Grateful for the opportunity to share the lessons I’ve learned over the last 2 years as a Fractional Design Partner 🎢

When you let people in while the work is still forming, feedback becomes less of a verdict and more of an essential ingredient that helps shape the end result.

When you mentor, what lesson do you repeat most because you learned it the hard way?

Wild times: building consumer products for work and SaaS for fun.
