I design detailed, chart-led patterns and love breaking down why things work, not just how to follow them. This community is where I share: - Behind-the-scenes design thoughts - Sneak peeks and WIPs - Tips that don’t always make it into patterns 🛍 Looking for my patterns? You’ll find links collected neatly in the Pattern Links & Resources category. I’ll also occasionally mention them in context when people ask — no hard selling here. 🎓 What’s coming next As this community grows, I’ll also be adding: - Deeper learning posts - Mini trainings around charts and design logic - Early access and input on future resources 💬 How to get involved (optional but encouraged!)
