Hi Friend!
Back with a few new roles. For those of you who still spend time on these emails, I wanted to make a small change, I want to write more, short articles and thought pieces. Hope you like them, find them useful, and still stick around…

So let’s get started for this week.

“This is stupid. Let’s cut it.”

Have you ever said this? No? Then my friend, start. Cause…

Great design is just as much about removing as it is about adding! Remember that. Write it down. Memorize it.

Most design problems don’t come from a lack of creativity. They come from bad habits. From bloated workflows. From junk you should’ve killed months ago but never did.

Design isn’t about piling on more features, more pixels, more cleverness. It’s about saying, “This is stupid. Let’s cut it.”

• That extra onboarding page (actually all onboarding pages, when was the last time you didnt scroll through all those screens you add when the app first starts. Don’t listen to “data” that was found "through user testing” - that was faked. Kill it. Make a simpler app.)

• Performative brainstorming. You know those… Let’s get a 1000 postits on a wall in a workshop over 2 days.

• Trend-chasing.

You just need to stop doing the dumb sh*t that slows you down.

Designers love to make things. But the best designers? They also unmake. They edit. They strip away. They make room for what actually matters.

The most powerful design move isn’t always inventing something new. Sometimes it’s the guts to kill what doesn’t work.

The best designers? They unmake.
