Working agency-side for so many years made me such a fast designer. Forced me to learn all the short-cuts, lean on my intuition and best practices.

Something I see designers struggle with is not being comfortable with their own point of view. It's ok to have an opinion. It's also ok if that opinion is later 'wrong' and you change your mind. I used to be diplomatic to a fault. People-pleasing. I could 'see both sides' of any discussion and it probably did me more harm than good. As soon as I started to be more decisive and firm with my pov, I was more respected in the workplace. Sound like you? It's totally normal to go through this, especially as designers who are balancing product, design, eng. requirements, copy, etc. Sign up to my workshop today: rethinkhq.com/programs/devel…

🧪How to measure experimentations? — from Notion AI engineer @thesephist For high variance, low structure experimentations, the artifact/measurement shouldn’t be code/releases But a map of explored space — checks and Xs of what works, what doesn’t Record the decisions, prototypes & docs that explore the problem/solution space. Thanks @RethinkTalks for hosting such an inspiring and intimate dinner

Crazy how you need to be exceptional, continuously promoted, at the top of your game, with multiple side-hustles to achieve the things your parents could do with a shoe salesman income.

Design reviews are broken. People bias one another, the first comment sets the tone for a critique, and one person in a position of authority can silence valid contrasting opinions from the rest of the team. We're fixing it — campsite.design/changelog/20…
