I've been so eager to share this interview since the second we hung up.

The show is called Dive Club and boy did we dive deep. We covered a ton of ground and fired off more than a few hot takes. Chara had some great metaphors and I moved around a lot.

One of my favorite threads on Twitter right now comes from the co-founder of Intercom.

It's a list of new UI patterns that generative AI necessitates

It's so good that I asked him if I could turn it into an article to share outside of Twitter 👇

This design is embarrassing for me to look at nowadays...

But it changed everything for me (and might help you too) 👇

As code becomes cheaper and easier to write, an explosion of niche products is imminent.

Old-world economics have capped artistic expression in software

if you’re going to invest the time to build something then it better make money and have the potential to scale.

But that's about to change...

I think my favorite designer to follow in 2024 was Sam Peitz

He shares some of the most unique designs you'll find anywhere 😮

So this week I did a deep dive into his creative process and what it takes to bring his experiments to life 👇

Did you know the 1st interface designer at Adobe was also the 1st designer to work on Figma? 🤯

His name is Andrei and he knows a heck of a lot about design tooling...

So this week's episode is jam-packed with stories and thoughts on where we're headed next👇

I've interviewed the first designers at Linear, Perplexity, Ramp, Facebook, Browser Company, etc...

Here's what I've learned about how to thrive as a startup designer 👇

Imagine joining a startup as the 2nd designer...

Then within a few years you're the VP of Design at the fastest growing company ever 😮

That's the story for Diego Zaks and this week's episode is a deep dive into design at Ramp 👇

Say you're leading the design of a complex project...

How do you attack that ambiguity and get momentum on your ideas?

There are very few companies that can do it like Perplexity there are even fewer people who can design like Phi.

Absolutely wonderful episode of dive club with Phi. Worth the listen because he's a marvel.

2024 is the year Perplexity's brand took over the design community 💫

And their designer Phi Hoang is a BIG reason why...

So I did a deep dive into his creative process and the ways he gets the most out of AI tools 👇

You can create the best designs in the world but if they don't ship who cares 🤷‍♂️

That's why I've been studying storytelling tactics used by the best designers

Turned my favorites into a ~10 min masterclass 🎓

It's time to rethink design systems...

Somehow they've become synonymous with scale 🤔

That's why I'm fascinated by seeing how startups like Perplexity and Cron approached them in the very early days 👇
