Hello Reader,

It’s been a while. Hope you’re all doing well in these “interesting” times.

I’m good, thanks for asking. I just got back from London, where I saw Liverpool play. (They lost, but Fulham were outstanding.)

Life lately has mostly been about chipping away at things—and spring is almost here.

Two quick updates:

1. ​A new website​
2. ​A new article about how I built it—and what I think this shift means for designers.

As designers, we've long debated whether we need to learn coding. While I still maintain that mastering design and communication should be our primary focus, there's a new skill that's becoming increasingly crucial: the art of prompting. With AI tools revolutionizing how we bring designs to life, learning to effectively communicate with these assistants is becoming as valuable as any technical skill.

I recently rebuilt my entire website (shocker!) using AI tools, and the experience taught me that while we might not need to code, we absolutely need to learn how to speak the language of tomorrow's design tools.

Read my latest article:
​Designers don't need to code. They need to learn to prompt.​

Talk soon again -

🚧 The site’s still a work in progress. If you find anything weird or broken, I’d love to hear about it. 🚧
