"I wish there was a way to know you're in 'the good old days” About 14 years ago, we had this beautiful office in an old school building where we were building a social learning platform. We were naive, told dad jokes all day, and manually(!?)built the software of our dreams.

You shipped a better design. Users hated it anyway. That’s not irrational. A redesign is a loss to someone who had the old one memorised. Losses always hit harder than gains feel good.

The longer you look at your own design, the better it feels. Not because it got better. Because you got used to it. Zajonc proved this in the 60s. Your eye isn’t judging anymore. It’s just recognizing. productdesignpsychology.com/…

For all 40 chapters in my book, I created an illustration. It was a challenge to develop a unique style and come up with concepts that matched each chapter’s topic, but I’m happy with how they turned out. 📘 productdesignpsychology.com

Every work day I start here on the couch with a coffee, making my todo list for the day and going through emails and chats. Often with some piano music playing in the background 💆‍♂️

I loved working on the illustrations for the book. Figuring out the style and coming up with a concept for each chapter wasn’t easy, but I’m really happy with how they turned out. Here are some of my favorites. 📘 productdesignpsychology.com/…

It's finally live. Product Design Psychology is a free online book about psychology and design. Not just how psychology shapes the decisions your users make, but also the decisions you make as a designer, and the organization you work in. 📘 productdesignpsychology.com

Working on the illustrations for my book Product Design Psychology. After almost a decade 🙈 of starting, stopping, and starting again, I’ve finally reached the fun part.

Another dream unlocked: We bought a 1970 Volkswagen T2a campervan. Might still need a tiny bit of work, but we can’t wait for many family road trips in this classic.

Sure, money can’t buy happiness. But it can buy a second motorcycle to go chase it in the mud. 🎉

So great to catch up with my buddy @ericgsharp today; lots of laughs and learned a ton about the Model Context Protocol for AI along the way.

Allroad training left me with a massive grin. Funny how crashing a 250kg beast into a sand wall somehow made that grin even bigger.

Proud dad moment: My 8-year-old daughter just got into interface design… and casually designed an entire phone and operating system.
