Dear folks, we’re planning an awesome hands-on meetup 🔥
Have you ever thought about what an IT manager’s voice should sound like so that it’s really heard during meetings and negotiations and colleagues don’t have the desire to speed up the call to ×1.5?
📅 On February 17, at our Minsk office and online, we’ll talk about why the same message can either move an initiative forward or go completely unnoticed. Quite often, it’s not the arguments or processes that matter most but your voice, intonation, and the way you engage with your audience.
At the meetup, we’ll scrutinize how to:
🔊 Sound confident and persuasive
🎯 Communicate your ideas clearly and effectively
🛡 Defend complex decisions in meetings and negotiations
⚡️ Spoiler alert: expect lots of hands-on practice and real-life IT cases.
🎟 Register here
Meetup details:
⏰ Time: 19:00 (Minsk time, GMT+3)/17:00 (CET)
🕒 Duration: 1 hour
🗣 Language: Russian
💻 Online: The link to the stream will be sent to your email

🎨 The Psychology of Color in UX
Color is not just aesthetics - it shapes emotions, decisions, and behavior in digital products.
🔵 Blue = trust & calm
🟢 Green = safety & progress
🔴 Red = urgency & alerts
🟡 Yellow = optimism & action
A great example is Headspace - its soft blue palette helps users feel relaxed and focused, perfectly matching the product’s purpose.
Two articles that helped me better understand how to work with color and distribute palettes more thoughtfully in projects:

💡 Little tip: keep an eye on MUI color & accessibility guides - more on that later

Figma has just released a new feature that will supercharge your design system. Say hi to Slots! 👋
With slots, designers can customize components, like menu options, buttons, or icons without detaching, so content can flex without breaking structure.
This mirrors how components are built in code that simplifying implementation and clarifying handoff.
