Well-designed diagrams can make complex concepts more digestible.

Firefox recently introduced Split View - keeping 2 tabs side-by-side - but I'd really like being able to see 5+ tabs simultaneously.
Opera has Split Screen which seems like it could do this but only see a maximum of 4 tabs on their site.
Placeholder copy doesn't need to be boring.
Awesome, Inc. seems like a nice place to work.
The goal is to get better each day. Sometimes it's large leaps, other times a single step.
Getting the color and shape balance correct for @homeplate.deals plate diamond alternate logo.
Next step: animating it and showing it with the wordmark easter egg in the application.

Created a helpful little Easter alert banner for @homeplate.deals.
A pleasant UX is always the goal; especially on holidays.
A look at in-progress browser frame updates
The Plate Diamond grid logo library continues to grow.
Pixelated work but done using a unique pattern. I'm biased but it's pretty cool stuff.
From the archives, here's an un-used but not un-interesting UI exploration of stacked cards.
Happy 50th Birthday, Apple
Friendly reminder that rounded corners aren't mandatory😄.
Just published some design refinements for @homeplate.deals
Almost forgot about this nice little abstracted UI spot illustration I created for a medical startup.
Padres and Brewers are the next logos to get @homeplate.deals Plate Diamond grid treatment.
A few pixels from a survey creation process.
I was only going to post a closeup of one corner of the UI, but none of the sections revealed enough information to be useful, so I just included the whole thing.
A look at some very early progress of remaking logos using Plate Diamond grid for Home Plate Deals.
Here's a look at before and after.
Yes, the broadcast was that de-saturated across all devices.
MLB Opening Night on @netflix.com happened yesterday.
Setting aside the broadcast, the score bug was not awesome. So I took a run at redesigning it.
A great typeface (this one by US Graphics Company) makes other design work much easier.
Happy Opening Day 2026 ⚾️ 🎇
Sometimes you just want to design a browser frame.
Just the right amount of well-considered details.

The beauty of passion projects is you can dive extremely deeply on details.
I know this is only a sliver of a preview but I'm really liking how Subtle UI is coming along.
Ironing out some final interaction details for @homeplate.deals as MLB offseason winds down.
Data shown here is for testing purposes only.
Currently, you need to know 1) what affects the Inner shadow display output, and 2) where to go to fix this issue.
I mocked up one way to easily fix this problem. When an Effect is nullified by unchecking "Clip content", an alert is shown that contextualizes the issue.
As can easily happen, the "Clip content" checkbox has been un-checked. It's one of many available options and could seem innocuous to a user in your organization.
Something is broken, but Figma provides no obvious indication as to "why".
Figma should better communicate breaking changes.
Scenario: You correctly created a button component that uses Inner shadow Spread instead of Stroke. Somewhere in the design process, however, the border disappeared.

When showing a notification count to users, make sure you visually correlate it to any action(s) required.
In this view of residential care leads and residents, I slightly modify card appearance based on priority to make it easier to see which resident(s) need attention first.
