My new book "The Path to Senior Product Design" is out
Today I'm launching my new book The Path to Senior Product Designer 🎉
How can I grow as a designer?
What skills should I be improving?
How do I practically improve my skills?
What is the definition of a Mid/Senior/Lead designer?
How do I get promoted?
I've taken 7 months to answer these questions in the most actionable way in my new book.
I researched how 50+ companies evaluate designers and employees, including Etsy, Medium, Dropbox, Square, Figma, Zendesk, and Intercom.
While today design resources are biased towards craft — Figma, design systems, tooling — these are only a fraction of what companies look for in designers.
In my book, I present actionable frameworks and tactics on 12 competencies top companies require designers to have, like mentoring, giving feedback, presenting design, communicating effectively, improving processes, etc.
This book is the most challenging project I've worked on. If you've found my first book Solving Product Design Exercises useful, you may find this book even more valuable.
