About the author

I’m a web designer and bootstrapper. I believe in bootstrappers and the businesses they are building, and I know design can help them succeed. I’ve completed work for such diverse clients as funded tech startups, financial companies, movie studios, and consumer brands working at agencies and as a freelancer. I write code. I prefer getting things done to just talking about it. I want to help your startup succeed with practical but effective design.

In this book, Jarrod shares the lessons he learned over the past few years so that others won't make the same mistake.

He confirms many of my assumptions about a startup. Best to read this quickly and take advice seriously enough. Business and life, in general, is not about making things and setting a price. It is about understanding what people need and fulfilling that need.

Not really a book, but rather a collection of essays. A recommended read anyway for any aspiring designer (or someone interested in design).
