James is a growth marketer. He has worked on several projects, but the Notion Growth Workspace is his first side-project.
To be honest, the tool started with my personal use of Notion. Working across many projects, I found that there were many tasks across several areas that can make use of powerful functionality in Notion.

I had the pleasure of connecting with Nick, founder of the digital product ShareKit. I customized the previews of my LinkedIn profile, and I was amazed by the speed and ease of the product. I took the opportunity to ask two questions and understand more from his experience.

Sure! Some time ago, Facebook announced that brands are no longer able to modify their link previews, which was a pretty big blow to social media managers since they care about showcasing their brand in the best possible light. …
We have often talked about the focus that Designers must keep on their Customers. Today we went further by hosting Andrea Rolleri, an experience excellence ninja with 10+ years of experience across entertainment, telco and travel industries.
Andrea is the Customer Digital Transformation Director at Sky, but has spent several years with Vodafone and Costa Cruises.
Actually these three have very few in common because the way companies work on customer experience is continuously changing and because the way they approach it is very different:
This article is not an advertising post. I will refer to the criteria, choices, and decisions you can make if you have to choose coworkers and what to evaluate.

Empathy is the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner.

In this episode of our Life Stories series, we had the pleasure of hosting Lee Robinson, an unconventional creator: mostly a developer, online teacher and writer.
I met Lee by stumbling upon his (now free) “Mastering Next.js” video course and was delighted with his professional skill as a teacher.
Being myself a Designer, I was thrilled about his way of teaching advanced front-end development. For its new course, “React 2025", we had the pleasure of having him for a conversation about so different aspects in the creativity process.
This is a quick recap of the key moments of our conversation. …
