I canโt overstate how all-in I am with design systems.
Yes, for software products like the one we have at Inflight, but Iโm talking about for any sort of artifact-generating process with AI.
I touched on this in last weeks live stream and Iโve gotten so many requests to show how I do this.
Working on doing that.
Hereโs another example of how Iโm using design systems to produce consistent thumbnail images for our live stream.

Dive Radio: Nobody Has It Together x.com/i/broadcasts/2โฆ
A lot of my design career felt like losing.
People tell me how inspired they are by my story. Dude, I did not feel inspiring at any point in this story.
But the losing isn't what inspired people. It was the perseverance.
I had people DM me yesterday to tell me they had no idea I was a former Marine + a few other reasons they felt inspired. It's easy for us to look at the moment in time of those being celebrated and assume:
"They have. They always have, and I have not. They'll never understand."
But two things:
1. They don't need to understand. Stop living your life waiting to be understood.
2. Everyone has lore. Focus on your own. Build a story worth talking about. No story worth telling is without period of extreme pain.
Take accountability for yourself. Timebox your misery.
Recognize your advantages and learn to celebrate the little wins.
Remember that almost nobody has it together. We're all just doing the best we can.
Often, the only thing separating any of us is how we choose to respond to the world.
This is almost entirely what @ridd_design and I will be talking about today on Dive Radio.
