Design at the speed of startups
summary
Design choices focus on concrete tradeoffs: build artifacts in a couple days or even a couple hours, use prototypes and short walkthrough videos, and accept that hundreds of prototypes beat one polished plan (Wright brothers spent $1,000 versus Langley’s $70,000). Practice lead every interaction with an artifact and share before you're ready—publish micro yeses every few hours, keep a “latest” page and a scratch pad in Figma, use auto layout and local prototypes to speed handoff and get real feedback fast.
