Some of my favorite insights:
🎨 Balancing new AI tools with timeless design principles
⚖️ How to decide which new tech is worth adopting (and which to skip)
🤝 Building strong collaboration between designers, PMs, and engineers
🔑 Keeping users at the center, even as tech reshapes the process

Sylvia shares what it’s like to design at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and collaboration while navigating the flood of new tools without losing sight of what matters most: the people you're designing for.

Design great loading states: what items should my skeleton display? | Tech Takes

We break down the edges of the skeleton pattern, why “designing for max states” matters, and how designers can push creativity without losing sight of what’s technically possible.
September 23, 2025 at 10:21 PM
It's often where design intent meets dev reality. Miss the mark, and the product feels clunky or broken. Nail it, and even a 10-second wait feels intentional.
September 23, 2025 at 10:21 PM
Skeleton loaders, spinners, previews… they aren’t just filler. They’re the direct translation of how data flows, how fast systems respond, and how dev decisions surface to the user.

We have a couple of incredible conversations lined up already that I can’t wait to share, and we’re looking for more! So, if you’re a product designer, please reach out! We’d love to have you on the show.

Looking forward, I’m so incredibly excited to be kicking off season two! This season, we're going to focus a little bit more on product designers - specifically, how they're leveraging technology and coding skills to do their jobs better, faster, and smarter than ever before.
September 16, 2025 at 1:00 PM
It feels like every product conversation these days is hyper-focused on one discipline, and it was so refreshing to hear everyone share how they connect the dots between different roles and job titles, and what it actually takes to build incredible products.

👉 If you’ve ever wondered how product management changes when you go from a 30-person startup to one of the biggest companies in the world, you won’t want to miss this episode.

Selling optimism and other lessons from being a Microsoft product manager - Adam Wilson

Adam also shared how his technical background has been a superpower. Early in his career, he was writing code to replicate customer bugs. Today, that fluency lets him navigate Microsoft’s most complex products and collaborate deeply with engineering teams.
September 2, 2025 at 1:04 PM
At a startup, a PM’s ideas can become the roadmap by default. At Microsoft, Adam is one of 10,000 product managers competing to influence priorities. That means the real job isn’t just writing PRDs--it’s selling optimism, generating buy-in, and aligning entire orgs across multiple leadership chains.
