As I mentioned in my previous blog post about AI wireframing, your biggest asset as a startup is speed. The last two workdays were spent using a combination of Claude, Figma, Cursor, and Wispr Flow to work on an HTML prototype. I created a large desktop React prototype with seven modules (launch checklist, [secret module […]

As a start-up, your biggest asset is speed. I’ve used a new technique that I’ve called prompt wireframing where I use a combination of tools to get the job done. There is this moment in a project when it’s unclear where things are going. There are designs somewhere. There’s a user story spreadsheet somewhere else. […]

As the year draws to a close, I saw a few “year in review” posts pop up, like this one by Pawel Grzybek. This seemed like a good idea, so I wrote one. I used to make these year in review websites, where I would experiment with new technology. I also used them as a […]
- Posted in entrepreneurship update
Right now, I am looking at the designs for the new Obra website. Earlier last week, I posted an update to the current website, changing my positioning from being a solo contractor to an agency founder looking to find the right people. My intent is to have the correct mix of working on the business […]

Deze zomer beëindigde ik na 2,5 jaar mijn contract bij Doccle. Ik woon sinds 2 jaar in Mexico-stad, waar ik de liefde van mijn leven heb ontmoet. Na een schitterend huwelijk en bijbehorende huwelijksreis was het twee weken geleden de tijd om de draad van het werk opnieuw op te pikken. Het voelt aan als […]

I would like to take a stand against “design systems” as standalone work; meetings to “officialize” components and designers building three tier token systems that most likely will just get ignored by other team members. I believe that for some teams, the design systems pendulum has swung too far. We have people spending days and […]

Yesterday was my last day at Doccle, and I’ve been asked what I’m going to do now. Over the past few months I’ve been thinking about this. As I talked about in my “choose your own adventure” blog posts, different options were in my head: a full-time position at a US company; an agency; founding […]

Het is me al wel een fietsweek geweest. Vorige week dinsdag ben ik voor de eerste keer “Bosques” gaan doen, dat wil zeggen: gaan fietsen in Bosques de las Lomas. Vandaag was ik er opnieuw en ik moet zeggen: damn, dit is toch wel de eigen grenzen verleggen. Hier in Mexico-Stad heb je een aantal […]

I’ve been doing some digital digging while creating some much needed backups. I found this old map project where I was trying to put markers on a map. I remember I made that project when I just arrived in Mexico. I had implemented it in Svelte and in React but I was not very happy […]
