Watched a timely mr rogers episode with my daughter about learning from machines. His advice: we learn best from whose who care about us.🤯

Design at Ramp looks very different than it did a year ago but a few core things have not changed; the role of design is to distill problems to their essence, obsess over craft and delight where it matters most, know customers deeply and advocate for them, lead with creativity and storytelling, and keep it fun, because a product built with joy always wins.

I'm looking for a Director of Product Design to lead some of our highest-priority bets.

This role is for you if you’re excited by:

Leading through craft, setting vision and unlocking customer impact: you will define where a product should go, then jump into the details with the team to unblock, teach, and ship. You raise the bar through product judgment, design craft, and your ability to make everyone around you better.

Actually shipping and demonstrating real impact: You'll start by owning a product area and team to build trust and get your bearings at Ramp, with room to take on broader leadership over time. You'll stay close to customers and ship meaningful work alongside your designers, product managers and engineers.

Building the environment where great work comes from: clear roles, high standards, low ego, and just enough structure to keep the bar high without slowing people down. That means building a caring yet demanding structure, investing deeply in people — coaching, feedback, growth — so designers can do the best work of their careers and develop in this new age of Design.

It’s never been a more interesting time to build.

@chrisinchcom @Wealthsimple https://t.co/gmWFGwQd9b is hiring just about every position. It’s a pretty incredible company to work for. DM me if you’d like to know about working for a NY company. There’s a pretty healthy Canadian contingent already. 🇨🇦

Great article about designers developing a better understanding of AI and being able to work allong side it. 'The terrain is tricky. The future is uncertain. Exciting? Yes. Terrifying? Yes.' https://t.co/nQwMwGCmIV

My kids have developed a friendship with the pool cleaning robot on our vacation. It’s amazing how its random movements can be interpreted. I think we’re going to have complicated relationships with AI in the future. 🤖
