Pixel Perfect Picks #134 - Rise of deseng, every.to, Toshiki Soejima

Hey there 👋

Welcome to this installment of Pixel Perfect Picks. Here I'm sharing something that I heard, read, and saw. You can subscribe to this newsletter here. I'm additionally publishing a more extended essay about software development, design, and freelancing every month.


Saw Something

Last week I've seen probably one of the best in terms of content talks about the current Rise of Design Engineering and one of the best advice that I'm currently sticking to every day, which is: develop your taste. After watching this, I'm very sure this will be the differentiator for designers in the upcoming years. Thanks to Raphael for sharing this diamond.

Read Something

I'm currently reading so much about AI that I don't know if it's slop or not. because it's just everywhere. Speaking of every (pun intended) this has become my most favorite resource about AI things

Heard Something

Sunday morning, the sun is shining in mid-March. I have coffee on the balcony, but I'm missing some good music. I'm currently listening to every live jam session by Toshiki Soejima on repeat, and it's fantastic.

About Marvin Messenzehl

I love working in the realm between design and code. Some things that make me excited are CSS, Interaction design, Javascript, and making interfaces feel fun and human.

Currently, I'm designing & building interfaces at DAYY.  Besides that, I'm teaching UX and UI design at Memorisely.
