What I learned at Facebook:
• It’s not enough to have an idea, you need to execute
• “Perfect” execution debugs the plan
What I learned at OpenStore:

• How you tell the story is everything

One of my fav takeaway from

’s talk: Design is not just realizing INTENT (which is internal to the business, i.e. the company mission)... but realizing the INTENDED IMPACT (which is external to the company & felt in the world). Intent is not enough!

Being able to remove buttons / UI elements I don’t use on any website is pretty cool.
I love playing in Inspect and sometimes wished my changes stuck — looks like this does that?
as someone who can’t code, i’ve always felt like I live in someone else’s internet
it has been a lifelong dream to give people, like me, the tools to make the internet feel like it was made for them

Every designer hates Growth Design.
But honestly, it's where I grew the most and honed some really sharp skills that set me apart from my peers.
Would 💯 recommend a stint in a Growth org to everyone. (Just understand what you're taking away from it + lean into that)
What’s a strong opinion about design that very few people agree with you on?

If comp & career growth are important to you for your next role, then the network you’ll build should be too
The people I met and worked with on the early Uber Eats team later founded startups like Modern Fertility, Magic Eden, Cider; were early teams at Faire, Opendoor; etc

You develop taste by producing a large volume of work and figuring out what works, what doesn't.
The faster you create, the faster you develop taste.
same! this next era of creative tools help creative pros explore far more possibilities and find better solutions faster, and they raise creative confidence for everyone else.

When I go outside it’s to be outside (and not on my phone). So looking dorky in public is not my concern.
But designing off of a ginormous monitor and watching BIG tv are killer enough use cases for me.
Apple makes the best devices, and this would replace several for me.

ICs don't hate meetings, they hate wasting their time
And if you're constantly dominating the mic, you better hope your signal:noise ratio is high
There is nothing more soul-crushing than being held prisoner by someone who rambles...

Yesterday, we got on a call with a founder whose Shopify business we recently acquired.
She shared her vision for the brand and the unbelievable journey as the business went from "Can I make it work?" ➡️ "I made it. Will people like it?" ➡️ "People love it. Can I scale it?"
OpenStore has raised $75 million in a Series B, tripling the Shopify merchant acquirer’s valuation to $750 million in just 5 months.
The Miami-based startup led by

So rad.
I really wish I had these tools growing up. I'm thinking of middle-school-me who used to make fake movie & kdrama posters (lol.......)
All the ways I got to express my creativity as a kid keeps paying dividends even now. Imagine how much more with tools like this!

- Slides are an aid; they “support and enlarge the meaning of the speech”
- Which requires that your speech is meaningful to begin with
- Which requires you to get crisp on the point you want to get across
More practically: Write out your script before you start the slides
