👋 Design Twitter, recently I started researching and saving design books written by women and people of color.

It has grown into a collection that also includes books about research and content strategy.

We’ve been stealthily testing a FREE new product, and today is launch day! 🚀

⚡️ Introducing Lightning Lessons on Maven: 30 min expert-led deep dives on today’s most relevant topics.

The world changes fast. Social media gives you quick insights into "what" is changing but you can't learn "how" to use it in 280 characters.

Lightning Lessons go deeper: learn about today's most interesting insights and innovations directly from operators on the cutting edge.

Imagine if you could learn from...

🤖 Siqi Chen, founder of Runway, on “Practical AI Prompt Engineering with No Code”

❤️ Julie Zhuo, author of Making of a Manager, explaining “How to Give Feedback”

🤑 Sahil Lavingia, founder of Gumroad, teaching “How to Get a Remote Job that Pays $200/hr”

📈 Amanda Natividad, VP Marketing at SparkToro, sharing “The Art of Zero-Click Content”

The world’s top tech and business experts already teach in-depth courses on Maven. Now they also offer shorter, 30-min Lightning Lessons. Absolutely free.

We're launching with 40 incredible lessons across AI, design, product, engineering, and business. Check out Lightning Lessons at https://t.co/6QiOB8KZ42

That was my experience with @theyuanstudio!

Excited for more people to get the opportunity to learn from her 👇
