Designers should have the same pay as engineers.

Want to know if a company truly values design? Look at their compensation. What an organization pays designers vs engineers speaks louder than words. At Notion, we put our money where our mouth is and pay both disciplines the same. Oh and yes...we're hiring :)

Anyone that has lived through a major redesign knows generating UI on the fly won't be a thing for most products

Putting the finishing touches on "Magnifier," my debut Figma plugin. Just finished the initial version, now it's time for optimization and some additional features. Interested in giving it a try?

Yesterday I built a fun little plugin for blending shapes and colors in @figma. There's a long list of features that I didn't have time to build and a few remaining bugs but I figured it was useful enough to share. Will add a link to the plugin below :)

I was laid off from Slack yesterday. I’m feeling a lot of things at the moment that I’ll articulate later. Regardless, it’s fair to say I’m on the market for new (senior) brand design roles: melhaasch.com emhaasch@gmail.com Referrals, RTs, and vibes appreciated. 🙏🏻
