Inside how Stripe crafts quality products from Katie Dill (Stripe's Head of Design):

"Beauty can elevate utility and usability.
Beauty can attract users to your product and motivate them to try it earnestly. If users have to jump through hoops to get the utility, they might never reach the magic moment."

"Even the best builders can make wrong decisions and assumptions. So we practice continually showing things to users, getting feedback, and iterating, sometimes in less than 24-hour cycles. This has been key to Stripe's success."

"We try to minimize “presentationing” and the "let me tell you the story" narrative as much as possible. We like reviews where we just jump into the prototype to see and feel it from the user's perspective."

@lil_dill is one of the most influential design leaders in tech, and I think everyone can learn from Stripe's obsession with craft and users.

Dove released a generative AI prompt playbook that outlines methods of creating humane and inclusive beauty when generating AI imagery. This is very forward brand thinking. https://t.co/Adn9S6ngcA

Breaking all the rules - and isn’t it wonderful

[Felix Lee @felixleezd]

Design is overrated by designers.

This hard truth is 90% of designers are failed by the existing design education—design is more than just Figma, tools or processes you learn, or think you know. I interviewed Don Norman in an honest conversation (that has now gone viral).

It's a fallacy that designers only need to focus on design; business knowledge is too important.

Don discussed with me:

Design education needs to change to focus on broader skills and design thinking, they often lack the understanding of how the world works and are only trained with an art basis.

Understanding business operations and economics is crucial for making a difference in the world.

What are your 2c on this?

Airbnb cofounder Brian Chesky on how to design a product for a million people

“How do you make something for a million people? I don’t know where to start. But if you pick one person, study them, and take their journey, you can actually build something really personal. You can design something and keep iterating until they love it. Don’t stop improving it until that person loves it, and you’re not allowed to move to the second person until the first person loves it. Then you get the second person and keep iterating until they love it. And so on.”

Trying something new. Templated my Receipt category google sheet to help breakdown any multi-category receipts.

I'd like to thank my @costcocanada receipts for the inspiration here.

My friend got these very minimal sketches from an interior designer / architect

I put them in Interior AI v2 and got these renders back

Didn't think it'd work with such minimal sketches

Do you look at your to-do list as an obligation, or as an opportunity?

Maybe it's time to reframe your thinking
