Great products are designed for a purpose.

https://blog.mikklemberg.ee/purpouse-built-product.html

Summer is an excellent time to pick up old hobbies again. So here's a one-hour music show featuring artists from around the world.

I hope you dig it!
And I plan to publish a new show every month 🤞

I've set up a simple blog to keep notes on the books and articles I read.

I just finished reading Marx in the Anthropocene → https://blog.mikklemberg.ee/notes-on-marx-in-the-anthropocene.html

Wrote about design-led companies after reading W. David Marx

I'd never have thought that I'd find a poem about whitespace in Victor Papanek’s “Design for the Real World”

My most important realisation after reading 'The Responsible Object' is that designers should trust in integrating ideals of equality and sustainability into design work in order to break down the systems of the status quo that are responsible for the problems we currently face.

Handpicked selection from my recent vinyl hauls. A blend of jazz, soul, and funk that fits with the shift towards autumn in Tallinn.

It's a laid-back mix for those increasingly common rainy days. Cozy groove, maybe?

I escaped the dark and cold Estonian winter to spend some time in sunny Spain.

The extra sunlight made me productive and I finally captured my thoughts on the book "Less is more": https://blog.mikklemberg.ee/less-is-more

I wrote about customer obsession and collected a handful actions that can be followed throughout the product development process.

If you know any good ways to help product teams focus more on customers, I'd like to hear them.

Enjoying the improved writing capabilities on @cv and have posted what is almost a case study of my daily work

Celebrated getting older by playing some "old people's music" that I usually only listen to myself.

Blend of samba-infused beats of Brazil, Italian ballads and from the heart of South African pop to American classics to French cinematic charm — once again I'm all over the place.

Great examples of dedicated quality efforts: https://anthonyhobday.com/blog/20240914.html 

Any other practices at specific companies?

Here's a great talk about building a new product — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hG11StsBHko

Hello there, from a very wintry Tallinn.

I was feeling a bit silly, so the hour-long show turned out eclectic. Nevertheless, all the tracks have a strong roots in jazz.

I highly recommend outdoor activities since many thoughts crystallise during hikes. plus also the views.

Kankyō Ongaku, Japanese environmental music, is my go-to for focus music.

I was reminded of them when watching the movie "Perfect Days"

Recent discussion in Twitter about opinionated software helped me to think through concept like design-led companies and purpose-built product.
