What do we want? MVP!! When do we want it? NOW! I get it. You think you've got the product to end all products. You have itchy fingers. You want it built asap. But before you deploy salivating engineers to start coding, take some time to think and act like a venture capitalist. There are steps to go through to validate everything that needs validated. Avoid launching a dog turd. 💩 Validate validate validate. 1. Validate your product hypothesis. 2. Validate DVF. (Desirability, Viability & Feasibility). 3. Develop a Product Vision + MVP Concept. 4. Business Model. 5. Solution Architecture (Outline). 6. GTM Strategy (Outline). 7. Create a tight 'investment' Pitch Deck to share with all stakeholders. There's about 1000 ways of working through each of the above steps. Choose accordingly for your own context; take in external help for the parts you're uncomfortable with; and keep the deadline to deliver all the above as short as possible. #MVP #buildmeasurelearn #digitalproducts #humblebee #sweden #digitaltransformation #softwaredevelopment #servicedesign #businessdesign #innovation

OK, 2025. I wrote a little piece on how I think you will change the way we work with web development and digital services. And I am welcoming a dear friend back, <input type="textbox">. I knew you would grow up to play a major role someday. Am I right? You tell me in the comments or DMs. But first, read the article and share it as much as you like! Happy new year friends!

Here’s a thought… The tool does not make the designer, the designer makes the tool. We need to move the industry from focusing Figma-flex into actually caring about the craft and having an interest for design. It’s not about Auto layout. It’s not about tokens. It’s not about copy>paste so that every SaaS brand looks like Linear. I am not into this trade to become design robot. I became a designer because as a creative person, I like to design. Then I turned it into creating stunning digital experiences that bring value to its customers. Design systems are great. But we didn’t start using them to eradicate the designer and turn us into drag-and-drop robots. We invented them to help us design even better experiences. If you are a new in the business looking for a your first design job. Show me in your portfolio why you love design. Show me the craft. Maybe you can’t compete with experience, but you can compete with passion. Stay humble to the fact that you are new in this business. But show me something more than words about why you want to work with design. Through our love for design we will find a way. #design #productdesign #digitaldesign #designsystem #figma #webdesign
