simplicity—doesn’t—come—easy

designers love to hate on raw, unfinished things. redesigning the whole ios/watchos/macos/... ui after a decade is a brutal challenge for any design team! almost impossible to satisfy the expectation. most haters around here have never designed in a large organization like apple and are not aware of challenges such as politcs, opiniated stakeholder, impossible deadlines, the list goes on... i empathise with the ui designers in apple. yes! os26 and liquid glass feels rough at the moment! so did the ios7 at launch. it evolved. this will too. i appreciate the brave direction apple has taken with this liquid glass ui. yes it comes with challenges including readability, compatibility and more... let's stop b*tching about it and contribute to solutionise these challenges.

The idea and the execution here 🤌

Dear Designer, A bit of harsh advice today, only because I care for you. Don’t be lazy! Get the f*** out of your comfort zone! Make the most of your workplace. Seek opportunities to learn, contribute, make connections… to grow… Are you a UI designer? Don’t limit yourself to the responsibilities of that title! 1. Go, talk to Developers. Learn how they’re implementing your designs, what technologies they are using. 2. Go, talk to Sales. Learn how they are selling the product you’ve been designing. 3. Go, talk to … Find people with different experiences, skillsets in the workplace. Chase them! Learn from them! Help them! I interviewed a lot of designers from large, top tech companies very recently and to my surprise, I saw how little they did despite the vast opportunities they had in such privileged environments. Don’t be satisfied with the minimum level of effort to save the day. Get the most out of your company and the people around you while you are there. All these efforts, connections, learned skills will greatly be in your favour in your next role and the rest of your life. It will make you stand out in the design industry as a valuable designer and people/companies will appreciate that value. Regardless of what happens in the job market, you will be in demand. Don't play in survival mode, Play the Growth game!

I want to follow more designers here. Who am I missing?

Designers, if you could magically add one new skill to your design skillset, What would it be?

Notion is a terrible product! I respect them convincing the world otherwise though.

tooooooo many landing page designers in my feed. give me some real product designer names to follow please!

Is it only me who watches movies while designing instead of listening to music? 🫣

hey designers, what is your approach to creating such loading animations to share with the developers? - do you code out the SVG animation yourself? - do you use an animation tool that exports video files? - do you ...?

There must be a good voice recording app out there by now, right?! 🎙️ ideally an app that also does speech to text. I have a lot in my mind that I need to get out! 🤯 I often fire up Notes app and type. However sometimes I need my hands for other activities at the moment. iOS Voice Memo app sucks!

🎵 I'm still searching for the perfect music to write, design and focus with... Lo-Fi often feels too slow. Hi-Fi, Electro often feels too much, kinda tiring. There must be something in between Strictly without words! what do you listen to?

🎂🎈Balloons on my profile today and my only wish in my new age, in 2025 is to; ⬈ Help 100+ designers earn more than $100K/y ⬈ Nothing else matters! I never prioritised money over family, yet I consistently earned multi-six figures to seven figures for well over a decade. I do not have any design education or rich parents. I was not born in a fortunate place like London, NYC, but in a small village with no computers in Turkiye. I didn't have any mentors or guidance at all, nor examples to follow or strong connections to leverage. Forget about having support; I had my family, people around me strongly against my pursuit of design. After all, tech/design was a foreign concept in a small Turkish village. It was hard in every way you'd imagine! and I LOVED how hard it was! Today, I live in central London with my wife and 2 girls. I bought our duplex house with a garden that cost 7 figures without any penny from my family. We often go to musicals in the front seat, eat in restaurants, travel internationally multiple times a year, ... We do all these with only my income. They say " Money doesn't buy happiness!" Only filthy rich people who (mostly) prioritised money say that I say " Money makes being happy easier " You do not need millions of dollars with a large business. It is not about being rich for the sake of being rich. It is about having money to afford the necessities such as education, groceries, bills,... experiences that bring joy, such as travel, musicals, meals, ... It is about having "enough money", and multi-six figures often give that to people - Yes my journey was tough, however things are much simpler now. People have access to unlimited resources and opportunities regardless of their location. Often, this unlimited access makes it difficult. Irony! So, I'm dedicating my new age, the new year to . Helping 100+ Designers Master the Mindset and Systems to Scale Their Design Business to Multi Six-Figure Success — Without the Burnout, While Enjoying Life. I have been writing every day for months and it is almost ready! It is going to be amazing! Stay tuned! 🙏

Dear Designers, Can we please calm down a bit? Too many micro-interactions, animations and parallax effects everywhere now!!! It feels like doing it for the sake of catching up with the trends with no meaningful purpose. My 2015 MacBook Pro can't handle it just like most people's average computers. It looks choppy as I scroll and fans are going nuts! It distracts users in most cases from making sense of what the product is about. Let's not sacrifice efficiency and meaning for the sake of following forced visual design trends. Thank you With love ✌️
