Zander’s Twitter policy could be summarized as: 'Stop it.' He’s the polite UX hall monitor who yells at bad buttons with the calm fury of someone who’s accidentally fixed your onboarding 12 times.

Built Memorisely into a go-to UX/UI education hub, earned a seat on Figma’s Educator Advisory Board, and sparked multiple viral conversations (one tweet reached ~1.43M views) that shifted how designers think about common UI patterns.

To democratize practical UX/UI knowledge so designers everywhere ship clearer, kinder, and more usable products, turning complex design concepts into bite-sized lessons anyone can apply.

Design should be useful before it’s flashy; clarity and hierarchy beat gimmicks; education should be accessible and practical; critique without ego helps teams and products improve. He believes in teaching by example and making tools like Figma approachable for everyone.

A sharp, recognizable voice that cuts through noise; proven ability to create viral, educational content; strong credibility (founder + Figma advisory role); concise, actionable advice designers can immediately use.

The blunt 'Stop' messaging can come across as prescriptive or critical to some, risking alienation; curated posting cadence might limit conversational community growth; heavy reliance on declarative takes rather than deeper threads sometimes leaves nuance unexplored.

Turn high-impact ‘Stop’ tweets into short threads that show the problem + the fix with visuals; post short Figma screen recordings and 30, 60s clips to increase shares; host regular Twitter Spaces/Q&A sessions and partner with other design leaders for co-hosted events; create a pinned guide/collection of best tweets and templates; encourage replies by asking followers to post their worst UX sins for a weekly critique.

Fun fact: Zander has 147,216 followers while following only 26 people, and his top tweet 'Stop designing with primary buttons' scored about 1.43M views, proving concise critique travels fast.
