    Jason Yuan - Going beyond craft to design with soul

    I remember the exact moment where I first explored MercuryOS. It was clear Jason Yuan was one of the most skilled design thinkers I'd ever encountered. No wonder he landed a role designing AI products at Apple shortly after. But the main reason I wanted to interview him was to learn more about his new product called Dot. It's by far my favorite personal AI and a beautifully designed experience. So this conversation is a behind-the-scenes of his latest journey and a fun glimpse at what the future might hold for software products. We go deep into: What it looks like to design with soulWhat makes Jason’s design process uniqueWhy Jason left Apple to build New ComputerHow Dot is the spiritual successor to MercuryOSHow more designers need to become AI engineersWhy Jason thinks dynamic interfaces are over-hypedHow to design a product based on one magical interactionWhat Jason learned about storytelling from his background in theatrea lot more Download Dot or check out the websiteJason's original MercuryOS projectThe original Dot website featuring Mei’s story (from the Wayback machine so give it a minute to load)Jason references Shigeru Miyamoto (the creator of Super Mario Bros)

    Mariana Castilho - Evolving from designer to builder

    Mariana Castilho has one of the most impressive career trajectories of any designer I’ve ever met. I first saw her while mentoring through Shift Nudge and within a few years she’s landed roles at Universe, Vercel, and most recently as the first designer at Pierre. One of the keys to her growth has been investing in her skills as an engineer. So a big part of this interview is learning what it takes to transition from designer to builder. Some highlights: The future of design engineeringWhat makes designing dev tools uniqueHow Mariana has grown as a visual designerWhat it’s like working with design celebritiesWhat it means to care deeply about implementationHow she finally succeeded her 3rd time learning to codeHow teams like Vercel consistently hit a high bar for crafta lot more Save $200 and join me in enrolling for UI Engineering 101 for designersMariana’s component library UI LabsMariana led the original design for v0 by VercelVercel’s Geist Design System

    Janum Trivedi - What makes a software product feel great

    This week’s episode is with Janum Trivedi who makes some of the most stunning prototypes in all of design. So the main goal of this conversation is to answer the question “what makes a piece of software feel great?” Some of the key talking points: The 3 levels of animationShipping a major refresh of the Netflix iOS appWhy shaders are a big deal (and how they work)How Janum built the download animation for ArcWhy Janum built his own animation engine (Wave)Learning the principles of fluid design working on the iPad pointera lot more Check out Janum’s demos on his website2018 WWDC talk “Designing fluid interfaces”The Book of Shaders websiteDisney’s 12 principles of animation

    Ben Blumenrose - Investing in the next wave of design founders

    Ben Blumenrose was one of the earliest designers at Facebook and has spent the last 12 years as a co-founder and Managing Partner of Designer Fund. That’s allowed him to invest in many of the design founders that you’ve heard from on this shown (like Jorn from Framer or Colin from Visual Electric). So the goal of this conversation is to tap into Ben’s perspective as a designer turned investor. This episode creates a blueprint for people interested in designing for startups or maybe even building a company of your own. Some highlights: The story of investing in FramerHow second-time founders think differentlyUnderstanding your gaps as a design founderWhat it looks like to truly act as an owner at a startupWhat Ben looks for when investing in design foundersWhat types of market opportunities Ben is most excited aboutHow Ben transformed customer support in his first month at FBThe things you should be learning on the job before launching a startupa lot more Apply for the Designer Fund Partnership program

    Henry Modisett - Designing a unicorn AI startup from nothing

    Imagine leading the design of an AI product that skyrockets to a billion+ dollar valuation in under two years… That’s the story of Perplexity and today we get to hear from their founding designer and current Head of Design, Henry Modisett. Some of the highlights from this conversation: What it takes to thrive as a founding designerWhy Henry likes hiring designers who can codeThe challenges of designing dynamic interfacesWhy Henry didn’t want to anthropomorphize the AIThe initial creative direction for the Perplexity brandThe keys to making a consumer product cognitively fastWhy Henry built a mini design system as his very first stepa lot more SHOW NOTES Ivan (CEO of Notion)’s tweet about not having a design systemPerplexity’s incredible brand designer named PhiWe talked about how booking.com is a masterclass in optimizing UI KEY TAKEAWAYS Starting with a design system Before Henry had any idea what the Perplexity product would become, he built a component system in React as the first step. The goal was to give himself a toolbox to make it easy to assemble new features. Many components are obvious (ex: you know you’ll need a grid, type system, color system, buttons, etc.). We don’t have to overcomplicate design systems. They’re the thing you invest in to move fast… not the thing you invest in once you have most of the interface figured out. Empowerment through code When you write code, you develop a stronger emotional attachment to the product. You’re also empowered to continually make improvements without having to go through engineers. The more removed you are from what ships, the easier it is to dish blame on someone else for an experience being janky. “Having designers that can code is a hack…quality just happens” Velocity is everything Henry makes a point to prioritize velocity over exploration, debate, visual design, etc. And a big part of what makes that possible is empowering designers to make decisions. If it’s a UX question, the designer needs to make a call (”go with your gut and if you want to change it later you can”). This is also why having designers who can code is key. Nothing is cemented. You don’t need permission to iterate after something ships. Dynamic UI systems At the root of Perplexity are UI systems that display dynamic content based on what the user searches. That means as a designer you can’t possibly mock up all use cases. You have to think about interfaces as slightly abstracted (ex: “entity comparison” which can work for comparing dog breeds, restaurants, etc.). Part of designing a dynamic system is you have to be ok with percentage outcomes. Sometimes the formatting isn’t going to be perfect. You’re designing the system, giving AI the tools to use, and hoping that it works most of the time.
