I’ve been tinkering with design since I got a bootleg copy of Photoshop 7 many years ago.

Now the tooling has changed (I use Figma), but principles of good design will always remain valuable.

I am mostly self-taught, but visual design / graphic design is a huge passion of mine. I’ve always admired the craftsman-like zeal of ace designers as they build good, usable software.

These skills are very valuable. I agree with Brian Chesky, there should be more designer-founders in the world.
