About

Design Staff is dedicated to helping startups design great products. We’re a community of designers, researchers, and entrepreneurs who have helped build some of the products you probably use everyday.

We write for both entrepreneurs and designers. For entrepreneurs, we’ll be discussing how to do great product design at your company: talking to users, building a design team, creating a design culture, using design process, and collaborating with designers. For designers, we’ll share the lessons we’ve learned along the way about practicing design at early-stage companies.

If you’d like us to write about a specific topic or answer a question about design at startups, please let us know: topics@designstaff.org
