design was always about thinking. the way you solve problems, the way you put things together. great talk from katie proves it. the ability to articulate, to decide what should and shouldn’t exist, is the pure core of design as it was intended in the first place. to me, the upcoming era is not for engineers. it is for designers, but designers in their purest form. not people who know figma. people who care, think, make judgments, and can see what should exist before it does. and that can be almost anyone.

consumer founders, i want to try an experiment. free, no agenda, one hour of your time. quick context: right now i'm building die carz - a consumer social product for collectors. and most of what we do has nothing to do with cars. why someone comes back. how onboarding changes engagement. how achievements change status. why a collection of 5,000 cars should feel different from 20. how to turn something functional into something people want to play with. somewhere along the way i realized consumer products are the thing i'm most curious about. so here's the experiment: if you're building one - software or hardware - let's talk for an hour. tell me what you're building and what you're stuck on. the problem you've tried to solve and how you solved it. the thing your users do that makes absolutely no sense. i'll share anything useful i've learned from die carz, ask probably too many questions, and maybe spot something - simply because i haven't spent years working around your problem. and i'd love to hear how you see mine problems in return. not consulting. no invoice, no agenda. two founders discussing day-to-day existence. if you're building something interesting, dm me. worst case you lose an hour. best case you see your own product differently.
