The best sunglasses aren’t designed by drawing a beautiful frame.

They’re designed by solving dozens of small problems.

How should the frame fit different face shapes? How heavy should it feel? Which materials balance comfort and durability? Can the design be manufactured efficiently?

The final product is usually the result of countless sketches, CAD models, prototypes, and refinements.

Good product design isn’t just about appearance.

It’s about making complexity feel effortless.

if i had to start over tomorrow, i wouldn't try to be a better designer. that race doesn't end. someone's always faster. someone's always cheaper. someone's always got a shinier profile.

i'd go look at what everyone else is offering. properly look. and then find the thing nobody's doing.

that's the gap. that's the whole thing.

and then, this is the part people skip, you say it. out loud. over and over until it's boring to you and obvious to everyone else.

because a gap you found and never talked about is just a hunch you had once.

Finding the gap instead of trying to out-skill everyone already in it is genuinely the smarter play

It's a nice design, Oleksandra! Although, I'm not sure how the typography would work if I wanted to visit Äteritsiputeritsipuolilautatsijänkä in Finland 🙃

If you had to choose one option to present your brand without actually talking to the users, what would you choose? Lately, I've been pushing myself to explore what's possible with Figma Motion and see just how far I can take animations without leaving Figma. I recently came across a really smooth WhatsApp animation and thought, why not recreate it? So I challenged myself to build it from scratch, paying close attention to the timing, easing, and micro-interactions. It's been a fun way to learn, experiment, and sharpen my motion design skills. How do you think it turned out? 👀 I'd love to hear your feedback!

Animated visuals makes the user stay, while static will not attract much
