If you told me at the start of this year I’d be pushing the number of PRs I am today (as a designer), I would’ve told you you’re dreaming. Wild times!

To all the leaders out there, don’t underestimate the power of believing in your staff and telling them as much. It’ll make them believe in themselves and do great things.

Heya 👋 I’m looking to deepen my understanding of how design impacts business metrics. If you—or anyone you follow—writes, works, or is passionate about this space, I’d love to connect! Who should I be following? Who’s doing great work in this area? Let me know! 🙏🤗

What’s the thing that helped you improve most as a product designer? What experience, mentor, course, book, articles, YouTube channel, etc etc help you the most?

After a 7-year run I'm on the job market. I was unfortunately part of a layoff at Headspace. Although I'm not in a rush, I'm excited to have conversations and plot out my next move. Looking for Lead/Principal Product Design IC roles. Wanna chat? Shoot me an email: [email protected]

15yo me: I just wanna design cool stuff with my friends. 25yo me: I need a seat at the table & be a strategic designer, drive ROI, manage stakeholders, empathy exercise, double diamond, brainstorm HMWs, UI≠UX!!! 30yo me: I just wanna design cool stuff with my friends.

Not sure if anyone uses Snapchat anymore, but it use to be so easy and any time I open it now days I get so lost 😞 Granted I could just be old.

It takes discipline not to insist on doing everything yourself.

Who’s done a really good product course recently? - Product design - Product strategy If you have, what was the course and what made it good in your opinion?
It's not the lack of intelligence, it's the lack of focus that is stopping you.

It’s pretty tiring how quick we are to jump on a coaches after losses. You win some you lose some, that’s how sports work. Do we really need to nail people in the media for weeks after a loss. Move on.
How do you manage your work related stress?
