Some time ago I’ve shared with all ya the Radical Simplicity framework which helps me cut down the complexities in my information architecture design process.
In that post, I list and briefly review existing design thinking frameworks and benefits of using the Radical Simplicity concepts.
Today, I’d like to share…
Walking about with Canon 600D — Canillo and La Massana
You know when they say:
The best view comes after the hardest climb
It’s absolutely true in case of the road to the Mirador Roc del Quer!
Less insane people get there by car, but I’m not one of them, so I went by foot, and I loved it! Taking…
Designer’s point of view on the recent political, economic, and social shifts
If you don’t yet have your opinion on the “The Great Re:set” strategy, watch this documentary, The New Normal.
Important!
I’m not affiliated with the makers of this movie in any way. My wife shared it with me after almost crying on it. Then my friend shared it .Then …
Surrounded by mountains and amazing people!
Where is Andorra, you ask?
Andorra is a little bit in the middle of nowhere, to be honest.
My design process after eight years of testing in the production pipeline
As of Jan 2021, I’ve been working in product space for over eight years. During that time, I’ve experimented a lot with design tools and processes.
Check my portfolio site to learn more about my path (not optimised for mobile use yet, working on it ⛏️).
Here’s the main design process I tend to follow:

It’s 10:34am Monday morning. I git pull the project like a badass dev would and yarn upgrade the programmatic hell out of it.
A stingy question runs through my half-awaken brain — am I still a designer?
Don’t know. Don’t care — the brain outputs instantly.

Searching for productivity gains in engineering
Facts
Let’s get it out of the way; software engineering is a complicated endeavour.
There are several of complex disciplines between front-end and back-end: DevOps, Services, Databases, and APIs, to name the most common ones.
No to no code
No/low-code platforms, like Bubble, Webflow, or Honeycode, don’t offer enough flexibility, scalability, and dependability for enterprise-level…
Making sense of best practices in UX.
It’s a random Wednesday night.
I browse through Google Material guidelines. And this question hits me with a speed of Falcon 9 rocket.
What’s the difference between guidelines, design systems, and conventions?
I start poking…
Guidelines are too loose. Design systems are too strict. Conventions hit it right on the…
Rapid-code patterns in React Apps for designers and product owners who want to contribute directly to the final product
Rapid-code is not no-code
Have you heard of low-code and no-code solutions like Bubble or Honeycode? The goal of no-code tools is to make apps without writing code. You can achieve that goal, but you end-up locked in their platform.
Rapid-code is different.
Imagine a combined flexibility of code with simplicity of Lego blocks…
