I'm a fractional design and product partner. Founders hand me the problems that sit between brand and product, and I start on them within 48–72 hours. Positioning that stopped fitting after a pivot. A UI that's costing enterprise deals. A launch that needs a site, a deck and a working product at the same time. I embed with your team, usually in your Slack. Unlimited requests within scope on a monthly retainer. I was Director of Product Design at Wealthsimple before this, and I lead every engagement myself rather than routing work to juniors, which is why I take a deliberately small number of companies at a time. If you need one screen fixed, hire a freelancer. If design has become a permanent full-time function with a team to manage, hire in-house. I'm the right call when you need senior design decisions now and can't wait out a hire. gev.design

I took my laptop on a two-and-a-half-week road trip with my family because I assumed I’d need it. I didn't open it once. Gev Marotz interviewed me about how NOOON got there, and most of the answer includes all the mistakes I made the first time around.

A truth I've come to know over the last year. Was reminded of this slide from my config talk by a great post from @gevdesign on linkedin. Marketing design is sales, and the way you pitch is through controlling visual perception.

Every time I hear ‘we don’t have a design leader,’ a part of me dies. And another part sends a proposal.

Future historians will study our @SlackHQ messages and @NotionHQ docs like lost artifacts of a civilization that never learned to organize itself.

If you are using AI and want actual conversations, you need to stop sounding like a chatbot trapped in a time loop. #ai #sales #marketing

Yes, the coveted Sr. Product Designer title a true mark of power, respect, and an exponential rise in pointless meetings. #DesignLife #ProductDesign #LivingTheDream
