, Apple’s yearly developer conference where they reveal new platforms, technologies, and (most relevant here) design languages. During the presentation they released their newest iteration, dubbed Liquid Glass. https://webdesignernews.com/liquid-glass-but-in-css/
With that in mind, we’re focused on increasing the number of designers who receive leads and the number of leads each designer receives, with work underway to improve every facet of the conversion funnel. https://webdesignernews.com/elevating-creative-consistency/
AI is transforming the way we work — automating production, collapsing handoffs, and enabling non-designers to ship work that once required a full design team.
