I am so incredibly honored to share that I will be working alongside the legend, the myth, the Underscore himself, as well as @ismh86.net, and @myke.social! Our brief collaboration on the latest Pedometer++ Apple Watch update was such a fun experience, can't wait to see what we do next ✨

Hand Mirror 4 is out now, you can take a Snap, draw on it, and save it to your Photo Library 📸 Here's some of my favorite UI details:

I was born too late and never got to design a physical box for my software, so I did a fake one for the “What's new" window in Hand Mirror. This update is almost ready, if you like to make videos or write about this stuff get in touch!

After 3 great years, it’s time for me to wrap things up at Sketch and look for a new thing 👀

I made a new app, Night Knight 🌙 It's a Night Light, a Noise Machine, and a Wake Aid that switches the color of the light at a certain time of day to let my kids know that it's “morning" and they can get off bed. It's also free: apps.apple.com/us/app/night...

It’s always fun when I get to take a break from product and hang out with marketing

We’ve got a biiiig update for you. A complete redesign of Sketch. Maybe you’ve tried the beta, maybe you’ve seen the teasers. Now you can update and try it all for real. And there’s more! 🧵 ↓

This design would have definitely been rejected if I wasn't building it on my own 🙈 Weird chromeless UI that renders outside the window, that you can resize, and move anywhere in the screen, with drawn annotations that you'll need to keep track of their position and scale… 💀

Having fun working on Hand Mirror again 📸

Favorite project of the year ✨

I decided to open up my Opal Tadpole webcam, because I was curious to see how they managed to make it so small… and to my surprise the camera was not installed directly to the board, but with a cable instead! 💡 I don’t know if you know where I am going with this…

If you're like me and are trying to study and inspect the new Liquid Glass effect, I've built a small utility app for you! Test Liquid Glass with all the different options, tinting, sizes, and backgrounds — only for macOS Tahoe for obvious reasons. 💾 rafa.design/glasshole

Here's some other details that I bet most won't ever notice, but (for the sake of my career) I hope some will _feel it_: We've added subtle animations to some of our illustrations, like this background and shines, as well as some hover effects on the cards that accept a click

Did you spot the Easter Egg? There's a hidden dusty corner where you can find @sketch.com 's original icon, back from when it was still called DrawIt 🧓💛

For @sketch.com v102, we rebuilt our iOS 18 UI Kit to support stacks and frames! sketch.com/s/bb57439f-1... Download the "templates and guides" file, too! Has lots of pre-made symbol instances and UIs, color a material palettes, a dynamic type chart, and more: developer.apple.com/design/resou...

I gotta come clean, me joining the @sketch.com team was all part of a LONG CON, just so that I could ship a dynamic app icon — muhahaha, FOOLS!

Playing through #F1 24 career mode and having a blast — I’ve printed a F1 style wheel rim for my old Logitech G29, complete with swappable custom plates for when I switch teams 😂

They asked if I could do a 2024 recap video… and to “go crazy” (I hope they don’t regret it).

Being sick AND having to take care of a baby and a toddler is… very hard.

It a’me!

Seriously, getting a 3D printer was a mistake

We’re working a stack layout feature for @sketch.com, and while we still have lots to do, here’s a sneak peek from yours truly: youtu.be/wK_OXZxakPQ Particularly pleased with how we’ve repurposed the existing alignment actions to override cross-axis alignment on items.

My 3D printer arrived last Friday and I’m having a blast, still learning the basics of 3D modeling but I was able to design three custom pieces:

First time doing this, but for the rest of the week Hand Mirror+ is only $2.99 (50% off) — it's a one time purchase, so if you get it now you'll still get all future big features, including the upcoming Snaps 📸 apps.apple.com/us/app/hand-...

This is brilliant, and that icon ✨

Does everyone with a 3D printer feels like any time not printing is wasted time?

Going to my very first comic-con with my son this weekend ✨

Almost two years ago I started charging for extra features on my app Hand Mirror. I think the app would work quite well with a subscription, but I decided to risk a “Pay once, get updates forever. Price goes up with with every major update” — I’m surprised at how stable this has turned out!

Do you like people? Do you like Sketch? Do you like a combination of the two? Then boy oh boy do we have a starter pack for you! go.bsky.app/EDmXNr9

We've had Macs with a notch for over 3 years and macOS will still just _hide_ your menu bar icons if it runs out of space. There's no visible truncation, no way to scroll, no way to even know that some icons are hidden — it's one of my most reported Hand Mirror “bugs” 🤯

Got back to the gym for the first time since having kids… to my surprise my left arm is now way stronger than my right, from carrying them around.

new username, who dis?

Is there a way to know in which lists you’re included in? Just found out I’m in someone’s starter pack and it made my day 🥰

Is there a way to filter notifications on this app?

Fighting the urge to get a 3D printer — third "urge" this month.

I kinda want Final Cut Pro for the iPhone now.
