Valentina Ferretti

Product Designer

I build products that make people's lives easier.
Same for you? Let's connect!

[Valentina Ferretti @VandEffe]

Ok. You won.

[Valentina Ferretti @VandEffe]

I believe it's for the better: there's still so much we can do to make people's lives easier.

Paper Builder sits in that shift: reducing friction and making it easier to go from idea to product.

I won 3rd place in the @paper challenge on @contra, out of 500+ participants!

Design has become the bottleneck, while tools, workflows, and how we build are changing so fast.

I've just submitted the @paper x @contra challenge.

One of my favourite side products so far:

What if your team could design, iterate, and deploy entire products without ever leaving a @SlackHQ thread?

👉 That's Paper Builder.

At a @NotionHQ offsite, designers had to pick two random features.

30 minutes to combine them into a working prototype.

The results: high-fidelity, animations, production assets of a mind-blowing quality.

Constant reminder: ship fast, raise your bar.

For product-obsessed people:

if you haven't watched @joindiveclub by @ridd_design, do yourself a favour and start now.

Why? Here the reasons:

1. Michael interviews product people you actually want to hear from. And asks the questions you've been craving answers to.

2. It's a window into how 10x product people are surfing the same tsunami of new tools and workflows we're all trying to ride.

3. You can grasp how top-tier teams work behind the scenes. Genuinely useful for keeping your bar high.

Fun fact from the @brian_lovin episode:

@paper @contra @SlackHQ It follows your team's conversation, generates the product you're envisioning on Paper, and deploys it on @vercel

Directly in the Slack channel.

Been playing with @paper lately --> love at first sight.

Here I've stressed out @polarsteps's logo (my favourite app right now ❤️).

Both DEFINITELY worth a look.

[Valentina Ferretti @VandEffe]

@vincentelifani When those moments happen, I find myself thinking about Steve Jobs' quote: "you can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards."
Probably because it satisfies the urge to make sense of why it happened.

[Valentina Ferretti @VandEffe]

@noondesign @Spotify it definitely influences your mood

The score is based on public store data and combines adoption + growth.

Free beta.

Try it. Break it. Tell me what's missing.

[Valentina Ferretti @VandEffe]

I built a score layer for @mobbin so it doesn't turn into Dribbble 2.0

I ❤️ Mobbin, but beautiful apps aren't enough.

If I'm taking inspiration from a product, I need proof it's working.
