Design is easy.
- Your CEO wants you to "design like Apple" with 0.001% of their design budget. Also your CEO: "Why does this button need to be so big?"
- Engineering: "We need to completely rebuild the design system before we can change that color." Reality: The color gets changed in 2 hours when a major investor complains
- Your board member saw Figma's new AI features and now asks your CEO: "Why haven't we replaced our designers with AI yet?"
- Research team: "We need 3 months for proper user testing." Reality: Features get designed based on what the CEO's spouse said at dinner last night
- Your design system has gone through 8 rebrands and 4 complete overhauls. The only consistent thing is your declining mental health.
- Marketing: "Just make it pop more and I can increase conversions by 300%." Also Marketing: Never provides actual copy or real content.
- Data team: "Show me the A/B test results for this pixel change." Also Data team: "No, we can't track the thing you actually want to measure."
- Every designer: "Our users need a clean, intuitive experience." Every product: Same exact design trending on X.
- Executive: "We need to be more user-centric." Same executive: Still hasn't used the product since the beta version from 2019.
Hug a designer, we're definitely not okay :)
Cómo ofender a un Latinoamericano:
Dile que disfrutaste su ciudad, te pareció segura y que no viste crimen cómo te advirtieron.
Indignado, te contará cómo no fuiste al lugar correcto, en la hora exacta, para que te apuñalen.
Aplica a todas las ciudades latinas.
@danmall With one exception, I’ve always just put windfall cash into some sort of locked-away investment. I didn’t have the cash yesterday; I’ll be fine ‘without it’ tomorrow.
Tengo mucha gratitud por lo privilegiados qué somos en tech.
Es fácil de olvidar lo FÁCIL que la tenemos, incluso en momentos difíciles.

Last year, I helped build and scale a new Design team in the Canadian government under very scrappy conditions.
7 understatements I learned by doing design together 🧶:
1. The design process rarely feels structured, or finished.
Spoiler alert: AI isn't going to take your design job.
But there's one company that's sitting on a hidden mountain of data that could radically change the way products are designed. The rest are likely vaporware or toys.
Here's my prediction 👇
Sometimes "good design" is just someone spending more time on something than anyone else might reasonably expect.
This quote is stolen from Pen & Teller in regards to "magic"
But there is profound truth in this whether it's design, magic, relationships, health, etc.
Holistic ✨
✨ Related to or concerned with wholes or complete systems rather than with the analysis of, treatment of, or dissection into parts.
✨ Characterized by the belief that the parts of something are interconnected and can be explained only by reference to the whole.
Transparency wins in UX. Blinkist implemented the updates on the right and saw:
- 23% more trial signups
- 55% fewer customer complaints
- increased push notification opt-ins from 6 to 74%
Nice work @tooaverage 👏👏👏
I spend every day obsessing over how designers can learn and grow...
And now I get to teach alongside people I've looked up to for years 🤯
I'm beyond excited to officially launch @joindiveclub — where the best designers never stop learning.
Here's the vision for the future👇
