How to influence the product roadmap as a product designer

Shift the focus to user outcomes, connect qualitative insights to quantitative data, and get familiar with prioritisation frameworks — As a product designer, I love discussing product strategy and contributing to the product roadmap. That’s because by doing so, I’m keeping users at the centre of the product development process. I’ll also have a greater say about what I do throughout the year, which gives me a sense of…

How Do You React When Someone Who Ghosted You Commits Suicide?

The anger I felt before has turned into confusion as I attempt to grieve something I never really had — We met three years ago through a theater project.

All of 2017's flagship phones have glaring compromises. Here’s what they tell us about design.

On September 12th, Tim Cook unveiled the iPhone X. The 10-year anniversary iPhone sports a “bezel-less” 5.8 inch screen in a beautiful new design. It features a new facial recognition technology called Face ID, which uses 3D imaging and infrared, meaning it can be used in the dark and is…
