Wow. Did NOT expect this to blow up 😱 I’m still reviewing these, but if you shared your work, thank you. From the hiring perspective, here are some insights that will help you close more deals. Designers, bookmark this. ↓ Here's what I learned: 1. Speed = visibility ⏰ • Early replies get seen. Late replies get buried. • The feed got super chaotic, timing matters. 2. Cut through the noise 🗡️ • Bad work stands out more than work that’s “mid” or “generic.” • Visuals need to be unique, have character, and feel alive. • Social proof (mutual follows, big companies, testimonials) helps a lot. • 2–4 pieces of work is perfect, more than that is overkill. 3. Presentation is key 👁️ • Website > Direct Figma Link > 3rd-party portfolio site • Include work directly in the post (motion helps, not required) • Skipped “.framer.website” and “.vercel.app,” feels amateur • Skipped any unverified accounts… just get premium • Human profiles > agency/company accounts. 4. Communicate professionally 🗣️ • Respect the preferred channel... I got tons of DMs I never asked for. • Don’t try to “qualify” a client before showing your work. Wrong order. • Empty claims about “conversion metrics” or “technical skills” don’t land. • Tagging others is dope, but the endorsement only counts if they show up. 5. Instant deal-breakers 🤬 • A few people messaged my personal IG (super weird); and some asshole even had the audacity to find my WhatsApp number and call me twice (instant block). • Making me do extra steps (“DM me first…”) • Pitching something unrelated (copy, branding, growth, etc.) • One-liners like “hey” or “landing page?” with no links. • Paragraphs of text… I’m not reading all that. • Overconfidence is not attractive — let your work be the flex. • Any hint of desperation or self-deprecation. 6. Things that surprised me 🤯 • Someone pitched $10k (double my budget). Got my attention, but too aggressive. • Quote RT portfolio links… not sure I love it, but a cool trick. • None of the designers I initially had in mind showed up. Interesting. • Random haters, shit’s hilarious, lol. 7. The core lessons 🫱🏽‍🫲🏼 • Your work and your site should do the heavy lifting. • A clean domain, strong examples, and good communication. That’s it. • As a fellow designer, these notes are for me too. • Let’s apply this to level up and earn more work. P.S. Thinking about hosting a space to chat about design, sales, and growth. If you want to be part of it, DM me.

Designer friends, I'm thinking of hosting a weekly (or bi-weekly) space here on X. Chat about: - design process - sales/marketing - art/music - crypto Would be a great way to meet each other, share advice, learn new techniques, collaborate, and educate others. Who's down?

This girl is really cool. Everything's so new, but it feels super healthy. This was unexpected, and the future is uncertain, but... I'm happy and grateful.

Friends, I trust you're enjoying the internet right now. I don't have much to write about in this current season of life; but I do, genuinely, want to wish you the best in your current endeavors. - S.

Cookin' something cool with Charged Particles & MODE. More info soon.

Visualizer loop. First experiment with Flora. Fascinating tool, fun workflow.
