    Welcome

    Welcome to better design feedback! This is a free course for designers, engineers, product people. We all know we should solicit feedback. But sometimes it can feel hard. This course came about as I was hanging out with a bunch of designers from Automattic. As we were talking throughout the week at a meetup, ways […]

    Be curious

    If I had to boil this course down to a single phrase, it’s: Be curious. As the designer. You don’t just design pretty things. You’re like good scientist, always experimenting and searching for new ideas. You’re like a psychologist, understanding how people think, act, and feel.

This is equally a shame in my mind. Gathering […]

    Multi-stage feedback

    It’s helpful if you gather feedback at each stage of the design process: The secret is to find ways to layer feedback in at each stage. And if you’re able to do this, then you’ll drastically increase your odds of getting to clarity.

    Multi-layered feedback

    Layering your feedback at each stage can help you get to clarity as quickly as possible. A common pitfall that I see. Is that designers find one or two techniques that they fall in love with? And they just stick with those two techniques. In this course, you’ll learn dozens of techniques that you can […]

    Be specific

    Whenever you’re asking for feedback, it’s good to be as specific as possible about the type of feedback that you want. This can save other people time and it can help avoid having rabbit hole discussions about things that you’re not ready to focus on yet. Depending on the stage that you’re at with your […]
