This collection of cheeky, vintage-inspired merit badges celebrates the unspoken truths of working in tech. From soft skills sorcery to Figma wizardry, each set honors the quirks, coping mechanisms, and quiet triumphs of building digital products. |
Whether you survived another sprint planning session or tamed the wilds of auto layout, you’ve earned these.
Ever ship something before everything was ready? Same.
Today I’m rolling out a soft-ish launch of the not-yet-off-the-presses Merit-ish Badges—vintage-inspired sticker sets for designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve survived feature bloat, awkward retros, and that one “quick tweak” that turned into a complete do-over.
If you’ve ever:
- Shipped a feature that shouldn’t have shipped
- Said “we’ll circle back” for the 50th time this week
- Made it pretty because someone asked nicely
Then yes, you’ve earned a badge.
🤑 For a limited time only, you can grab a set at cost.
The only catch? I’d love your help getting some real-world product shots.
All I ask:
- Stick ’em on something fun
- Snap a photo
- Tag me and Beyond UX Design when you post
I could take pictures of my own laptop, but yours probably has cooler stickers already.
Choose from three sets

Cult of Figma Initiation
You’ve nested frames within frames. Battled autolayout demons. Stared into the abyss of Variant Logic and whispered, “More states, please.”
