YOU
You are choosing to work with people who believe in doing the right thing. You challenge the status quo and expect the same integrity and accountability (you have) from those around you.

ME
I’m a constructive idealist—bold enough to challenge outdated systems, yet grounded in making authenticity, impact, and trust commercially viable. With a background as a creative director, CMO, and consultant, I combine strategic thinking, sharp people instincts, and fearless storytelling to push brands and leaders to be both real and revolutionary.

I’m running 13 people through my new cohort. Meanwhile, I personally ran through all seven stages of an existential crisis.

Had a full 4-day anxiety spiral + impostor syndrome trial version that included:

“I suck. Shut it all down. Become a florist.”

I didn’t need a tranquilizer, but let’s just say the option wasn’t off the table.

Mistake #1:
I called it a Sprint.

Someone later corrected me:
“Sandra… this is an INTENSIVE.”

😃 

Mistake #2:
People were (and still are) REALLY invested.

I completely miscalculated how the structure of the cohort
would directly impact their emotions.

It is beautiful.
And terrifying (weight of responsibility).

Like watching human nature under a microscope.

But here’s the biggest upside:

From inside that meltdown of mine I had ...
I finally see clearly what people struggle with at scale with social media. 

And where any of us can help, and can not help.

So I wrote a mini report.

If you enjoy my content, I also have a newsletter: https://lnkd.in/eVyiJhHA

The Game is Psychological 

In my region, we have a term for that forehead vein that pops out when someone is being ridiculous: “žila glupača”. Literally, the stupidity vein.

It activates when:

→ you enter a dumb conversation
→ face someone with zero critical thinking
→ you’re smiling on the outside, screaming inside
→ when you listen to someone who complains for sports

Nothing works.
Everything is hard.
Life is unfair.

…and suddenly you feel the pressure rising in your forehead.

My stupidity vein activates at point #4.

What about yours?

P.S.: In my newsletter, I answer your questions every Sunday: https://lnkd.in/eVyiJhHA

13 points of a reality check

Brian Berkenstock was the first one to go. By the end of his story, I remember glancing at Olga and Humaira — all three of us were right on the edge of the ugly cry in front of everyone (my cohort).

:D

I’m so proud of Brian.

He’s one of the kindest, most grounded, and most deserving people I know.

Deserving of success.

Humble.
Patient.
Good to the core.

(And let’s not forget: elite-level emotional regulation :D)

Always your cheerleader, Brian.

May you keep creating beautiful words —
and shaping the world we all get to live in.

Your offer’s confusing | I make it clear and memorable | This means positioning, branding, and messaging that connects | Cats can be fuzzy, your offer cannot

There's no HOOK for today's post.
Just some...hesitation.

I'm doing something a bit out of the ordinary for me.
Sharing a personal story.
(With the help of Sandra Macele and her Authority cohort!)

I've been trying to walk a delicate line on LinkedIn.

On one side is BUSINESS.
On the other is SOCIAL.

The biz side is a piece of cake.

I have oodles of experience.
A solid offer.
And killer testimonials.

The personal/social side has been a challenge.

I like the social sharing aspect of LinkedIn.
And getting to know people beyond their banners.
But I don't like "trauma dumping." 
Which feels both revealing and artificial at the same time.

I first need some guardrails for myself.
Here's where I landed...

I'll try to share stories to inspire or help us look at things in a new light.

Let me know how I did.

What if everyone who rejected you was actually... right?

Hear me out.

My granny flew 5,000 miles to tell me I was ruining my life.
My professor compared me to an alcoholic.
My friends said my work wasn't worth $10.

They were all correct.

I spent years trying to conform.
Until my same rejected work sold for 6X more...to strangers.

The rejection was never about me.

This changed how I see every "NO" forever →

Finding Value in Rejection

This lady here 👇 sent me a very nice message Friday evening. 

“Hi, hello hello!
I’ve been nominated to ”Empower Her Woman of the Year”. …”

“… This ”Bad Good Girl” has something very appealing and recognisable in it. Big thanks for that!”…”

(Shortened message)

I am extremely proud of Annika Mohlin 🌱 

Even though I did help her with messaging, the key ingredients are the following:

- she breathes for her “Bad Good Girls”
- she’s a remarkable networker
- she’s approachable
- she’s a talented communicator 
- she has good emotional regulation (this online business requires it)
- she never gave up

The messaging alone can be a huge help, but YOU need to be the person, who is “obsessed with people you serve” first. 

No branding and messaging solutions can give you that. 

Hugs to Sweden and all the Bad Good Girls. I am one too 🤗

”Stort grattis! Du är nominerad till Årets Empower Her kvinna. Vill du acceptera nomineringen?”

Ja men det är väl klart som attan att jag vill!

Någon har tänkt på mig och det jag bidrar med – det betyder SÅ mycket. Känner mig glad, stolt, rörd och överraskad (lite som när man hittar en kantarell ☺️).

För mig handlar mitt arbete om att stärka kvinnor i självledarskap, inifrån och ut. Jag vill att fler ska skaka av sig den ”duktiga flickan” och en gång för alla landa i att det inte är fel eller fult eller själviskt att prioritera sig själv.

Utan tvärtom: det är från den platsen vi kan vara ”våra bästa jag”. Det är där hållbart ledarskap börjar 💛

Så att få en nominering som handlar om mod, styrka och systerskap – W🤩W. Rena superinjektionen för att fortsätta med det jag gör!

Tack Anna-Maria och tack alla som ser, lyfter och stöttar kvinnor. Det är en av byggstenarna till ett mer jämställt och mångfaldigt samhälle.

I know for the last week you've seen changes on my feed and some have reached out expressing the "concern" around my changed content (you miss my carousels).

However, I am running my first 2 rounds of cohorts which I want to perfect for the future ... 

... and part of the responsibility I took on myself is to support people who enrolled and trust me to guide them.

For you, it might not mean I lot.

For me, I am proud of these people and work they are sharing, because I know how many insecurities they had to overcome in a very short period of time.

This is Humaira Akhter ☕️

The best way you can support me, is to read her story and transfer that support on her if you feel connection.

Thank you for being on this path with me.

Money Psychologist + Financial Coach ➜ I help women transform your relationship with money through psychology

We all have a story we inherited—from our families, our cultures, our experiences.

But at some point, we get to decide whether that story still fits us.
Whether it still serves us.
Or whether it deserves a rewrite.

Here is what I've learned: you don’t have to reject what formed you to grow into who you’re meant to be.

Transformation begins the moment you stop asking for permission and start living on your own terms.

Let's turn your design dreams into reality!

Nasir Uddin

We’re aiming to open 3 more branches around the world. 

Feels unreal to even say that.

Because not long ago, we were a tiny team.
A team with dreams bigger than our resources.

- No fancy office.
- No big investors.
- No strong roadmap.

Just passion.
And trust in each other.

We started small.
We failed.
We learned.
We improved.
We kept going.

Today, Musemind - Global UX Design Agency is growing fast.

Stronger than ever.
Smarter than ever.
Better than ever.

But it’s not about me.
It’s about our people:

- Designers.
- Developers.
- Thinkers.
- Doers.

Every single one of them:

Took ownership.
Worked hard.
Believed.
Made it happen.

To my team… thank you for:

- Standing by the vision.
- Pushing when things got tough.
- Turning challenges into victories.

2026 will be special.

More branches.
More faces.
More milestones.

And this is just the beginning.

The best is yet to come.

PS: If you’re building something from scratch, keep going.
The sleepless nights will make sense one day.
The hard days will turn into stories.
And you’ll smile knowing it was all worth it.

CEO @Musemind - Leading UX Design Agency for Top Brands | 350+ Happy Clients Worldwide → $4.5B Revenue impacted | Business Consultant

“Traditional UX laws are dead.”

There. I said it.

2026 is not about:

↳ Wireframes
↳ Usability
↳ Or pretty interfaces anymore.

It’s about intelligence.
It’s about collaboration.
It’s about humans and AI sharing control.

The UX world just shifted.

We no longer design for users alone.
We design for users and their digital agents.
AI now:

- Predicts
- Plans
- And even acts.

Our job?

To make that interaction human again.

That’s why we built the 8 new laws of UX for 2026.
Each one reflects a real shift caused by AI-driven design.

You’ll see how:

- Interfaces now anticipate user needs.
- Flows must adapt to context, not just screen size.
- Clarity and trust matter more than ever.
- Micro iterations beat long design cycles.
- And ethical AI design becomes the new UX baseline.

These aren’t theories.
They’re survival rules.

Because the truth is simple.

AI didn’t kill UX.
It upgraded it.

Designers who evolve will lead.
Those who don’t will fade.

So if you’re a designer, researcher, or founder…

Study these laws.
Rethink how you build.

Because in 2026, every click is a collaboration.

PS: I made this infographic as a clear snapshot of how AI is reshaping UX design.
Save it, share it, and use it to guide your next product decision.

Stop blaming the market.

The truth is painful.

Most designers just are not hire-ready yet.
Harsh. 
Yes.

But also fixable.

This carousel is not magic.
It is:

- Mindset.
- Discipline.
- Intentional preparation.

Not random applying.

Most beginners chase portfolios.
Smart beginners study hiring.

Recruiters move fast.
They filter faster.
They choose clarity over creativity.

Your portfolio is not the website.
It is the decisions inside it.

Your case study is not a novel.
It is a proof of thinking.

Your outreach is not begging.
It is a communication skill.

Winning a job is a UX process.

Recruiters are your users.
Interviews are tests.
Rejections are data.
Iteration wins here.


It will feel slow first.
Then it gets fast.

Momentum comes after discipline.
One yes changes everything.
Your turn is coming.

Swipe all the slides.

Study.
Apply.
Repeat.

Comment if you want a starter portfolio checklist.
Save this for your 30-day plan.
Share this with a junior designer.
Follow for more UX career lessons.

PS: No one is coming to save your career.
But you can build it step by step.
And I am here to help.

World’s Shortest UX Career Plan!

UX design is dying in 2026?!

But not in the way you think.

The screens we design for today?
They’ll soon disappear.

Because UX is shifting from what we see to what we feel.

In 2026, design won’t live inside a screen.
It’ll live in moments.
In emotions.
In invisible interactions.

Here’s what’s coming:

- Zero UI.
- AI-assisted design.
- Emotion-driven experiences.

Designers won’t just design interfaces.
We’ll design intelligence.
We’ll design feelings.

No more click-based journeys.
No more flat visuals.
No more lifeless minimalism.

2026 is all about:

- Smarter AI.
- Human-centered emotion.
- Interfaces that disappear into real life.

So, if you’re still focused only on screens…
You might be designing for the past.

👇 Check out my latest carousel to see what’s next for UX in 2026.

UI/UX Design Trends 2026

I haven’t shared an R&D breakdown in a while…

So let’s make this one worth your scroll.

We just redesigned a SaaS service-booking flow..
and the difference feels like switching from chaos to clarity.

Here’s what we focused on:

1. Cut the cognitive load by simplifying the entire service list
2. Made availability + pricing visible at a glance
3. Reduced the booking friction to almost zero
4. Improved hierarchy so users always know what to do next

And honestly…

This might be one of our cleanest, most intuitive UX revamps this year.

I love projects like this because they remind me of one thing:

Good design isn’t about adding more.
It’s about removing everything that slows the user down.

If you're building a SaaS product, study this.
Your users will thank you later.

PS: This is just ONE part of the full case study.
If you want the complete breakdown, I might drop it soon 👀

This one dashboard can change investor decisions forever.

Here is a mini breakdown of our process.

Most dashboards feel:

- Messy.
- Crowded.
- Stressful.

Bad dashboards confuse users.
Great dashboards guide users with ease.

Here are 6 steps we used to design this one:

1. We mapped every user intent clearly.
2. We simplified the full investment journey.
3. We created a clean visual hierarchy.
4. We kept every chart simple to read.
5. We added clear feedback for every action.
6. We designed fast scanning for busy investors.

Look, you do not need complex dashboards.
You need a:

Clear one.
Calm one.
Confident one.

The best SaaS tools follow this idea.

Simplify data.
Guide users.
Remove friction.
Build trust.

That is what this dashboard aims to do.

It shows real value clearly.
It highlights profits with balance.
It presents insights with clarity.
It supports smart decisions fast.

Almost like this post.

If you want to see how our team plans, builds and shapes high impact UI UX for SaaS products

I share this process often.

PS: Which part of this dashboard impressed you most?

Most designers don’t have a “design problem.”

They have a “no-system” problem.

Sounds harsh.
But it’s true.

Good visual design isn’t talent.

It’s not luck or magic.

It’s a system.

A clear.
Simple.
Repeatable system.

And once you follow it?
Your work becomes:

- Cleaner.
- Faster.
- More consistent.

That’s why I made this carousel.

Inside it, you’ll see:

- The 5 steps I use daily
- The same structure we follow at Musemind
- The formula that makes any layout look “premium”
- And why simple decisions create the biggest results

Nothing complex.
Nothing fancy.
Just a system you can use today.

If you want your design to look good and feel good,
Start with these 5 steps.

Your future self will thank you.

Good Visual Design  in 5 Steps

Last week I got a message requesting a job!!

(and I realized something.)

Most people do not struggle with skills.
They struggle with presentation.

The message said
"I need a job. I can design. Please hire me."

- No intro.
- No context.
- No portfolio.

Just a request.

And it made me think.

Designers often spend months learning tools.

- Figma.
- AI.
- Prototyping.
- Wireframes.

But they forget the real skill.
Communication.

In the real world
Skill alone does not win.

Visibility does.
Clarity does.
Confidence does.

If you want to get hired
Show:

- Who you are.
- What you can do.
- How you think.

Give context.
Give value.
Tell your story.

Hiring is not a charity.
It is a decision to trust someone with a dream.

So the question is not
"Do you need a job?"

The real question is
"Can you make someone believe you are the right one?"

I always say this to my team.

Design gets attention.
Communication gets opportunities.
And mindset builds careers.

Work on all three.
Not just one.

Your skills can open the door.
Your communication keeps you in the room.

Want to grow your design career faster?
Drop a ❤️ and hit follow.

I share real lessons.
I share what actually works.
And I want you to win.

I helped hundreds of UX designers get hired.

Here’s the exact 3-stage system you can follow 👇

Stage 1: Get Noticed
This is where 90% fail.

A beautiful portfolio isn’t enough.
It must scream clarity in 5 seconds.

Recruiters scan for:
↳ Clear positioning
↳ Strong hero projects
↳ Instantly understandable case studies

No confusion. No guessing games.
Just instant “This designer gets it.”

Stage 2: Build Trust
Now they zoom in.

This is where thinking beats aesthetics.

They look for:
↳ Your problem-solving logic
↳ Your design decisions
↳ Proof of real impact

Pretty screens attract.
Clear process convinces.

This is what turns curiosity into confidence.

Stage 3: Seal the Deal
Interview time. No slides will save you here.

What wins?
↳ Communication
↳ Mindset
↳ Collaboration energy

Great designers don’t just answer.
They ask smarter questions.

They sound like partners, not applicants.

Design skill + thinking + personality
That’s the hiring formula.

This carousel breaks it down slide by slide.
No fluff. Just what actually works.

If you’re a UX designer (or know one),
this might change their career.

Save this for later.

How UX Designers Get Hired

Building an 8-figure design agency isn’t luck.

It’s a process.
It’s a structure.
It’s the stack you rely on every single day.

First comes research.
Because design without research is guessing.
And guessing burns money.

We study behavior.
We map journeys.
We see what clicks.
We see what breaks.

Only then do we move forward.

Next comes design.
Not just visuals.
Not just pretty screens.

But flow.
Logic.
Systems.
Consistency.

Every choice must reduce friction.
Every step must guide the user.

Then comes collaboration.
Design is never solo.
It’s collective.

Ideas need feedback.
Concepts need alignment.
Execution needs trust.

When teams align, speed happens.
When speed happens, growth follows.

Then comes productivity.
Structure drives clarity.

Tasks must be defined.
Deadlines must be realistic.
Communication must be sharp.

A disorganized team cannot build clean products.

And finally, innovation.

Because the world won’t wait.
Technology won’t wait.
Clients won’t wait.

New methods emerge every week.

Some vanish.
Some thrive.

But ignoring them isn’t an option.

An agency that stops learning stops scaling.
And one that stops scaling doesn’t last.

This is how we run.
This is how we scale.
This is how we build experiences that matter.

Not by chance.
Not by magic.
But by stacking the right pillars.

Step by step.
Layer by layer.

If you were building your own design agency today,
What would be the first pillar in your stack?

Most users don’t hate bad products.

They hate bad experiences.

And honestly, that’s on us.
Designers, not users. 
We:

- Overthink visuals.
- Overlook emotions.
- Chase trends.
- And forget real people.

Our R&D team decided to fix that.
We built this concept to prove it.

Simple. 
Calm. 
Human.

Every section has a purpose.
Every action feels natural.
Every click feels understood.

That’s what design should be about.

Not pixels.
Not layouts.
But feelings.

We tested this idea on a skincare site.
And the results were incredible.
Users felt guided, not confused.

Because good UX doesn’t demand attention.
It earns it.

PS: I’ll break down the UX hacks behind this soon.
Follow to catch the full story.

Most UX designers don’t fail from lack of talent.

They because of something else.

You can:

Design amazing screens.
Craft perfect case studies.
Even land dream clients.

But without structure, it all collapses.

See, a UX career isn’t luck.
It’s a system:

- Repeatable
- Scalable
- Measurable 

That’s what these 8 frameworks are about.

They turn random progress into predictable growth.
They make:

Learning intentional.
Feedback useful.
Visibility natural.

If you ever feel stuck in UX,
revisit these frameworks.

They’ll remind you why you started.
And how to keep moving forward.

Which of these 8 frameworks fits your current stage?
Drop the number below. 
Let’s discuss.

Only 12% of prototypes impress premium clients.

Not because the UI is ugly.
But because the logic is missing.

Most designers jump into Figma too early.
They:

Polish pixels before planning logic.
Chase beauty before building clarity.

That’s why projects fall apart fast.

Premium prototypes aren’t about fancy visuals.

They’re about real structure and thought.
They show how your mind works.
They prove you think like a partner.

Clients don’t want eye candy.
They want:

- Confidence in your process.
- To see real thinking.
- To feel logic behind design.

In this carousel, I break it down.
Step by step, from rough to premium.

You’ll learn to think like a strategist.
You’ll design flows that feel effortless.

Start rough.
Map logic.
Add data.
Test small loops.
Then go hi-fi.

That’s how:

Premium prototypes are made.
Clients trust your design.
Projects scale faster.

Save this carousel for your next project.
It’ll save hours of confusion later.
And it’ll make your work stand out.

Repost if you want more designers to learn. 💪

PS: A prototype is not decoration.
It’s your thinking on display.
Design logic first, and beauty follows naturally.

How to Prototype Premium Projects

UX isn’t competitive.

Your approach is just lazy.

I’ve seen this again and again.

Pretty UI. Fancy animations. Zero direction.

So here’s the exact career system every UX designer should follow 👇

Stage 1: Build Foundation
This is where 80% already fail.

They chase tools instead of thinking.

Real growth starts with:
↳ One strong portfolio, not 10 weak ones
↳ Deep UX basics, not trend-hopping
↳ Original thinking, not Dribbble cloning

A designer without fundamentals
is just decorating screens.

Stage 2: Build Credibility
Now you stop looking like a beginner.

This is where serious designers separate.

Focus on:
↳ Daily practice, not occasional bursts
↳ Business understanding, not just visuals
↳ Real feedback, not silent perfection

Great UX doesn’t just look good.
It makes sense.
And it makes money.

Stage 3: Build Authority
This is where careers take off.

Not overnight.
But intentionally.

You grow by:
↳ Communicating ideas clearly
↳ Learning from real products
↳ Choosing your niche over time
↳ Staying patient when others quit

Skill > hype.
Always.

Mastering UX interviews is NOT about your portfolio.

(And yes, this will annoy a lot of designers.)

But hear me out.

Most designers spend 95% of their time polishing case studies…
…and only 5% preparing for the actual interview.

That’s why they freeze.

That’s why they ramble.
That’s why they can’t explain their decisions under pressure.

So let me clear the air:

→ Your portfolio gets you IN the room.
→ Your interview SYSTEM gets you HIRED.

Here’s the simple cycle I use (and teach) to turn interviews into predictable wins:

1. Identify gaps
Weak storytelling? 
No metrics? 
Unclear impact? 

Pick one and fix it first.

2. Analyze requirements
Study the job description. 
Ask: what does this company actually care about?

3. Create your stories
Structured, repeatable, clear. 
Role → Process → Challenge → Outcome.

4. Practice delivery
Out loud. Not in your head.
Whiteboard challenges. 
Behavioral questions. 
Portfolio walkthroughs.

5. Measure the results
After every interview, write what worked and what didn’t.
Make it measurable.

6. Standardize the system
If something works, turn it into a template.
Your intro, your case studies, your answers. 
Systemize everything.

People think interviews are about “performing.”
They’re not.
They’re about reducing unpredictability.

And a system removes 90% of the uncertainty.

USE THIS (if you're preparing for interviews)

1. Pick ONE skill to improve this week.

Storytelling? 
Confidence? 
Whiteboard? 
Choose one.

2. Set ONE measurable metric.
Example: Raise confidence from 5 → 8.

3. Track it visibly.
Checklist. Board. 
Simple weekly summary.

P.S. What’s the ONE thing you always mess up in interviews?
Mine? Over-explaining when a 10-second answer would’ve done.

Your promotion depends on how you use AI.

Read more if you disagree.

Most designers fear AI.
The top designers use it.

AI is not the threat.
Staying the same is.

AI helps you:

- Move faster.
- Stay smart.
- Stay strategic.
- Stay valuable.

AI gives clarity.
You give judgment.

AI finds patterns.
You find meaning.

AI builds drafts.
You build decisions.

This is why AI-powered designers grow faster.
With better:

Outcomes.
Speed.
Opportunities.

Your edge is simple.

Use AI as support.
Not as a shortcut.
Not as a replacement.
Not as a crutch.

AI helps.
You lead.

That is how promotions happen now.
The future belongs to designers who adapt early.
