🌟 September Updates from 80/20 Design!
I’m thrilled to share some exciting news about my journey as a Notion creator and product designer! Over the past few months, I’ve had some amazing opportunities that I’m incredibly proud of, and I wanted to take a moment to celebrate these milestones with you:
1️⃣ Officially a Notion Recommended Creator!
I’m honored to have been featured as a Notion Recommended Creator on the front page of their templates page, alongside just three other creators. 🙌 This recognition means the world to me, as it highlights Notion’s appreciation for my craft and the templates I’ve built for startups and entrepreneurs. Since the feature, I’ve seen an over 400% boost in traffic to my site and downloads. Thank you to everyone who has supported me! 🙏
2️⃣ Reaching a Global Audience!
I’m proud to share that users from 122 countries have downloaded my Notion templates, with over 1,000 downloads and 740 customers. What makes this even more rewarding is that I achieved this without any paid advertising. As someone responsible for everything - product development, design, and marketing—it can be incredibly challenging to get traction, especially with no ad budget.
Before being featured on Notion’s front page as a Recommended Creator, I struggled to gain visibility and interest. Like many solo product creators, I experienced firsthand how challenging marketing can be when doing it alone. Getting featured provided a significant boost, and I’m genuinely happy with how things have grown since then.
That said, my expectations were initially modest, and I’m excited to see how this venture evolves over the next few months. I’ll keep you updated as things progress!
3️⃣ Notion Certified Expert!
On top of this, I’ve also completed three official Notion exams, earning badges in Notion Essentials, Settings & Sharing, and Advanced Skills. These certifications further solidify my expertise in creating powerful, user-friendly Notion templates that help startups succeed. 💪
4️⃣ Website Enhancements and Feedback-Driven Updates
I’ve been busy upgrading my website and materials based on valuable feedback from customers and friends. A huge thank you to everyone who has shared their thoughts - it’s helped me refine my products and improve the experience. I’ve also launched a survey to get to know my customers better, and I can’t wait to share the insights once I gather enough responses! Stay tuned. 😊
What’s Next?
🔜 New Product Launches
I’m currently working on breaking down my Product Manual: Complete Edition into three smaller, focused products:
🚀 Build from Scratch
🔧 Enhance with New Features
📊 Improve with User Feedback
These new versions are tailored to meet different needs, whether starting a new product, refining existing features, or improving based on feedback. I’m excited to release these in the coming weeks!
🔜 New Blog Posts
I’m also working on a series of blog posts covering topics like:
Articulating Design Decisions – Communicating design value and navigating feedback
UX Metrics – Understanding the importance of data in product design
Jobs to Be Done – Sharing insights from my most popular template
🔍 Looking for a New Challenge!
As I continue my journey with 80/20 Design, I’m excited to announce that I’m actively seeking new full-time opportunities as a Product Designer and UX Expert. With over a decade of experience in the product development lifecycle, I bring a unique blend of design thinking, user experience, and strategic product management to the table.
What I Bring:
Product Strategy & Vision: Proven ability to shape products from concept to market, focusing on lean methodology and ensuring alignment with business goals and user needs.
Customer Research & User-Centric Design: Deep experience conducting user interviews, usability tests, and journey mapping to inform design decisions that truly resonate with users.
Product Validation & MVP Building: Expertise in hypothesis-driven design, prototyping, and A/B testing to refine ideas and deliver real, validated solutions.
Leadership in UX & Design Operations: Skilled in building and leading cross-functional teams, mentoring, and fostering a product-centric culture within startups and larger teams.
User Interface Design & Prototyping: Proficient in crafting high-fidelity and interactive prototypes. While I consider my strengths to lie more in product strategy and user experience, I’m fully capable of delivering intuitive and polished UI designs that meet user needs.
Design Systems: Experienced in creating and maintaining design systems to ensure product consistency. I approach design systems with practicality, knowing it’s about finding the balance between structure and flexibility.
Ready to Collaborate:
I want to bring my expertise to a company that values innovation, user-centered design, and strategic growth. If you’re looking for someone who thrives in dynamic environments and has a track record of delivering impactful, user-focused products - let’s connect!
