Hey Reader,

This past January, I gave a talk at the 10x Conference which set the stage for a gathering like no other - a beacon for designers eager to broaden their horizons, refine their craft, and connect with the creators of the design community.

I aimed to share a transformative experience with my talk, The Influential Product Designer. Where I distilled years of navigating the complex web of product design into a 30-minute journey, designed to empower you with the knowledge to have strategic influence and forge strong partnerships within your cross-functional teams.

Are you ready to transition from being a great designer to becoming an undeniably influential one? Then purchase my talk here - elevate your game, dive into the depths of product challenges, and emerge with strategies that not only solve problems but inspire change.

In this talk we’ll:

• Navigate through ambiguous product challenges with clarity.
• Make design decisions that are backed by solid rationale.
• Amplify your influence and impact within your teams and projects.
• BONUS: Receive the presentation deck

Remember: influence isn't about wielding power; it's about fostering understanding and collaboration to bring visions to life. And sometimes, all it takes is a shift in perspective to see the opportunities for impact that lie within our grasp.

👀 Want to dive into the world of AI?

Join Ioana and I for a 60-min live event all about AI and the critical thinking that surrounds it! In this talk, we’ll sharpen our critical thinking hats and paint our design decisions with a palette of ethics, making every AI-infused project feel like innovation in the Age of AI.

This is a FREE community event, but $5 for non-members.

• 📅 When: Mon, March 25
• ⏰ Time: 1pm EST / 10am PST
