How are you supposed to design anything considered, when there are multiple non-design people making unsolicited changes and comments right inside your work? As if a simple handoff was not collaborative enough. Let's make systems and processes and make everything work like a good solid product team.
OUR VISION
As 9 times out of ten a ‘good’ product designer gives product what they want, and makes the Figma work for the devs. Figma is an excellent tool for making rectangles. But it’s become way too much like a design project management tool. Collaboration is not about being in each other's working files.
Make icons great again
The best Product Owners want you to challenge them, they want smart creative people in the room, and they need your help getting insights out of users and customers. They need you to be great at this. Also spend some more money on a UI (visual design) person with a proper graphic design background. I don't need a researcher to be a ‘Figma Ninja’ or a ‘wireframe hero’. They are designed to be a master of one. If the code is bad, the user notices, as the service is slow and buggy.
Sprint three: Figma
The portfolio tells a personal story, if that person is not right for the job, thats fine, don’t make them change their whole ‘thing’ to get a job they were not destined to get. There is no such thing as a bad portfolio. Just tell your story and make sure the work shown is actually yours, and that you can explain what you did and how you made a difference. Bonus points for describing constraints and what failed and why. Set on an inclined site, the twin 52-story towers rise 699 feet from an openly designed, granite paved plaza at the Flower Street level with a "jewel box" office located between. The three buildings house 10,000 people in approximately 2,500,000 SF of floor space.

I respect that, and I regret previously opining that the design recruitment industry needs a reset. Or that the design industry is crying for a new recruitment model. Or that currently design recruitment is a dumpster fire (sorry). A study and appreciation of history and craftsmanship informs the work of the practice. The studio maintains an active workshop for prototyping, model making and fabrication of key design elements for many of the projects it undertakes.
It's Time to Lease Your Place
Cooper Carry, Atlanta’s largest architecture firm, has acquired 505Design. Cooper Carry will grow from 320 to 360 employees as a result of the deal and expand its office footprint to Boulder, Colorado, and Charlotte, North Carolina. Financial terms were not disclosed. At 505 we recognize that each of our clients are unique.
The buildings have a structural frame of steel covered with highly polished panels of forest green granite and panels of solar bronze glass, set in a disciplined pattern of extreme simplicity. At The 505, practical features rise to new heights with craftily selected luxury finishes. Abundant windows cast natural light through open-concept kitchens, simultaneously highlighting their refined color palette. Beneath sparkling countertops, extensive cabinet storage options feature soft-close hinges and ergonomic pulls. Each integrated appliance was carefully chosen to exemplify beauty and resilience.
We are the people who ask the really hard questions. Followed by the painfully obvious ones. We talk, listen, observe, dig, dive, and mine until we fully understand the intricacies of the project. We immerse ourselves into the lives that everyday people will be leading, holding a mirror to culture and taking detailed notes of the reactions. Because it’s not what we know; it’s what we notice.
I worked at Nokia in 2013 (AKA don’t mention the iPhone) and they had a guy whose sole job was to create beautiful and functional icons. Granted, Nokia is not the best example of innovation, but their icons were shit hot. And no, ‘doing some wireframes’ is not UX, it’s just drawing grey rectangles. It was supposed to be a compliment. Remember, the user does not care how good any of you are at Figma. It’s the integrity of the design that matters.
505Design specializes in mixed-use developments, as well as retail-only and residential-only projects. One recently completed project was for Clear Springs Development’s Kingsley Town Center in Fort Mill, South Carolina. The 505Design San Francisco team is located in the heart of urban living. 505ers take advantage of everything the City has to offer from mountain biking to culinary and wine adventures. The 505Design Boulder office is set against the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
Personally I think being the best at everything you can is a great way to be a successful all-round designer. The ‘Design Unicorn’ is a hugely attractive, yet brutally disappointing, false economy and fallacy, that tries to consolidate everything into one role. It's cheaper and less management overhead. But it yugely affects the quality and integrity of product design.
There’s two new ones every week, it becomes difficult to create a relationship. And these new ones are hungry and promise they will find you work. Like the first 24 hours on a dating app it feels like you are popular and theres tons of opportunities, then you realise you are just one in a stack of hopefuls, and your destiny is out of your hands. Our premium furnished units are move-in ready. It’s all of the comforts of home without the obligation of purchasing furniture, or negotiating utility contracts.
Remember, the user does not care how good you are at Figma. Zweig Group – the leading research, publishing, and advisory services resource for firms in the AEC industry – advised 505Design through this transaction. The deal team included Will Swearingen, Zweig Group’s director of ownership transition, and Tracey Eaves, Zweig Group's director of valuation advisory services. Which is why we don’t hire by profession.
Social media is the worst thing to happen to humans ever. And it’s allowed recruiters to focus less on ACTUALLY placing people, and more to extending their reach, but also sharing their views on design. I am not gatekeeping, but unless you have worked on an actual digital transformation project, and shipped a thing, then be careful about giving design advice. Or how designers should ‘show your process and thinking’. Designers should take portfolio device from other designers.
