I totally get it — having taste usually comes from people who’ve shipped a lot, across different kinds of work. Design-led founders often bring that naturally because they’re in a position to experiment freely and shape the product from the top.
But at the same time, designers also need to individually ship and build that muscle themselves.
Personally, I really admire what the founder of mymind.com does — it’s pure craft, refined through years of experimentation.
That said, I believe the best design studios are the ones that sit close to the founder and ship alongside them — not just for them.
