Posted to Slack new logo!, Jan 16, 2019 I like it. Brand refreshes are inevitable, and this one feels fresh and friendly.
Posted to Paper Airplane Designs, Oct 19, 2018 Man, this took me back to the early days of the internet. Which is a compliment. Very cool, useful site.
Posted to Multibox Menu, Oct 03, 2018 This is really smooth and pretty. It's also a bit jarring as a user, because it's not "expected" behavior.
But as in most things, it'll depend on the context. I like it a lot.

"Designer" is a loaded term these days. It can mean many different things in many different environments. UI Designer, UX Designer, Front End Designer, Graphic Designer, Product Designer, etc...
More than a global list of technical skills, I think the context of the job in question is the real driver. Who you're working for, who the clients are, and how the company is structured as a whole.
