I want to chat with you 1:1
and learn how I can help :)
Hi there — happy Saturday ☀️ 2026 has started, but I haven’t set any goals yet. This year, I want to go with the flow and see what kind of magic can happen.
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about this newsletter and its direction. It reminded me of something from years ago (before I had kids) when I launched a podcast about kids entrepreneurship. I published 55 episodes, interviewing parents, teachers, and kids building amazing businesses.
But I made one big mistake: I didn’t really talk with my listeners. I kept creating content, without truly understanding their needs. Eventually, I stopped—there wasn’t clear value or momentum, and I didn’t know who I was building it for.
I don’t want to repeat that mistake.
Today, I’m running a design studio and writing this newsletter to share what I’m learning while solving real design problems for early-stage startups. And I’ve realized something important: I don’t actually know you that well yet.
Are you a founder? A designer? A developer? A PM?
What are you trying to learn, build, or figure out right now?
Fill out some questions to have a 1:1 chat with me :)
Instead of writing only from my own perspective, I want to understand what you care about—and how this newsletter can bring real value to your career or life.
If you’re open to it, I’d love for you to fill out a short survey. I’ll personally pick around 30 people to chat with 1:1, just to listen, learn, and see how I can help.
No agenda. No sales pitch. Just a real conversation.
That’s it for this week—no tips or essays today. Just an honest note to say: I care about making this newsletter useful for you, and that starts with getting to know you better.
If that sounds good, I’d truly love to chat 💛
