Nobody talks about the balance between UX and conversion optimization.
But both your website AND your product should juggle both.
How do you do it?
You start by understanding that at the heart of your design process there should always be respect for your users.

[Free course] Forget about aimless meetings and circular discussions. A solid design brief brings focus, alignment, and clarity—right from the start of your project: balsamiq.com/learn/courses/r…

We need a little assistance with a @userlist article. ✨
We're looking for year-in-review email examples from SaaS companies. They can be roundups of:
✔ annual accomplishments of the company
✔ improvement of their product
✔ the activities of their users using that product

Sketches show us how messy the creative process really is. You need to explore. You need to goof around. You need to postpone the self-criticism. The worst thing you can do as a creator is compare your initial draft to somebody's final one.

I got featured in this blog post alongside Jakob Nielsen, Julie Zhuo and Jesse James Garrett.
This is perfect for my big head.
Plus I can now pop “INFLUENCER” in my bio.

"To see how it feels" is one of the best reasons to prototype, IMO.
Too often we make prototypes without examining our reason for making them. Let's not do it just because we think that we need to or because that's what our tools guide us toward.

Word of the day is ‘phrontistery’ (17th century): a place to withdraw to for thinking or contemplation.
If no phrontistery is available, then to ‘latibulate’ is to find a corner and hide in it.

@ellenchisa @lissijean @leonbarnard Thanks for that amazing Product Thinking episode - especially Ellen's anecdote from Kickstarter activity feed.
I listened yesterday and am immediately using what I learned to bring a different type of mockup to user testing conversations.
