Founders are making some of the most difficult decisions now than they’ve ever before. Over the past two weeks I’ve talked with a number of early stage founders around the country about their product teams and what’s on their mind, and it’s frightening to hear how many people are concerned…

Well, for starters it’s probably someone with 3 years of experience or fewer. Any more, and you simply wouldn’t be the designer of the future. And frankly, there are more than enough companies looking for designers with 7+ years in experience, so I’m going to go the other way and…

Login is possibly the most boring afterthought of any design project and it’s possible that you won’t read past this sentence as a result. Still with me? Good. Login is easy and has nothing to do with the amazing product you’re designing. And after designing dozens of other screens over…

A couple years ago I gathered the best design teams on Medium. I wanted to update the list (and expand out beyond just looking at Medium) because I think many design students and any curious design professionals look to best-in-class for inspiration and learning. While I’d hesitate to call this…

I’d like to highlight some things that might be hidden in plain sight, while also dispelling a few myths that still plague designers looking for opportunities…

The age of non-tech founders is upon us. For years, it’s been assumed that you had to have a tech background to start a tech company but that’s no longer the case. Technology is cheaper, it’s easier to spin up apps with minimum overhead, and talent is widely available. While…

If you’re not targeting enterprise initially, many B2B SaaS companies (if they’re successful) will eventually move up-tier to larger companies. It’s only natural since the margins and revenue are undeniably attractive as you increase the average contract value. But this isn’t an article about sales, it’s about product. First, before…
