I measure design in dollars. That's my hot take and I'm standing by it. I'm a product designer who loves to work across B2B SaaS pipelines, complex B2C flows, and AI workflows that didn't exist two years ago. I get excited when design actually moves the needle on adoption, revenue, and how fast a team can ship.
