The most popular series of workshops—we'll uncover ideas to drive growth, design what your product will look like in six months to a year, and break down how to get there quickly.
Product Management Workshops
We'll figure out which new ideas to test and which recently shipped features to iterate on to raise the bar, help scale, and solve real product problems.

Hello.
I’m Gev.
Fractional
Head of Design
One of the earliest lessons I learned was while working on Facebook in 2007. At the time, I was designing a photo contest for the TV show Gossip Girl. I initially believed that people wouldn't share their photos online with strangers, but in just two days, the contest received half a million entries. This experience taught me the importance of designing for the general public rather than my own biases.
Years later, I led the design team at Konrad and mentored designers who are now working at Superhuman, Tesla, Spotify, and Google. However, my decision to leave and work at a startup made me realize that I needed to think like a product person. The Dunning Kruger graph provided me comfort during this period.
After a day of endless meetings, I had an epiphany—my true value as a designer. I want to produce exceptional work and focus on design rather than management. This motivated me to launch my own practice, where I collaborate with a small group of select clients and delve deeply into their needs.
