Unicorn Club
A weekly publication about what makes good digital products work. Each Wednesday, I take one useful product moment and look at the decisions, details and trade-offs underneath it.
One thing, looked at properly
Product people already have more than enough things to skim.
Unicorn Club is built around a different idea: take one product choice worth slowing down for and look at it properly.
It might be an interface detail, workflow, launch, trust problem or trade-off. Each issue looks at what the choice is doing, what sits underneath it and what someone could use from it in their own product work.
How each issue works
A useful product moment
One interface detail, product decision, workflow or trade-off worth paying attention to.
The thinking underneath
What the choice is doing, why it might make sense and what the team may have missed.
The trade-off
What improves, what becomes harder and what the decision asks the team to defend.
Something to use
A sharper question, clearer explanation or useful lens to bring into the next product conversation.
Designed to be read and revisited
Every issue arrives by email and also lives as a full piece on the Unicorn Club website.
The web format gives each subject enough room for clear examples and visuals, while the weekly email keeps the publication concise, familiar and easy to return to.
A publication I design, write and build
Unicorn Club brings together much of the work I enjoy most: product thinking, writing, interface design and front-end development.
I shape and write each issue, design and build the website, and create the weekly email experience around it.

Design that makes a difference. Together.
I work with product teams from early decisions through to design and delivery. If you need another experienced product designer in the mix, I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
