We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

I think a conversation that might be largely missing in tech/design is brand strategy.

A lot of people reference brands they love, I hear it all the time: ‘we want to look and feel like apple, ramp, linear, stripe’ etc etc

Those brands are good because they found the brand qualities that are true to their ethos and amplified them through design.

Too many brands try to reference others in the design process rather than take a step back and find the qualities that are true to them.

People see something brilliant and say ‘I want something like that’ rather than ‘how do I make my thing brilliant?’

That’s how you build a brand that others will be referencing in the years to come.

75 years ago, my friend Ronald McNair was born.

Denied books as a child at his segregated South Carolina library, he later became the second Black American in space. And today, that library bears his name.

Happy Birthday, Ron. Your legacy continues to inspire us.

Early career advice from my father: “If you don’t do the small things well, they’ll never trust you to do the big things. Remember that. Everything you do matters—act accordingly.”

[Nikita Bier @nikitabier]

After advising 50+ consumer companies over the last year, the one thing that separates those who can execute and those who can't:

Having a full-time designer in the room at all times

I've met with countless companies that have raised millions—and even one that has raised billions—that do not even have a designer on payroll.

This makes product development broken:

1/ You simply cannot have constructive conversations about ideas without visualizing them in real-time
2/ Your experiments will frequently have inconclusive results because users cannot discover features or they misunderstand how they work
3/ There is no one who can galvanize the team with a vision of what the product could look and feel like

And to be abundantly clear: I'm not referring to visual UI or graphics. I'm talking about someone who can think through the fundamental building blocks of product comprehension—like navigation, interaction and copywriting—and is technically savvy enough to visualize those components in high resolution.

There can certainly be exceptions to not having a designer, like where the CEO is an exceptional visual thinker, but that does not scale beyond a small team.

At the end of day, products live and die in the pixels: it's what the users see and tap. And without someone shepherding that process, you are effectively wandering the desert blind.

A lot of your favorite R&B and Hip-Hop classics from the 90s and beyond exist because of this man right here.

This loss is HUGE.
