An evolving design process. By moving fluidly between FigJam, Figma, and tools like Cursor, I rapidly develop ideas and translate them into outputs that are as close to production ready as possible.

Posthog > Usage data and screen recordings

FigJam > Planning, structural architecture.

Figma > Mockups, quick flows, messy visualisation of the proposed future

The "D" icon represents these principles, it's strong silhouette showcases Dobbin’s bold personality, and sets the tone for the wider visual language.
