Finally, after over a 12 months of pestering he agreed to share his secrets in a interview 🙌 We go deep into: Mastering the finer details of craftPutting AI at the heart of the new Fey 2.0Where Thiago draws inspiration outside of UIWhat it looks like to have a “heightened awareness”How Thiago evolved the Fey aesthetic from 1.0 to 2.0Specific visual techniques for making your UI more lifelikea lot more Caravaggio is the painter who Thiago calls the “master of light”The Local Project interior design channel on YouTube

    Design “handoff” is changing forever 💡

    How do designers from today’s top teams collaborate with engineers? After many interviews I'm starting to notice a trend… The highest functioning product teams throw away a lot of code and it’s a good model for what the new “handoff” process will look like. So this video highlights how it works at teams like Figma, Vercel, Perplexity, Airbnb, and more. Jenny Wen (OG designer of Figjam now at Anthropic)Teo Connor (VP of Design at Airbnb)John Pham (former design engineer at Vercel)Vincent van der Meulen (design engineer at Figma)Balint Orosz (cofounder of Craft Docs)Derek Briggs (Design + Code at Hypermode)Anthony Menecola (Staff designer at Shopify)Ammaar Reshi (Head of Design at ElevenLabs — episode coming soon)
