Our guiding principles
As a values-driven product team, we believe in maximizing for inspiration and empowerment to creatively explore and solve problems. We’re not afraid of chaos — we embrace the unknown to find elegant solutions while remaining open to change.
Champions of why
We build understanding and maintain context through all we do — from why and how we show up for each other to how we approach solutions. We aren’t afraid of asking questions and building understanding as we go.
The Pursuit of Happiness
Everything is a “Design” Problem
Maximize possibilities and potential
We explode the number of possibilities and swim through the chaos to find elegant solutions to the trickiest of problems.
“Yes! And…”
Autonomy and Ownership
Deep collaboration
We channel all the raw potential chaos into meaningful output through clear communication, shared vision and deep collaboration.
Feelings as Primary Communication
Spend as Much Time as Needed to Establish a Shared Vision
Never Alone
Revisit + refine
We strive to become an exceptional team by developing our ability to adapt to any situation. We build processes but stand back for the macro view to ensure we don’t become too rigid. The team and company will change over time, and we may need to change with it. So we bake change of the process into the process.
Nothing Is Sacred
Don’t Try to Control Everything
Continuous Feedback
Ensure Slack (Don’t Over Optimize)
Take Care of Yourself
Our process
We believe in ownership and empowerment and give our team the time needed to explore and dig into complex problems. But we never go it alone. Our team believes deeply in collaboration and ensuring we spend the time to align on a shared vision. We achieve this by:
Sprint planning and retros
Never alone
Design sprints
Limit meetings to focus on deep work
Synchronized and async updates
Our tools and tech
We constantly evaluate our tools and technology following our guiding principle of “nothing is sacred.” We stay up to date with the latest technology in the industry, finding the sweet spot for the best implementation.
