The best designers are effective *outside* of Figma. But how do they achieve that? Learn 27 actionable lessons on communication, persuasion, influence, decision-making, productivity, and more.
Today I'm launching my new book 🎉
The best designers are making an impact *outside* of Figma. But how do they achieve that?
I spent half a year describing 27 ways to help designers increase their impact on product, organization, themselves, and the world, including:
- Selling your ideas more effectively
- Building up your influence
- Building a relationship with your manager
- Making better and faster decisions
- What designers regret in their careers
- How designers (do not) become wealthy
- Building a career that does good for the world
- Where and from whom to learn design
- and more…
I also invited design leaders who worked at Etsy, Stripe, Webflow, Shopify, Adobe, and The Wall Street Journal to share what helps designers to be more effective at work and their careers.
The results are available in my book now. Happy reading!

Who hunted The Effective Product Designer?
The Effective Product Designer was hunted by Artiom Dashinsky. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
