This is very important.
Material Design is some kind of masterclass in creating design for random goals instead promoting good design. Material 1: “We want to everyone to use these exact components, patterns and colors.” → Uh oh, now Outlook and every email app looks like Gmail Material 2: “Guys,…
Never have I felt so convicted while interviewing someone 🥲 This ~90 sec snippet from @ChrisTauziet has already changed the way I design 👇
I joined @copy_ai as the 1st engineer to see what it was like being part of a rocket ship. After 4 years, I'm taking the leap to go full-time on @mis_click_ - a design+dev agency (ok it's just me) I'm looking for 2 early clients at a steep discount to get a portfolio going!
Aspiring Product Designers always ask me where to start. Here's what I say: Pick a product. Redesign it. Get feedback. Repeat. Eventually, you'll start spotting your own weaknesses, asking the right questions, and knowing which steps you should be taking.

Good design requires ruthless refinement. Most of my time in Figma is spent deleting, simplifying, and making sure everything that remains is essential. The skill required to do this has nothing to do with Figma and everything to do with understanding the user’s problem.
Don’t Google anything you can ask ChatGPT.
Good designers sacrifice quality for speed. Great designers don’t. But how do you find a great designer? For every 50 good designers out there, there is only one great designer — and identifying them in a typical interview process is extremely difficult. You can gauge quality…

A key difference between good designers and great designers: Good designers have to sacrifice quality for speed because they are still developing their craft. Quality isn’t second nature yet... They can move fast when you need them to, and they can deliver high-quality designs…
The worst thing a pitch to professional investors can be is confusing. Professional investors are willing to give early stage startups the benefit of the doubt. They're ok with risk. But they can't invest in a startup whose pitch they can't even follow.
My favorite take on AI Coding platforms like @cursor_ai, @lovable_dev, @Replit, and @boltdotnew.
The classic software startup writes code to solve users' problems. If AI makes writing code more of a commodity, understanding users' problems will become the most important component of starting a startup. But it already is.
One of the highest-return books I’ve read is On Writing Well by William Zinsser. In a nutshell, it’s about writing with clarity, eliminating clutter, and making every word count. Everyone should read this book, but I found it surprisingly relevant for Product Designers. Many of…
I hired four designers last year. We received thousands of applications. I read exactly zero case studies. Explain what I'm doing wrong.
Your portfolio won't get you hired — it'll get you an interview. YOU get yourself hired later in the interview process. As portfolios become easier to create (or fake), this will only become more true.
I meet a lot of aspiring Product Designers looking to land a job. Here are some of the job titles I see: Data-driven UI Designer, Usability Expert, Digital Designer, UX/UI Generalist, Interaction Designer, Design System Specialist, AI Designer... ...and just about every other…
I said this in a comment yesterday, but I'm going to say it out loud here: “When we open a design role, we typically get over a thousand applications. Full disclosure: I don’t click on Behance portfolios.” It sounds harsh, but the reality is that I can’t give every portfolio…
