I assume that excellent probably means world's top 3% in both professions, so you want to be one of Apple's lead designers and one of Google's lead coders, which is pretty hard but still possible. I think the best route is to get immersed in each sequentially i.e. take a designer's job for a couple of years, then switch to programming and so on.

But I think there's even bigger advantage to your talent because:

- you can create a good looking and working product from scratch and launch it all by yourself

- when your product takes off and it's time to hire more programmers and designers you will be able to pick good ones since you are both.
