Product Design at @sublime_sec. I'm a product designer, founder (post-exit), writer, and speaker with 15+ years designing and scaling products.

I'm finally launching my newsletter!

I don't write often, but when I do, I try to pack it with value.

So if you want an every-once-in-awhile thoughtful note about design and business - dig in!

First one will go out in a couple days, and I'd be honored if you'd tune in!

@OmarJalalzada Elite memery!

@DmitryKurash @itspatmorgan @krispuckett @emilkowalski @OmarJalalzada I’m still holding the low follower count down for you! 🫡 😆

[Joe Salowitz @JoeSalowitz]

@TheSeanGoodwin Glad you like it Sean!

Now AI can model my voice I guess 😆

[Joe Salowitz @JoeSalowitz]

In an age when everything on the internet feels a little bit less human…

I thought I’d record myself reading my blogs to you.

Maybe that’s just one simple way I can make my writing feel just a little bit more human.

Plus my eyes are just tired.

@itspatmorgan @DmitryKurash @krispuckett @emilkowalski @OmarJalalzada Oh Dmitry and I go waaaaaay back!

[Joe Salowitz @JoeSalowitz]

Try it out on my most recent post about why design is NOT dead. https://t.co/AhxCmUXngv

@itspatmorgan @soleio Amazing! Congrats Pat! Never doubted it would be a rocket ship for a second!

[Joe Salowitz @JoeSalowitz]

@OmarJalalzada This is too cool Omar 😲

[Joe Salowitz @JoeSalowitz]

@OmarJalalzada Part of why I wrote this was triggered by this guy cloning Subvocal with a few prompts and an AirPod.

It’s easier than ever for anyone to create. So what differentiates design?

A prompt does not good design make.

@itspatmorgan Changing my LinkedIn from “Designer” to “Diamond Hands” right now

[Joe Salowitz @JoeSalowitz]

Figma is dead. Everyone can do design now. Agents are taking our jobs.

Meanwhile the double diamond still runs just fine...

[Joe Salowitz @JoeSalowitz]

Design is gonna be fine.

I wrote a few reasons why I think that: https://t.co/AJTeE7kTpy

[Joe Salowitz @JoeSalowitz]

We’re quickly entering a world where the only moat is distribution.

[Joe Salowitz @JoeSalowitz]

This isn’t just some little side project y’all - we have essentially replaced Figma with this at Sublime.

I highly recommend trying it out for your own workflow.

[Patrick Morgan @itspatmorgan]

I built my team an AI design sandbox. Now I’m open-sourcing a better version for everyone.

This is Design Studio, a prototype sandbox for designers and product managers who build with AI.

After I showed the original to @ridd_design on Dive Club, people asked for a version they could use themselves. That gave me the push to rebuild it from scratch.

The core workflows:
• Build interactive screens with the coding agent you already use
• Map flows with diagrams, sketch on a canvas, or make lo-fi wireframes
• Keep briefs and decisions next to designs in Markdown
• Create design systems with components and product context to reuse across prototypes
• Arrange screens and notes on a canvas, then publish a link your team can explore

The video shows Codex self-driving a whole workflow.

Use it with Codex, Claude Code, or Cursor. It’s minimal and meant to blend in with your existing stack.

It’s MIT licensed and built to be extended. Add your own tools, components, and workflows. Your files stay yours in open formats that can be used anywhere.

It’s an early beta. I’d love for you to try it and make it your own.

[Joe Salowitz @JoeSalowitz]

@itspatmorgan Amazing! Leave it to the designer to use the wrong GitHub terminology 🤦‍♂️

[Joe Salowitz @JoeSalowitz]

@humrashid Yaaah! Congrats Hum - what an accomplishment!

[Joe Salowitz @JoeSalowitz]

@OmarJalalzada Inb4 the “Designers need to learn how to code” crowd.

More like “designers need to learn how to Claude” 💡

[Joe Salowitz @JoeSalowitz]

@humrashid Good luck Hum! You’ve got this!!
