Aaron Ang @aaronang.bsky.social · 15/08/2025I strongly believe that design craft will be a differentiator in the era of AI. That's why I've decided to allocate at least 30 minutes a day for play, experimentation, and exploration. Here is a recap of the past couple of weeks. #designsky 000

Aaron Ang @aaronang.bsky.social · 26/12/2024I'm concerned about short-form video content. A quick search yields dozens of research papers finding evidence that short-form video content negatively impacts attention spans. I've also heard a lot of anecdotal evidence. Big companies just want more engagement, but at what cost? 000
Aaron Ang @aaronang.bsky.social · 14/12/2024Aren't most companies just working in a waterfall approach disguised as agile? 020
Aaron Ang @aaronang.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Delightful feature of the day: switching devices for an on-going Zoom call. It's so convenient and smooth! #designsky 010
Aaron Ang @aaronang.bsky.social · 04/12/2024It feels weird to already say "happy holidays" or "see you next year" to some coworkers in the office—one of the oddities of working in an optional hybrid environment. 000
Aaron Ang @aaronang.bsky.social · 02/12/2024I ran a usability study today and forgot to change the access settings for the Figma prototype. Had to figure out on-the-go how to change it while the participant was waiting 🫣 #designsky 010
Aaron Ang @aaronang.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Today, I learned why the Chart Increasing 📈 emoji uses a red line. In Japan, where emojis originated, red is traditionally used to indicate increases in stock values. #designsky 3121
Aaron Ang @aaronang.bsky.social · 29/11/2024"We don’t accomplish anything when we try to convince people we are right. Instead, we need to find ways of making small changes that they can agree with." This quote from Teresa Torres is gold! 130
Aaron Ang @aaronang.bsky.social · 27/11/2024I can't wait for a future where we can bring AR glasses to the cinema and connect them to the closed captioning system. The current closed captioning devices are quite clunky to set up. AR glasses recording movies would be an issue though. 000
Aaron Ang @aaronang.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Does anyone get these on macOS? No clue what software is updating. 100
Aaron Ang @aaronang.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Why do we use the word "resources" to refer to our coworkers? Why don't we just say "people"? Before: We don't have enough resources for this project. After: We don't have enough people for this project. Someone please help me understand. 010
Aaron Ang @aaronang.bsky.social · 22/11/2024This is the worst. It's almost 2 AM and I can't fall asleep. I keep thinking about what I want to do with my career 🫠 Do I want to try breaking into product management? How do I become a better product designer? 030
Aaron Ang @aaronang.bsky.social · 21/11/2024How is everyone handling situations in Figma where changes to a component propagate to frames already marked as ready for dev? #designsky 200
Aaron Ang @aaronang.bsky.social · 20/11/2024I'm so curious about all the decisions that led to Jaguar's rebranding. Why does the home page highlight fashion models? 300
Aaron Ang @aaronang.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Advice I would give to people interested in UX: 1. Complete the Google UX course to understand what UX is. 2. Design something at least 30 minutes a day and share your work in progress. 3. Make use of ADPList to receive mentorship. 4. Follow advice that resonates with you regarding your portfolio. 010
Aaron Ang @aaronang.bsky.social · 19/11/2024I would love for @figma.com to make community files collaborative. For example, if I were to publish a Bluesky UI Kit as a community file, why couldn’t someone create a branch, and make a merge request? This would be a huge win for the open source community. 030
Aaron Ang @aaronang.bsky.social · 18/11/2024Sitting in on a user research study is always so inspiring! Even if it's not the product area I'm working on. Will make it my goal to attend at least one per week. 010
Aaron Ang @aaronang.bsky.social · 18/11/2024Is "id.atlassian.net" legit? The two-factor code was sent from "id.atlassian.com". Is this the actual onboarding experience or was I part of a phishing attack? 010
Aaron Ang @aaronang.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Is it weird to apply for a Product Design role at Apple if I don't own an iPhone? I'm a proud Pixel owner 😬 130
Aaron Ang @aaronang.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Will AI replace product designers? A key part of our role is helping stakeholders align and identify the right problems to solve. I often think about how our work drives meaningful business impact. I don’t think AI is anywhere close to achieving that yet. 110
Aaron Ang @aaronang.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Feeling pretty lost lately with my product design career. I'm not making the impact I want. I constantly think about how to improve as a product designer. The least I can do is create or copy designs daily. So, here's a small step towards building a Bluesky UI Kit in Figma. 010
