I’ll say the thing no one is saying: design culture is broken in lots of companies. Often design teams & designers are the most resistant to change org in the EPD triad, with highly vocal AI opponents, and little skill or interest in the art of campaigning for influence or resources. Won’t hold a number like a PM, not yelled at about timelines like engineering. While I have brought design topics to the board convo, not a single board has pressed me our design talent, strategy, or velocity. Most teams treat design like a tax they don’t want to pay, and those that *do* take a deep interest and want to invest in design get back big “get out of my figma” energy. And if you’re too precious about craft to dirty your hands with the dark art of corporate politics, good luck getting more headcount. If a PM or engineer can get 85% there with tailwind and a dream, you better come to the table with more than “I represent the user.” Great designers are worth more than almost anyone on the team, and I’ve worked with lots of gems, but this is 0% surprising to me.

Wake up, designers. While jobs across other functions are surging through the AI transition, design roles are stagnant. Don’t take refuge in craft and taste. All members of technical staff must demonstrate newfound productivity. If that’s a topic you’ve avoided because it involves shipping or knowing your business model inside-out, you will struggle to make the case for your own field. When designers can’t articulate their company strategy, it’s usually because they are neither its authors nor its executors. Seeking new leverage is no longer optional.

John Gerrard's "Western Flag" is probably the most relevant work of art right now.

In 1933, visionary choreographer Busby Berkeley stunned audiences with one of the most spectacular musical sequences ever filmed in the classic pre-Code movie Footlight Parade.

Design Tank Episode 5: A room full of ideas, questions, and curiosity ✨ Last Saturday, we spent the day diving deep into the realities of the craft, portfolios, and career paths. In a room full of hungry designers and never-ending questions, it’s clear that our role is shifting, and our responsibility as a community is evolving. We’re not just learning craft anymore, we’re figuring out how to navigate a new reality that demands strategic thinking, systems thinking, and adaptability. This wouldn’t have been possible without all of you: --- 🙌 Our mentors - @hvpandya, Senthilnathan Shanmugam, @someaire and Meghna Raghunathan. Thank you for being so generous with your perspective.

"Were you nervous having Sam Altman on the podcast?" "No, he's my brother" 💀

Did not expect a question that starts out 'Do you think before you speak?' to go so well. A+ question from Charlotte Harpur A++ response from Eileen Gu.

This is so hilarious. Nothing can make Sam and Dario hold hands, not even the Prime Minister of India!
