Year-ahead planning, tools, semantics

Draft's Letters

This is our final letter of the year before we go on break for the holidays. Thanks again for your support, now & always.

Store Design’s proofs have been approved, and book production has begun. Soon, soon.

This week, for paid members

  • Our weekly paid lesson is about how to plan your value-based design work for the following year.
  • Our design of the week is the single worst default we’ve ever seen. Sorry to end the year on a bummer note?
  • We’re throwing our last office hours of the year on Tuesday, December 19 at 1p CST. Share your glazed ham recipes! Or just talk about design. I don’t care!
  • And finally, our final teardown of the year is for Baymard 1%-er REI. You may have heard of it.
