quote of the day- "...details are the design. Everything's a detail, everything's a microinteraction: a chance to delight, a chance to exceed users' expectations."

looking back at my first time using webflow/ my first ever portfolio (started 2 yrs ago), and my current portfolio (started a yr ago). i feel so very optimistic about improvement, for every designer who practices their craft is rewarded in spades.
