Weekly Newsletter — April 21, 2025

2 min readApr 22, 2025

It’s time for another round of the Pixels of the Week, your curated weekly UX, design and tech resources!

My top 3 picks of the week

  • Bring out your design dead! Ryan Rumsey created a growing collection of the articles, reports, and hot takes declaring the many deaths of design. And, I can’t stop laughing at this!!
  • AI is the future of accessibility (9min) AI is already improving accessibility: live captions, smart navigation tools, and apps that describe the world for blind users. If we don’t help shape its future, it will keep repeating the same exclusions we’ve been trying to fix for years. By Karl Groves
  • 404 Magazine: a zine at the intersection of UX writing, computer and poetry, by Andy Welfle. This is absolutely my vibe.

Want more articles, resources, and tools? I have plenty more links that caught my eye this week, find them on my blog:

What I’m up to

Collage of 2 screenshots. On the left, a design interface in Phase showing a menu animation. On the right, a hand holds a sticker sheet with colorful cartoon cats and accessories like hats and hearts

I’ve been exploring interface animations as a way to document interactions for developers. Check the small video promoting Phase on LinkedIn. I’m also still super sad that they removed my FigPal, so, I’ve decided to print my own little FigPal sticker sheet (and made some for my friends and colleagues). I won’t sell them, but it was also a nice way to try to make my first kiss cut sticker sheet. I might explore this in the future for my sticker shop. And yes, I still need to put my Coffee / Tea because murder is frowned upon stickers in the shop, but, Payhip is a mess for variations, so I haven’t found the best technical solution yet.

Last but not least, regarding this “newsletter” format: some people reported it was hard to read with big paragraphs of text in bullet points. I’ve removed the bullet points for now. Let me know what you think (by DM or via contact form)
