How I Think
-
01Great products are designed long before the first screens
//The UI is rarely the hard part
//The hard work happens before Figma opens
//When teams align around the right problem, the path ahead becomes clearer
-
02Simplicity is earned
//Complexity is easy
//Anybody can add a feature
//It takes discipline to remove
-
03A.I. accelerates execution
//A.I. also speeds creation
//Judgment, curiosity, and taste remain deeply human though
//The real advantage today is knowing what to create
-
04Principles are the product
//Solve the right problem
//Customers don't care about org charts
//Systems beat one-offs
//Trust stacks upon itself
//Design guides clarity
//Clarity drives progress
