Here's mine. An item that I really like and helps me dish out ideas is my humble Black Pilot V-sign pen you see next to the steel glass.

Hey folks, 

I am setting up my desk for the first time after a long time. Currently my desk is completely empty with just a laptop on it. What are some items that you would consider buying. 

Give me all the ideas and links if possible. Want to make this awesome

How to setup a functional yet beautiful desk?

Founder

I have an idea that I want to work on, it’s not unique but solves a real world problem. 

While I can sort out the end to end implementation from engineer side of things, currently struggling with “designers block” (not sure if that’s a thing, but you get my point).

I have very basic design, but i feel a good design can bring the app to life. Here are my thoughts- 


- Tried looking on dribble but mostly people leave one or two screenshots and that too without the figma/prototype. 

- where do you guys take inspiration from while working on any new idea?

- Considering I want to hire someone, what would be an approximate cost of an app of 8-10 screens. (apologies in advance, this might sound stupid but not sure how designer charge)

- Considering I want to learn/improve stuff, where do i start? have worked with figma and xd in past, can draft an average UI.

Design folks of grapevine, where do i find some good prototypes?

I’ve noticed that many designers tend to have an inclination towards some or the other art form - often sketching/painting, but can include music, dance and acting too.

It’s been observed that practicing different art forms can actually help to feed creativity into each other. The explorations from one can serve as inspiration for another.

Speaking for myself, I play guitar and sing.
And I’ve found it to be a nice way to just unwind - though have not felt much of it feed into my professional work.

Would love to hear from others here, if you have an art form that you tap into for work inspiration or otherwise. :)

Designers of GV, what’s a design trend you think is overrated?

I’ve been contemplating getting the mx master 3s for a while now but just wanted to understand if it’s worth and how it’s changed your work.
I bought the apple Magic Mouse and used it for just 2 days, just gravitated towards the trackpad. Would like to hear from Figma users if any on how you’ve customised it and if it’s a worthy purchase ?

Mx master users anyone ?

Early in my career, I was working with a client who was always frustrated with me. I was also frustrated with her because she always used to give design inputs and had horrible taste and decision making was absolute shit.

I got so angry at that woman that I added a middle finger gesture in the reflection of the water. It was super unnoticeable but if you really knew where you were looking at then you could make it out. 

The craziest thing is that they actually posted that in their social media. 😂

Comment or DM your portfolio or proudest work till date irrespective of your experience level. I will reach out to the right folks individually 🫰🏻

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

Have an idea for an AI tool. Unfortunately not a Programmer but a Growth and Marketing guy. Would love to partner with someone and discuss, test the idea, built and mvp and see how it fares. If we go ahead it’ll be 50-50 😊 
It’s better to be upfront than later have complications. 
P.s: Tool on Content Creation and….

Sometime i jump directly into visuals. I have strong visual craft skills and can do motion design as well. I do not overthink while designing small popups or bottomsheets. I admire Cred’s design a lot.
