Draft's Letters

First, our monthly office hours for paid members is coming up! Join us on Tuesday, May 13 to ask me anything about value-based design & getting an impact with your work. These vary in attendance from 1 to 10 people, and they’re always helpful for you and for me. Signup link after the jump!


Onboarding is massively important, but it usually doesn’t lend itself well to specific design patterns, since the goal is to create a specific outcome that is specific to your product’s value. In this lesson, then, we’ll talk about some of the principles that onboarding should follow, and dive into some examples.
