Making Veenyl. A human-machine symbiosis
Veenyl started as an experiment to see how far GenAI could take a real product, without me writing code or designing screens. What began with a simple barcode scanner quickly became a production app. This is the story of that journey.
Business is the next thing designers need to understand
For many years designers have understood how people behave and use digital products and how to colaborate with engineers to bring them to life, now designers need to understand how business decisions are made.
Becoming a Design Manager
Over the last 2 years or so I’ve had the privilege and huge responsibility to manage a team of 5 designers. This is the story of my journey.
