About this episode
Since the beginning of my design career, I’ve looked up to Metalab. So this interview is a special one because we get to learn from their Head of Design, Michael Wandelmeier. We go deep into how design works at Metalab and talk about specific strategies around:
- Mike’s go-to storytelling tactics
- The importance of opinionated design
- When they ignore constraints on a project
- The unique way they map out user journeys
- Tips for driving alignment on complex projects
- How they use the “ridiculously early hypothesis”
Dive is where the best designers never stop learning 🤿
