This was fun! Always rewarding to compare notes and learn from other creators and also think through some great listener questions. Thanks for hosting, @anirudhux! If you have a question or feedback about what I spoke on, DM me or @DesignLota :)
I’ve been curious to know how designers create content (podcasts, writing, videos and courses). Getting to pick the brains of some of design (and design adjacent) folks tomorrow. Join me, @kingsidharth @AngelineBhavya @Sahilxdesign and @saptarshipr nitter.gq/i/spaces/1lPKqXVwWaMxb

Great designers are strong at "product thinking." This is a key aspect of many design interviews, as well as many PM or VC ones. But what exactly is product thinking? And how does one get good at it? Thread below 👇

I’m considering speaking at some remote conferences this year and next. Any suggestions? Topics I’m contemplating: ethics in design, how diverse teams make dollars & sense, business + design, and some personal stories of being a Black designer in tech since 1996.

“Specialise in what you love. Because you have to wake up everyday to do it. Or you‘ll end up doing things you don’t love because it’s on your portfolio. But it’s good to know how everything works” - @rufusd on the generalisation vs. specialisation debate. #Dup19
