What to expect

Unicorn Club is a weekly product design newsletter for people who build and ship digital products. It's curated, but it's not a link list: each read is distilled into the part you actually need to make better calls in your product.

Every item includes the takeaway, why it matters, and what to adopt. You'll get patterns that hold up in real products, shared standards that help teams stay aligned, and shipping habits that keep quality visible while the work is happening. (Typical read time: 5–8 minutes.)

Curated reads, with the point made

Links are only the start. Every pick comes with the takeaway, why it matters, and what to adopt next.

Patterns that hold up in production

Interface patterns that stay clear when real users, real content, and real constraints show up.

Shared standards you can copy

Lightweight rules and conventions your team can repeat, so decisions don't reset every project.

Shipping habits that protect quality

Simple habits that keep quality visible during delivery, not just at the end.

Real examples, not just screenshots

Concrete examples from real products, with enough context to apply the idea properly.

High signal. Zero filler.

No vague inspiration, no recycled trends. Just practical thinking you can use this week.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Unicorn Club for?

Product builders shipping digital products: product designers, design engineers, front-end engineers, and anyone who has to make interface calls that survive contact with reality.

What do you actually send each week?

A curated set of reads, each distilled into: the takeaway, why it matters, and what to adopt. The goal is simple: you finish the email knowing what to do next.

Is it beginner-friendly?

Yes, but it’s not “Design 101”. If you already ship product work (or you’re trying to), it will make you sharper fast.

Is this only for designers?

No. If you build interfaces, review them, implement them, or lead the work around them, it’s for you.

How is Unicorn Club different from other newsletters?

Most newsletters either send links with no context, or they go full essay and ask for your whole evening. Unicorn Club sits in the middle: curated reads, plus the reasoning and the practical next step.

How long does it take to read?

Usually 5–8 minutes. Longer if you choose to dive deeper into the ideas we share.

What kind of topics does it cover?

Anything that affects interface outcomes: interface craft, patterns, content and states, standards, decision-making, and delivery. The through-line is always the same: clearer interfaces, fewer surprises, better shipping.

Will this help me lead and align a team?

Yes. A lot of the value is making decisions legible across roles, so the work stays aligned when things move.

Is it free? Can I unsubscribe?

Free, and yes. Unsubscribing should be a single click, not a negotiation.
