Wrapping up my 2025 retro.

Side projects kept me exploring new ideas & tech. This year I worked on Perssua, WriteSuit & Lights Out. Each pushed me out of my comfort zone.

Big thanks to @lucas_montano, @filipealva & @bguidolim

This project is amazing! The whole world should know about it! Let’s get it into the TOP 5 on @ProductHunt! 🚀

[montano @lucas_montano]

Today I'm launching Perssua on Product Hunt!

Right now we're in the #172 position, can you help me get to TOP #100?

I've been hiring designers for years and still struggle to find great ones.

If I'm having trouble, imagine what founders are going through.

Founders hire based on all the wrong signals.

- Designer has 50K followers? Must be good.
- Their posts get thousands of likes? Hired.
- Portfolio looks trendy? Perfect fit.

Three months later:

- Can't design a coherent flow
- Doesn't understand conversion
- Needs hand-holding on every decision

The disconnect is painful to watch, and expensive to correct.

A designer's follower count tells you nothing about their ability to:

- Understand product constraints
- Make hard tradeoffs
- Design for real user behavior
- Ship under pressure

I've worked with designers who have massive audiences and can't design a functional signup flow.

The algorithm rewards the wrong thing. And founders pay for it.
If you're hiring, ignore the noise. Look for:

- Clear thinking in their case studies
- Evidence of shipping real products
- Understanding of business outcomes
- Ability to articulate design decisions

Popularity ≠ capability.
