Had a great time @ Grok Conf (unrelated to the AI model)

Some of my notes from the various talks:

  • Write more
  • Your work is only as good as the team & clients around you
  • Internet is in a liminal space | Have fun & be weird
  • Play with the things you are scared of
  • When you’re holding a bag of money and your client says “hey, be careful with that bag, or I’ll kill you,” things become really clear
  • Clients don’t want design, they want design experiences that function as conversations with a trusted partner
  • Aim for high conceptual fidelity
  • Make your brand a complete thought
