Helen Tran was an early designer at Shopify and is now leading product design at AngelList. But in between those two roles she also ran her own startup for three years. So the goal of this conversation is to figure out how that period of time impacted her design practice so we can all learn how to design with a founder’s mindset. In this episode we discuss:

- How Helen is approaching design leadership differently this time around

- How Helen constructors hypotheses to influence product strategy

- Why Helen made sacrifices to her production skills

- The keys to designing in a pre-PMF company

- The #1 way to help founders

- + a lot more
