After two months of work, we’re finally ready to finish migrating all of our membership benefits over to this list. In this letter, we’ll talk about what we’ll be doing going forward.
What happens now
We used to post lessons, new design decisions, and office hours to a separate website. Now we’re posting them here, paywalled for paid members.
In short, paid members won’t have to check a whole separate website, and free members will see some paywalled emails. That’s it.
What to expect going forward
Content-wise, we tend to shift tack every couple of years or so. And now that we’re coming out of a two-month intermission where we paused all new writing to focus on what to do next, we’ve gained deep clarity on the shifts that will be necessary to survive & thrive going forward.
In particular, we’ll be discussing the power dynamics & psychological issues inherent in design. As you know from reading these letters, design is a form of leveraged power. In order to work with that power, design must step into its authority. We’ll be providing lessons to paid members around the current issues facing design’s power struggles, and provide concrete, actionable steps for not only designing, but shipping high-quality, profitable design.
We remain honored to share this work with you, and expect it to radically transform your practice.

Now let’s talk about benefits. This email is important if you’re a paid member, so you won’t want to lose it. Free books! A flotilla of toolkits, checklists, and calendars! Several hundred lessons on value-based design! Let’s get into it.
