To make the best of SVG, it’s useful not only to learn its syntax but also to understand how SVG is generated by graphic design software. Let’€™s take a closer look at the process of generating SVG with popular design apps and how we can use them to our own advantage.

Figma’s magic lives in its collaborative capabilities. If you’ve ever watched someone else’s cursor dance across a frame to tweak a problem spot while you’re filling in copy in that same frame, you…

Like many designers, we’ve long used high-fidelity device mockups in an effort to bring early ideas and designs to life. We’ve tried all the best ones. But they all fall short for similar reasons —…

Design your web UI, then use the design directly from code. No more time wasted translating mockups to JSX and CSS. Using Pagedraw is like adding another React developer to your team.

Today, we’re excited to launch the Figma Platform, a way to improve design workflows by connecting Figma to other tools, scripts and even web apps. We’re starting off with a new concept for the…

Hello everyone and happy new year!

I am very excited for what the new year will bring us! So much happened in 2017 in the UX/UI Design and Prototyping space!

Here are some of the things you should check out in case you missed them. A big one for me was the evolution of symbols in Sketch and design systems as well as collaboration among team members, and easier handoffs and if you work with React, lots of exciting things there too.

The last 6 months of 2017 I was pretty busy with a job out of town so I could not organize as many events but I am planning to start the year strong and we'll have events in NYC around:
– "Why it's good to prototype early and often" an event on the (crowded) prototyping space and. Good if you are new to the group/space. This an updated presentation I based on
– Timeline by Anima App (just released!)
– Fuse Tool's improved UI
– Framer Studio
– InVision Studio
– Figma 2.0

Other big announcement was AdobeXD for Windows

Tons of products now have "Studio" in their name as they all rush to become the all-in-one tool to designers. 🚀

Sketch Workshops in January:
– Basic if you are starting now
– Advanced if you want to learn more advanced workflows or techniques.

Depending on availability, I organize custom workshop for teams. 

What would you like to learn or improve in 2018?
