Design isn’t a team here at @headout. It’s the environment!

A love so deep they made it official with their kids name: Lovedeep.

Uber sent me a push notification to rate the driver. The notification showed only 4 stars. Naturally, I tapped the last star thinking I was giving 5. Turns out I had just rated my driver 4. My driver lost a star. Somewhere: Uber PM: "Why have 5 star ratings suddenly dropped by 20%?" 💀

That’s a valid one, this is actually doable to some extent, but you have to be intentional about how you show your work. A few things that could help, - Don’t just show final screens, instead show how you built reusable patterns or systems behind them. - Talk about trade-offs you made (speed vs quality, depth vs scope) - Highlight places where you shipped fast without creating long-term mess - Show consistency across multiple flows and not just one polished case study Basically: don’t just show what you designed, show how you think + how you scale + how you move.

@RamaKrishnaUX i resonate w the split. I think I'm in the 4th bucket, but it's hard to capture it in hiring contexts. any thoughts on how to capture oneself better if you're in the 4th category ? or is it mostly through referrals ?

I have been seeing four types of designers lately.. Pixel perfect, but zero context Great taste, but poor systems Data driven, but low intuition Super rare: taste + systems + speed Most hiring loops are designed to detect 1 and 3. That’s why 4th is so rare I feel. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@thevaibhavme It’s usually someone who has a really good eye, good usage of colors, spacing, polish, etc but doesn’t think in components, patterns, or reusing those across different parts of the product. So the work looks great… but only until the product grows.

@RamaKrishnaUX What does "Great taste, poor systems" means? Btw, you very beautifully summed up the entire hiring scenario these days :)

Becoz these spaces do half the thinking for you.

Design isn’t a team here at @headout. It’s the environment!

Looking for a brand designer (or studio) to help shape something ambitious from the ground up. High bar on taste, craft, and systems thinking, not just logos. If you’ve seen or worked with someone exceptional, would love recommendations. Portfolio links appreciated. 🤞

Contributing to the company repo consistently has been such a satisfying journey! Watching progress unfold one commit at a time. 🥳

@harshactually @headout Sure, will share the link to invite folks here soon.

@RamaKrishnaUX @headout Let me see that in person?

Welcome to @headout's new HQ in BLR! We didn’t just build an office, we built a Museum of the World, a space that celebrates the places we love and the adventures we’re creating. It’s got soul, it’s got heart, and it’s got room for YOU. We’re hiring. Come build with us!

@dharmeshba @spc_india Congratulations Ba, Looking forward to this, count me in! Would love to try this for @headout

I’ve joined @spc_india to explore where AI is headed in Consumer Research. Over the next six months, I’m building a few products designed to make user interviews and surveys faster, cheaper, and more reliable - especially when you’re trying to learn from non-users, not just power users. If you’re currently struggling to get quality insights, recruit the right participants, or move from “data” to real decisions, I’d love to have you pressure-test what I’m building. I'm looking for design partners. Grateful to @prateekmehta42 and @ankitcc for the opportunity to be part of this community. Lets go 🚀 🚀🚀

@huge_icons could you please consider reworking your car, binoculars and headphones icon?

Proof that detours sometimes lead to the most beautiful places 🥹

@huge_icons Nice, The car icon from the set also needs an upgrade I feel

New look, same purpose. - Our Briefcase icon just got a small refresh. Thoughts?

@kur_ankur @vaibhavpant_ @screenstudio Nice work! Have you checked this out by Manik? figma.com/community/plug…

We’ve (@vaibhavpant_ & I) been building something tiny — but super useful: a Figma plugin called Flicker ⚡️
 It turns your UI into clean and cute skeleton loading states.
