Rafa @rafa@mastodon.design

Hi Design peeps ✨
I'm Rafa, a designer at Netlify, building a platform for web developers, and also a co-host of a fun podcast about design called layout.fm with my friend @kevin

I'm beyond excited about the potential of this new community!

(official #introduction/#introductions)

First week my son goes to daycare and we all get sick. Y'all weren't kidding.

Anyone watching Config today? 👀

Here we go again

Death Stranding is completely bananas, and I hope the future of AR looks like this.

Good morning Mastodon — what are we doing today?

Playing with moving the Navigation bar to the bottom — it doesn't makes as much sense hierarchy-wise, but it makes it way easier to use 😳

Motion.app is an underrated app.

I'm glad that it's cold enough outside that I can finally wear hoodies and jackets again.

You can trace back what I was obsessing over through time by looking at the placeholder copy in my mockups 🙆‍♂️

Two things that made me smile this weekend and for a brief moment forget all the shit going on in the world:

💜 Doctor Who
💜 Astrobot (seriously amazing)

Good morning beautiful humans — what keeps you going today? ☀️

I also put together a transcript of one of my talks and is finally live.

(and check out this adorable "talks" icon 🤣)

Last week was kinda terrible, but a couple things made it a bit less horrible:

1. We binged Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and now I'm in love.
2. Life is Strange 2 came out and we played through episode 1, heartbreaking, sweet, and amazing.
3. Survivor is back! 🙈🙊🙉

Here's a WIP version (the post is not even edited yet, and no images, actually, don't even read it, just look at how it looks haha)

About that blog design, decided to go for a Dark Mode theme, and then change as little as I could to the default text settings of the browser.

Writing a transcript of my old talks, which was a great excuse to design a new blog layout — dark mode all the things!
