Lecciones de Años

Qué hay en las slides

1. Slide 1

   2014 → 2026 · product design

   12 years in design. 5 lessons I’d tattoo on my younger self.

   Learned the expensive way, at four companies and one failed studio.

2. Slide 2

   Learned 2015

   Nobody reads your deck. They read your first slide.

   Put the decision you need on slide one. The other 20 are an appendix.

3. Slide 3

   Learned 2017

   Taste is just reps you didn’t skip.

   I redrew the same checkout flow 40 times that year. That’s where my eye came from.

4. Slide 4

   Learned 2019

   Ship the ugly version on Tuesday.

   Real users in week one taught me more than the three polished months that came before.

5. Slide 5

   Learned 2022

   Your manager is a user. Design for them.

   A two-line weekly update got me promoted faster than any portfolio piece.

6. Slide 6

   Learned 2025

   Leave rooms where you’re the smartest one.

   My studio failed partly because I hired people who agreed with me. Never again.

7. Slide 7
