Jacob Medure

Product Designer

I'm a product designer working fluidly across product, design and engineering. I think of design as a universally applicable problem-solving framework and at my best, deliver solutions in one fluid motion.

I'm also a father, leader and craftsman that honors my responsibility to make intentional, well crafted and cared for products for people.

Projects
Focus

  • Making software as one fluid motion. Identifying problems. Earning conviction. Sweating the details. Implementing secure, functional, then delightful experiences.

  • Relationships are predictive of KPI success. Taste > Metrics.

  • This is an experiment.

  • Design as a framework. Designing a business as the level boss.

  • Toil = Meaning
  • How you do anything is how you do everything. Be a present dad, partner. Write clearly. Train hard. Make honestly. Cultivate stillness. Listen. Assume you don't know. Do what you said you were going to do.
  • Keep it light.
