There are a ton of designers out there far more talented than their work environments allow them to show (managers and individual contributors like).


Working on my own product feels like I'm tossing aside the playbook I've learned in my career as a designer Design system? Non-existent Features? As many as can be built in a reasonable time frame Constraints? Mostly self-imposed It's amazing and a little scary

It’s remarkable the number of leaders right now blaming solid ICs for “not working hard enough” when the real issue is the leader’s inability to set a clear goal.

[Opening Figma to look at my designs at the beginning of the day] Me: Why do the designs look like this? Who did this? Oh me. Yesterday. Okay.


I know I'm getting somewhere with my designs when I momentarily try to do something with them as if they're built and fully functional when they're still in the "bunch of rectangles sitting on an artboard" phase.

Don’t let an obsession with productivity kill your creativity. We’re not designed to optimize every single moment of our lives. A lot of creative insights emerge in liminal moments when we’re not rushing to get to a specific destination.

I’m seeing a lot of articles claiming the last 15 years were a “golden age” for design, and how the good times are now over. This is super interesting as very few designers i’ve spoken to the last 15 years expressed any sense that they were living through a golden age.

one day you think you're a good designer, the next you're checking out what font a website is using because it looks fire only to find out it's arial

I wish great designers were more drawn to companies that have great products and bad design.
