I've designed B2B products for over 10 years

And there are 5 issues I kept seeing:

1 - Unnecessarily complex experiences
2 - Little (or no) user understanding
3 - Bad information architectures
4 - Major usability problems
5 - Lack of consistency

Over and over again.

As a result, companies see:

- Low activation & adoption
- Low retention rates
- High churn rates

Fixing these problems needs a special team and B2B focused methodology

Different from designing for B2C user experiences.

B2B products have:
- Complex workflows
- Multiple user roles
- Intricate decision-making

Here's a simple comparison:
B2C e-commerce: One-click purchase for a single item
B2B inventory system: Multi-step process for bulk orders with approvals

Solution?

I tackled that by building a technical team of product designers and researchers with PhDs.

Our expertise helps you:

- Understand users through research
- Create data-driven concepts
- Design user-friendly interfaces
- Build scalable design systems
- Ensure smooth handoff to developers

Using this approach, we've helped B2B SaaS companies:

- Create MVPs from scratch and raise $5 to $20m in funding
- Scale and improve their complex platforms iteratively
- Increased conversion rate by 400%

To take things further, I'm building an AI product (UX Pilot AI) to streamline the UX process for (our) product- and design teams.

Figma AI is practically dead

In the meantime, with UX Pilot you can generate designs and components directly inside Figma

Unlike other AI tools:
- It's not limited to a few predefined styles
- It's not limited to a few components
- It's not limited to only mobile

Free trials don’t kill revenue, but bad products do

When we launched UX Pilot AI, we ignored the advice to hide everything behind a paywall

We were generous from day one
People could actually try the product
Use it how they please
Feel the difference

And something interesting happened

They didn’t stay free for long
Most upgraded right away
Others within a few hours

Not because of discounts
Not because of pressure
Because the value was obvious

Today, UX Pilot has grown to 14k paid users on that model

The lesson?
If your product solves a real problem
You don’t need to “convince” people to pay
You just need to let them experience it

Paywalls don’t create value
But products do

And free trials don’t kill revenue
They simply expose the truth

This is how top UX designers are 10x-ing their productivity in 2026

After interviewing hundreds of UX designers we discovered one thing

They don’t start by perfecting screens
They start by generating one wireframe
And then they just iterate from there

With UX Pilot AI, pros use Variations to instantly spin multiple layout options, and Blitz Mode to generate up to 4 wireframe variations in under 15 seconds

Buttons move, layouts shift, and structures evolve instantly

This lets designers see how different decisions change the experience 
Without rebuilding anything from scratch

The result?
> Faster iteration
> More exploration
> Less friction.

In just 2 clicks
You get 4 variations

This is effortless ideation
And this is how wireframing becomes a creative accelerator

After analyzing how designers use UX Pilot, one thing became obvious:

The difference between “nice screens” and great UI/UX comes down to how you use the tool.

Here are the 7 UX Pilot AI performance hacks that change everything 👇

𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤 #1: 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐢𝐱𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐅𝐢𝐠𝐦𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐔𝐗 𝐏𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐭
Generate a design once. Then use section edits to tweak small parts. Change spacing. Adjust hierarchy. No more pixel dragging, just write down your instructions. This is where UX Pilot gets ridiculously fast.

𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤 #2: 𝐁𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞… 𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞
There’s no single “right” prompt. Sometimes you want freedom: “Design a playful onboarding flow for a fintech app”. Sometimes you want control: “Onboarding screen, single column, progress indicator on top, primary CTA at the bottom”. Try both. Each shines in different moments.

𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤 #3: 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥
Upgrade your design language: Clean Minimalist. Modern SaaS. Corporate Modern. Premium Dark Mode. Luxury / High End. Glassmorphism. Digital Brutalism. Illustrative. The more precise your style vocabulary, the better UX Pilot can follow your direction

𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤 #4: 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲
Want consistency? Set brand colors. Choose fonts. Customize a theme. Upload brand guidelines. Sync UX Pilot with your Figma Design System. Do this once and every generation stays on brand. No more visual roulette.

𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤 #5: 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐳 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
Designs generate in around 10 seconds with Blitz Mode. So use that speed. Test multiple prompts. Explore variations. Compare directions side by side. Take the best out of fast exploration.

𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤 #6: 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩
Quick idea or rough feedback? Turn Deep Design off. Complex flows, dashboards, or systems? Turn Deep Design and Max on. Depth is a lever, so use it intentionally.

𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤 #7: 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 → 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰 → 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐩𝐩
Nail one screen first. Then click Autoflow. UX Pilot expands that screen into full flows while keeping layout, style, and brand consistent. This is how you scale design without losing coherence.

The truth? UX Pilot doesn’t replace designers. 

It rewards the ones who think in systems, intent, and direction.

Which hack are you stealing first? 👀

In a platform where most brag about success, it is good to remember:

The first Sam Altman project was Loopt. Not OpenAI.
The first Mark Zuckerberg project was ZuckNet. Not Facebook.
The first Steve Jobs project with Woz was the Blue Box. Not the Macintosh.
The first Elon Musk company was Zip2. Not Tesla.
The first Reed Hastings company was Pure Software. Not Netflix.
The first Marc Andreessen project was Mosaic. Not Netscape.
The first Evan Williams product was Blogger at Pyra Labs. Not Twitter.
The first Stewart Butterfield world was Game Neverending. Not Slack.
The first Daniel Ek company was Advertigo. Not Spotify.
The first Kevin Systrom app was Burbn. Not Instagram.
The first Reid Hoffman company was SocialNet. Not LinkedIn.
The first Patrick Collison company was Auctomatic. Not Stripe.
The first Vitalik Buterin project was Bitcoin Magazine. Not Ethereum.
The first Travis Kalanick startup was Scour. Not Uber.

Your first will not be your best.
But it is the only way to get there.

Junior Product Designer | Little Place Labs 🛰️

I’m a product designer at Little Place Labs, a US-based spacetech startup focused on building clarity in complex products.

Over time, I’ve realized that strong design doesn’t come from polished screens alone; it comes from good judgment. And good judgment is built by questioning decisions, understanding trade-offs, and thinking things through, often out loud.

That’s what led me to start Shameless Product Thinking.

It’s a practice where I break down real products I use, audit flows honestly, ask basic (sometimes uncomfortable) questions, and share my thinking publicly, even when it’s incomplete. Not to prove I’m right, but to get better.

I’m intentionally leaning into:

- UX audits and real product analysis
- learning in public through posts and comments
- sharing perspective, not just outcomes
- improving judgment faster through feedback and debate

At work, I design with engineers (and have been trying vibe coding recently), product managers, and stakeholders to solve real problems under real constraints. Outside work, I study products with the same seriousness because that’s where most of the learning happens.

If you care about thoughtful product decisions, honest critique, and designers who are still actively sharpening their thinking, you’ll probably enjoy the conversations here.

📩 Open to discussion, feedback, and collaboration.
