Fidji Simo grew up in Sète, a tiny fishing village in the south of France. Her dad left for the docks at 2 AM every morning. Her mom ran a small clothing boutique. She was the first person in her family to graduate high school. No connections. No safety net. No roadmap. But she had something else: an unshakable belief that she could build a bigger life - and bring others with her. She earned her master's from HEC Paris. Spent her final year at UCLA. Landed at eBay. Then set her sights on Facebook. Facebook rejected her. They said she didn't have "builder" experience. So she applied for a different role - spent a weekend inventing a product from scratch, complete with marketing materials, just to prove she belonged. They hired her. I met Fidji at Facebook in 2014. Even then, you could see it. She wasn't just smart - she made everyone around her better. She didn't just climb - she built ladders behind her. Over the next decade, she became one of the most powerful women in tech. She built Facebook's mobile ad business. Launched Facebook Live and Watch. Ran the entire Facebook app overseeing News Feed, Stories, Groups, Marketplace, and more. In a sea of hoodies and sneakers, she showed up in high heels and a French accent. Engineers told her they "didn't trust anyone in heels." She didn't change her shoes. She changed their minds. Then life threw her a curveball. She started fainting. A neurologist told her: "Sweetie, you're just a tired mom." It was POTS. A condition that affects 3 million Americans, 80% of them women. It took three years to get a diagnosis. Most people would have slowed down. Fidji built a medical institute. She co-founded the Metrodora Institute: a $35M clinic and research center dedicated to neuroimmune disorders that disproportionately affect women. Her deadline? Find a cure before her daughter develops the same condition. That's not ambition. That's a mother on a mission. In 2021, she became CEO of Instacart. Took it public, turned it profitable - breaking the longest tech IPO drought in 20 years. Then OpenAI came calling. Today? ↳ CEO of Applications at OpenAI ↳ Co-founder of Women in Product ↳ President of the Metrodora Foundation ↳ TIME's 100 Most Influential People in AI From a fisherman's daughter to shaping the future of AI. She didn't shrink to fit in. She stayed in her heels. Kept her accent. Built things that didn't exist yet. And she never stopped pulling others up behind her. "The greatest limits you'll ever face are the ones you quietly agree to." You don't need permission to belong. You need the courage to show up as yourself - and refuse to leave. ♻️ Repost to share Fidji's story with a woman in tech who needs to hear it today. 🔔 Follow Kari Russo for more stories of women breaking barriers in tech.

Jessica Klein reacted on thisJessica Klein reacted on thisLast week, my chapter at Meta came to a close as part of the recent layoffs. As unexpected as it was, I’ve found myself feeling less sadness and more gratitude. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to build a career I’m deeply proud of — from Gap Inc. to Under Armour to Apple , Google , and finally Meta — working alongside some incredibly talented people and helping bring creative ideas to life in ways I never could have imagined early on. And somewhere along the way, I started realizing that Meta might actually be my last stop. Not because I stopped loving the work, but because after so many years moving at full speed, I’ve been craving something different: a little more life, a little more balance, a little more Santa Barbara. So while this wasn’t the ending I expected, it oddly feels like the right transition into whatever comes next. Mostly, I just feel lucky for the ride — and very proud of the path that got me here.

Jessica Klein reacted on thisJessica Klein reacted on thisI don’t post here very often, but I wanted to share something I’ve been quietly proud to support over the last few months as I continue to consider what's next for me professionally as an experienced marketer. Earlier this year, two former Google colleagues Jake L. and Brad Grovich—now co-owners of the Golden State Storm LLC, the 16th team in the Women's National Football Conference—reached out to see if my current company wanted to support the Storm by purchasing a sponsorship for their inaugural tackle and flag football season. As much as I wanted to consider it, I was not currently managing a marketing budget nor had I opted to return to working full-time yet, but I knew I had something else to offer: my time and marketing expertise. I decided to jump in as a volunteer Marketing Director, joining a formidable team of other senior executive volunteers, where we're all leveraging decades of corporate experience to operate the Storm like a bootstrapped, high-growth startup. It has been really rewarding to help this organization, where human capital contributions are just as vital as the team's financial backing. I’m honored to work alongside a tireless volunteer staff and a roster of athletes who are all essentially juggling multiple full-time roles—their professional careers, family lives or even their own active job searches —and their commitment to quite literally making history on the field through women's football. We’re already seeing incredible momentum with support from forward-thinking sponsors like DOJO Air Taskrabbit, GORUCK, BART, EPIC Insurance Brokers & Consultants, LACES and St. Francis Winery & Vineyards. Perhaps most exciting is that several of the Storm players are under contract for NIL(Name, Image, and Likeness) deals, a groundbreaking step for the WNFC and women’s tackle football. We often hear the "Field of Dreams" quote—“If you build it, they will come”—and thousands of current / new fans showing up at Laney College in Oakland, CA are proving that true every week. Seeing the Storm break all existing WNFC game attendance records in Oakland is proof that when you believe in a mission this strongly, the community will show up. This recent SF Chronicle article does a wonderful job of capturing the heart of this team and the stereotypes these women are smashing on the field. https://lnkd.in/gQAU6hsx If you’re in the Bay Area, we would love to see you at our next home game! And we're always looking for new sponsors! Golden State Storm vs. Oregon Ravens Saturday, May 2nd at 7:00 PM Laney College Football Field, Oakland Tickets are affordable, include free parking, great food & entertainment and a dedicated free "fun zone" for the kids. Can't make it? You can also stream live Storm & WNFC games free on Victory+. I’m honored to support the Storm's inaugural season. I hope to see you in the Stands! #GoldenStateStorm #SportsMarketing #NIL #WomenInSportsShe was told girls don’t play football.

The Future of Creative Production Is Hybrid: Human Craft + AI + Automation In over 20 years leading creative teams and building production workflows for hundreds of major brands, I’ve seen how traditional agency processes, manual approvals, linear handoffs, and rigid pipelines, can slow delivery and limit potential. The challenge today isn’t choosing between humans or AI. It’s designing a system where they work together. At BIMM, our Creative Services team is delivering exactly that: Human craftsmanship: Brand interpretation, design decision-making brand nuance, experienced review and delivery accountability. AI in execution: generating technically correct, production-ready assets at speed, moving from concept to usable output faster, smarter and safer. Intelligent automation: streamlining repetitive tasks, removing bottlenecks, and connecting workflows so teams can scale without chaos. This isn’t AI replacing creativity. It’s AI accelerating execution, so human expertise can focus where it adds the most value. The traditional agency process isn’t dead. It just needs decluttering. By integrating human craft, AI-powered production, and automation into one cohesive workflow, brands can increase output, reduce friction, and maintain quality at scale. If you’re a CMO, Creative Director, or Marketing leader looking to modernize your production model without sacrificing craft, let’s talk. The hybrid solution isn’t theoretical. We’re already delivering it

I don’t disagree with ⚡️Zander. Super ICs have been carrying a heavy load the last couple years. That said, Super ICs are beasts at execution and ruthless prioritization, and are highly resilient; thrash typically rolls off like water. But all of that results in a vaccine for burnout, not an antidote. It will prolong impact, it will reduce the symptoms, but it will not prevent burnout.

Does Culture Shape Design — or Are We All Designing the Same Thing Now? Design doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Or does it? A designer working in the San Francisco Bay Area is surrounded by tech culture, venture capital optimism, product thinking, and a constant push toward “clean,” “scalable,” and “disruptive.” Compare that to someone designing in Bozeman, Montana—where pace, community, and proximity to nature might influence a more tactile, grounded, or regional sensibility. The question is: does location still meaningfully shape design outcomes, or has the internet flattened those differences? On a global level, the contrast seems even sharper. German design is often associated with precision, systems thinking, and restraint. Japanese design frequently embraces asymmetry, negative space, and a deep respect for craft and imperfection. These aren’t just aesthetic choices—they’re reflections of broader cultural values. But in an era where designers everywhere share the same tools, trends, and references, how much of that cultural DNA actually survives? Then there’s time. Does where you were trained matter after ten years in the industry? Or does professional experience eventually override geography and education? Many designers start with a strong regional or academic influence, only to find that client work, deadlines, and commercial constraints slowly sand those edges down. Which brings us to brand guidelines. Working within established systems can sharpen problem-solving skills, but it can also narrow creative range. After years of designing inside strict brand frameworks, do designers lose some of their experimental instincts—or do they simply learn how to be creative within tighter boundaries? And what about inspiration itself? Mood boards built from Pinterest, Instagram, and trend reports often pull from the same visual pool. When everyone references the same sources, designs begin to converge. Is this any different from the way global brands like McDonald’s appear in every country—slightly localized, but fundamentally the same? Are we witnessing the homogenization of design, where regional flavor is replaced by a globally acceptable, algorithm-approved aesthetic? Maybe culture still affects design—but more quietly now. Or maybe designers affect culture less than we’d like to believe. The real question might not be whether culture shapes design, but how much friction a designer is willing to preserve against sameness. #design #graphicdesign #branding #freelancedesigner

She's right that the old design process is dead, but I think she's underselling how fast it happened. Jenny says her September talk already feels outdated. That tracks. The gap between idea and shipped code is measured in minutes now, not sprints, and the tooling is only accelerating. The part about "seven agents constantly running" hits close to home. That's the workflow and when you're moving that fast, the bottleneck isn't design or engineering anymore. It's deciding what actually matters. Taste/signal is key. Jenny nails it: someone still has to be accountable for the decision. The three hiring archetypes are worth paying attention to. Especially the "craft new grad" one. People without baked-in process assumptions are adapting faster than senior folks who spent 10 years learning a workflow that just got obsoleted. Blank slate is an actual advantage right now. One thing I'd push back on: she says Claude isn't hireable as a designer yet. That's true if you're comparing to her deep specialist archetype. But for the execution layer she described, pairing with an engineer and polishing the last mile, it's closer than people think and if you're a designer/engineer its already here.

As a Creative Director, this one practice consistently unlocks better ideas, faster: Every two weeks, I run a 60 minute creative sprint where the only goal is to generate freely without judgment or practical outcomes. Some may see this as an expensive meeting. I see it as how teams build creative confidence. When people are allowed to think freely, without immediately measuring or refining, ideas move faster, and perfectionism loosens its grip. My latest Substack explores why separating making from measuring matters in creative leadership, and practical ways it changes how teams work. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/gkXF4ta8

Friday's slot machine post had some sharp comments. One question kept coming back: what are we paying AI to do in the first place? We're using AI to make design decisions when we should be using it for actual heavy lifting. Deciding if a button is 24px or 16px is the designer's job. Generating alt text for every image in the file is what AI is actually for. Here's an idea: a real-time prompt cost prediction before sending. This would slowly teach designers when to use AI and when to just do the thing yourself. AI needs guardrails. Turns out the humans prompting it need some too.

Anthropic just launched Claude Design 🎨 and leading design for an institutional trading platform, this one landed differently for me. The headline feature isn't the prototyping speed. It's the design system integration. Claude reads your codebase and design files during onboarding, then applies your colours, typography, and components automatically across every project. In a context like MarketsOne, where consistency across complex workflows isn't optional, that's the difference between a tool your team actually adopts and one that creates rework. ✅ The handoff to Claude Code is equally sharp. Design packages directly into a bundle, passed over with a single instruction. No ambiguity, no lost intent between design and engineering. 🔗 For institutional platforms, where auditability and consistency matter as much as velocity, brand-aware AI output isn't a nice-to-have. It's the baseline requirement. Early days, but this feels like AI that's starting to fit how design actually works, not around it. 👀 #DesignLeadership #AIDesign #TradingPlatforms #FinancialServices #UX #Anthropic https://lnkd.in/eJ43Mc2u

"Oh hell there he go again messin with other people's IP!" So many WAN-Animate experiments are rolling through my feed but so few are focused on full-body transformation. Everyone is showing waist-up, hands and face. Why? That has already been out. WAN is better than Act-2 at waist up, but imo the unique part of WAN-Animate is that it can do full body. With unique hair motion! Here is my experiment. One piece of stock footage, body-transferred into 10 different people in 10 different outfits, all wearing the same Nike Vaporfly 4's. The shot was broken into shorter clips, start frames were generated using Nanobanana, run through WAN-animate, and then cut back together in AE with some light comp work (mostly to fix differences in the regenerated bg). I think this would be quite hard to do using any other means: maybe shoot 10 people running on a track and get them all to maintain the exact same body position/foot placement etc through the entire sequence? Or how about reskinning the same CG rig with 10 characters with different hair, skin, outfits etc? Sounds hard. At the end I pulled stills of the Vaporfly 4's and did some Kling start frame / end frame gens to get a kinetic product shot at the end. The logo break / reform at the end is also Kling with AE time displacement on top. ***The Mago beta looks amazing for this stuff, I probably should redo this whole project tomorrow 😭

Trust is the hardest metric to design for. Waymo just showed us how it’s done. Jonathan Slotkin’s recent analysis of Waymo’s 100 million driverless miles reveals a stunning UX stat: 91% fewer serious-injury crashes compared to humans, and 96% fewer intersection-related injuries compared with human drivers in the same cities. The scale of this gap reframes autonomous driving from a tech experiment into a public health opportunity. What stands out is the consistency of the results. Fewer high-impact collisions, fewer pedestrian injuries, fewer cyclist incidents. The pattern points to a system that follows rules, avoids distraction, and reacts faster than humans can. It solves the "Human Error" problem by redesigning the system, not the user. As UX professionals, we talk a lot about "human-centered design." Sometimes, that means acknowledging human limitations like distraction, emotion, and reaction time. The future of mobility and UX is about removing the burden of operation entirely. #ServiceDesign #UXResearch #Safety #AI #UX

Exploring Claude as a designer has been wild, the pace of change is unreal. With a single prompt, I generated a working design system in code this weekend. If you’re a designer, this is your nudge to start learning AI now. These tools aren’t here to replace us, they’re here to amplify our impact but only if we’re fluent enough to use them. I am sharing the prompt: You are a Global Design Director tasked with building a scalable design system for [BRAND]. Brand personality: [MINIMAL / BOLD / LUXURY / PLAYFUL / MODERN / TECHNI-CALI Deliver a production-ready design system including: 1. Color System - Primary, secondary, semantic, neutral palettes + dark mode equivalents 2. Typography Framework - 9-step type scale with font pairing rationale 3. Spatial System - 8px grid foundation with spacing tokens 4. Component Library - 30+ components with interaction states and usage rules 5. Responsive Layout Patterns - Breakpoints and adaptive behavior logic 6. Motion Principles - Transition curves, durations, micro-inter-action philosophy 7. Accessibility Standards - WCAG AA compliance guidance and contrast ratios Export deliverables in three formats: * Design tokens (JSON structure) * CSS variable declarations * Figma-ready component documentation This output will power the visual foundation inside Figma Make. #claude #ai #design #designsystems #wcag #idc

Something I hear from emerging leaders all the time: "I don't know who I am as a leader yet." When you move from designing to leading, the feedback loops disappear. No Figma files. No shipped features. No obvious signal that you're doing it right. So people start mimicking what they think a leader should look like. And slowly, they lose themselves. In my latest article, I write about why authenticity isn't a soft concept; it's a strategic anchor. When your team is going through change, and they're looking to you for something real. Teams have very finely tuned BS detectors. They don't need you to have all the answers. They need to know you're human. 📖 Read the full piece here → https://lnkd.in/eJbpA8Cv What's one value you refuse to compromise on as a leader? Would love to hear below. 👇 #DesignLeadership #Leadership #Authenticity #EmergingLeaders #TrueNorth

Just saw the introduction of Claude Design by Anthropic — pretty exciting. You can literally describe what you want, and it generates designs, slides, or prototypes for you. Then refine everything through conversation. What stands out to me is how it can understand your design system and apply it automatically across projects. Feels like we’re moving from “designing screens” → “designing systems + intent” Curious how this will change the way we work as designers 👀 Currently exploring more AI-driven design workflows — this space is moving fast. #ProductDesign #UXDesign #AIDesign #GenerativeAI #DesignSystems #FutureOfWork #DesignWorkflow

This is for all my fellow designers out there sending out 100’s of resumes with little to no responses. First off, I know how you feel. I’ve sent out over 150 applications since June to companies that I truly felt I would have been a good fit for based on experience and qualifications. I have gotten only 4 interviews. Two were based off industry connections and two were selected by human recruiters who both said that they don’t use AI to filter applications. I didn’t land any of them, but that’s not why I’m writing this. I am writing this because I found something when I was redoing my resume for what feels like the 30th time this year. This time I was optimizing it (again) for ATS (Applicant Tracking System) formatting. When I ran my new resume (PDF) through ChatGPT for scoring and compliance, it kept saying that sections of my resume were out of place and that I needed to adjust the order to be read properly. I couldn’t see the issue, so I took a screenshot of my resume and asked for clarity. This was the response: The issue I (“I,” haha...) was flagging wasn’t about how it looks — it’s about how the PDF text is ordered internally, which ATS systems read in a different sequence than a human looking at the layout. Long story short, for those of us using resumes in PDF format (as a designer, I cannot fathom the thought of using a Word doc for a resume), LAYERS MATTER! Please see the below for BEFORE and AFTER (100% scoring and compliance) organizing the layers in my Illustrator document. Before this, I’ve run my resume through countless ATS exercises without an issue. For my latest version, I did copy and paste and move a lot of stuff around, so that is most likely where the issue came from. This might be obvious to everyone, but I wanted to share this because with all the resumes being sent, you can eliminate yourself before a human can see your work. Not because of experience… Not because of your design… But because your LAYERS ARE OUT OF ORDER! It may be the difference between being seen — and being filtered out. Please let me know if anyone has had similar issues, or feel free to comment if you just want to vent about challenges you are having with resume writing and job hunting. I FEEL YOUR PAIN!

Had a great chat with Matt McCue about Humorphism, the design philosophy guiding our recent launches, and what it means to go from operating tools to collaborating with them. The best way to learn is to do, so I built an AI teammate named Alicia. From scratch, on weekends. I'm not a trained engineer, and that's the point. If I can build a thinking partner like Alicia, anyone can. She's one example of Humorphism in practice. We're collaborative at our heart, and somewhere along the way we forgot that. Because ultimately, to make artificial intelligence less artificial, we need to make humans more human. https://lnkd.in/gk5ezYPf

After 12 years directing creative work, I never thought I'd say this: imperfection is now a strategic advantage. Here's what I'm seeing in 2026. Consumers will pay 60% more for work that feels human-made. That's not sentiment. That's market data reshaping how we approach creative strategy. The irony isn't lost on me. We spent years chasing pixel-perfect, polished, pristine. Now the brands winning are the ones that look like someone actually touched them. I call it the Authentically Artificial paradox. AI handles 75% of our layout iterations, color testing, and rapid prototyping. It's faster, cheaper, and honestly better at the technical grind. But here's what it can't do: add the handwritten note that makes packaging feel personal. Choose the slightly imperfect photo that tells a real story. Know when a design needs warmth over precision. The leadership lesson took me years to learn. Your job isn't to compete with AI on efficiency. It's to direct it. Think of yourself as the editor, not the typist. The creative leader who knows which 20% of human touch transforms competent work into work people actually remember. Three questions I now ask every project: - Where does this need a human fingerprint? - What imperfection would make this feel more real? - Are we optimizing for polish or for connection? Scalability used to mean removing the human element. Now it means knowing exactly where to put it back. The brands that will define the next decade won't be the ones with the best AI tools. They'll be the ones with creative leaders who understand when to let the machine run, and when to leave their own mark. That's not a technology problem. That's a leadership one. #CreativeLeadership #BrandStrategy #DesignThinking #AIinDesign #ArtDirection

AI promised to level the playing field. Instead, it just raised the bar. If you can’t spot the gaps, these tools don't make you more capable. They help you fail faster at scale. The bar for "great" remains in the hands of people who know their craft.
