As a COO, I’m always trying to figure out get a ton of things done in a short amount of time. I’m constantly thinking about how to do more with less.

Picture this: You’re a product designer with a handful of years on your career path. You’ve cut your teeth on a few big launches and earned your stripes as a solid “mid level” product designer.
