Encouraging more designers to become founders is essential, as developing a design mindset will be crucial for building the next generation of companies.

Founders should prioritize hiring talented designers early on to enhance their company's design capabilities.

The integration of design into a startup's process is essential for building products that resonate with users.

I care a lot about encouraging more designers to become founders and more founders to care about design in the early days of starting their company.

The culture of a startup is modeled after the founders' actions; if you want a hardworking culture, you must demonstrate that commitment yourself.

It's essential for founders to engage deeply with design candidates, especially if they have spent significant time solving related problems themselves.

Attracting a designer to a startup requires having a strong team and a clear vision, especially if the startup is consumer-focused, which may necessitate a co-founder with design expertise.

Company culture starts when it's just two people working on an idea, and founders who care about their culture early tend to build the best companies.

Imagine leading your startup with the qualities you admire in others; that could unlock new creativity and foster a better culture.
