Guardian of an Intent. Product leadership. UX. Content design. Product marketing. Systems thinking and civic tech. Founder UX conference: http://outcomeconf.com

At the early stage of any work, I am most curious about:

—Why we work—why an org exists, how they hire, why they work
—What are their operating principles if any, for what goals
—What those goals mean to different people, functions, and segments
—What happens to our work after we quit a product or org? Who cares?

Product managementAll things product management for business design, org design, and technology design.
UXUser experience, interactions, design
System thinkingA systems perspective into how we plan our digital products for team design, alignment and incentives, leadership and standards, frameworks and models, and the foundations of designing scalable products
Content strategyContent strategy, content design, UX writing, and content-driven design for operations and supply chain.

I rarely watch or listen to podcasts because most often, the host is focused on the podcast itself, and not much on the guest. They are immediately thinking of the conversation choreography, the next question, and how to continue sense-making for the audience to make it more useful for the audience. In the process, they lose the focus on the message and on the guest. We can see it on the host's face and in their eyes.

Design is not hard.

It confuses me when a designer says that design is hard.

Design can be hard in some ways. But so is sales. And marketing too. Ask a good user researcher if they find it easy? And if in doubt, ask a content designer or a product content strategist.

This is true for doctors as well. They are dealing with a life—and a network of lives. Likewise, for plumbers too for their own sets of challenges.

Design is not hard - Vinish Garg

It confuses me when a designer says that design is hard. By that logic, every practice including plumbing, trading, architecture, retail—everything is hard.

A linkless internet—In creating anonymous summaries, AI flattens out all the fascinating architecture of thought that makes the internet hum.

When we navigate the web via links, we are travelling through the series of connections made by someone else.
