo of my very first time back on the wall post surgery.

Every few months or so I try to use one of the fancy new text based podcast editing tools and I just can't do it. I just find timelines so much more efficient and safe.
