90% of creating a good design is really just:
Sitting down to do the work.
Exploring more than you think is necessary.
Prioritizing and cutting more than is comfortable.
The little stuff that makes all the difference.

Usability as in "can I click on the button" is important, but usability as in "can I wrap my brain around this thing" is even more important - and yet most product teams only bring in "usability people" after the system has already been designed to be unusable.

Today, I'm starting to pick myself back up after being impacted by Twitter layoffs. What I'm hoping to tweet into reality✨: A remote (EST) senior product role that takes on meaty customer-facing problems. Flexibility to partner with multiple product squads, build from 0-1.🧵
