The SWARM Grid is a visual framework that helps founders and nonlinear thinkers map their work, uncover gaps, and decide where to focus for the greatest impact. It turns complexity into clarity so you can move forward with confidence. swarmux.xyz/swarm-grid/
Too many teams mistake motion for progress. More tools, more features, more complexity. But less clarity. In my latest piece, I break down why reduction isn’t minimalism, it’s a discipline. One that helps founders, designers, and builders make space for what actually matters.…
AI can generate faster than ever, but speed and polish are not the same as meaning. Authenticity is the one thing machines cannot copy. It comes from lived experience and practice. cardeo.substack.com/p/authentic
Founders don't just need speed. They need rhythm. Knowing when to loop back and when to make the call is the real skill. open.substack.com/pub/cardeo/p/t…
Most design decisions do not happen in a single moment. They loop, revisiting, reframing, and refining until the signal is clear. cardeo.substack.com/p/thinking-in-…
Big ideas start light and fuzzy. Each loop pulls them inward, where constraints sharpen them into something clear and actionable. This is a first draft of a visual I am building for loop thinking.
Good design doesn’t simplify the product. It simplifies the decision.
Linear workflows are great until you’re stuck. Nonlinear thinking doesn’t get stuck. It loops, rearranges, and builds from friction.
Why the first shift in an AI era is your mindset, not your tools. cardeo.substack.com/p/what-to-adap…
I’m tired of hearing “good design should be invisible.” The goal is to hide confusion, not design. Remove friction until what’s left feels obvious.
The sky isn't falling for designers, the lens is just shifting cardeo.substack.com/p/where-ai-end…
🔥 This post by @felixleezd nails it: AI replaces repetition, not judgment. Been building a design clarity system (@swarmuxhq) around that exact idea. Treat AI like your intern, but you hold the taste line. Worth a read: adplist.substack.com/p/becoming-an-…
Every element you keep is a bet. Every one you remove is clarity gained.
Startups don’t die from ambition. They die from distraction. 🎯 Rule of thumb: build less, finish more.
Everyone talks about “clarity” like it’s a vibe. I made it a system. SWARM is the lens I use to reduce noise and spot what matters. It’s not just a UX method — it’s how I work, write, build, and design. You can use it too. swarmux.xyz
AI hasn’t killed design, but it has reshaped what matters. Next week, I'm publishing an article explaining where AI ends and design begins. Subscribe for free to get it in your inbox cardeo.substack.com
Design isn’t disappearing. It’s just getting harder to fake. The shiny layer is getting swallowed by automation. Good. That was never the real work. Design isn’t pixels. It’s clarity. Intent. It’s the thinking underneath the doing. Voice? No UI? AI agents? Still design. Still…
