How To DESIGN EVERYTHING if you don't know ANYTHING | Design for Startups

[@TheKiller2064]

i cant believe that this kind of content is free, we love you Garry

[@GarryTan]

Thanks Carlos!

[@BlakeTedKord]

@@GarryTan Can you make a series on how startups even start building, like logistically? And what is the language used by investors like acquisitions, MMR, ARR, etc I don’t think a lot of people know any of that stuff. Also how to get funding and the risks behind every decision making door along the way Basically I would be asking steps to even build a small business and operate one right? Or is that different from a startup cuz both need operations, legal team, marketing, accounting, finance department, executive board, then production team...etc. Idk, if you could make a series or someone’s Channel that goes over this or a website that has ALL this info with the current TYPES of companies as well as upcoming ones in real time that’s well organized?

[@advocate1472]

Me in my room, trying to design a page layout for my startup concept at 11: 45 pm facing what you call designers block, and then this video pops up.

[@GarryTan]

Perfect! Glad to be helpful.

[@damianrogaczewski]

It’s beyond my understanding why this channel didn’t blow up yet. Awesome value for free. What a time to be alive.

[@ohislawrence481]

I don't really design frontend, I spent over 15 hours searching for a good template for my homepage... Finally I got one to work with, simple and straight to the point.

[@yamilletrivas8041]

I don’t know the universe makes this happen- but just as I am researching a career jump into Product design- you share this post! Love it! You are definitely my biggest mentor!

[@GarryTan]

That is awesome!

[@dinkatesso9133]

I can't believe ppl aren't subscribing to this channel. It's among the channels with great contents on YT I have ever come across so far! Thank you so much Sir.

[@josetibus4786]

For someone that uses design in marketing, your points surprisingly made me say "Aha". Particularly the third point where every designer should illuminate the users' path. Great, Garry👍

[@GarryTan]

Thanks Jose!

[@curiouspreetam]

I am always curious to learn and I love to learn because whn I don't learn I feel like I am just turning my brain into a dustbin and I don't feel like having fun I learned editing + logo design made my own logo + Adobe illustrator + Dancing + Sketching + 4 Languages + I hated books but now I love business books + after my exam I will start to learn Python ( AND EVERYTHING I LEARNE IS FROM KZbin AND UDEMY)

[@GarryTan]

Exactly! Everything you can learn for free or cheap online.

[@curiouspreetam]

@@GarryTan yes only thing you need is curiocity and hunger and little bit of emotional brain amygdala to make the imprint of what you learn stronger in your brain

[@TheGeorgegenesis]

I repeat, this is premium quality content on KZbin, so direct, so smooth and so understandable. This relates to all of design and not just software engineering design. Thanks Garry, keep up the great work.

[@GarryTan]

Glad you like it!

[@TheGeorgegenesis]

@@GarryTan like it, I love it, your point one was like you were speaking to me directly. Being a backend engineer, it's easy to say 'ohh design isn't my thing', but thanks for that point it really helps me de-label myself from such thoughts. 👍

[@eganfuego]

Dude you are amazing for sharing this gold with us for free. Hope to report back in due time with the testimony of my success.

[@vaibhavdangofficial]

This is the smartest video I have seen on KZbin so far. This channel is highly underrated.

[@GarryTan]

Thank you! Just getting started.

[@vaibhavdangofficial]

@@GarryTan Would love to see more content like this!

[@andreslaley]

Garry is a venture Capitalist, he save money and then invest in startups and he does not say to the people to carry a labels... he encourage the people to be what ever they want that is capitalism and is amazing 🤩 I love this Capitalist channel that teach me how to make money and in the future be also a venture Capitalist like Garry.

[@GarryTan]

Well the system is what it is, but there are certain truths that allow you to move more freely within the system.

[@raulcame3880]

Gary, I found you when you had subs in the teens... I've been loving every minute of it... you are my inspiration in my own journey.

[@GarryTan]

Wow, thank you!

[@patricksamy]

That was awesome Garry! No BS, simple & accessible. I learned a lot as a non-designer who has been doing design everyday for 2 years.

[@GarryTan]

So glad that was helpful!

[@youssef_houmazen]

The best of the best ... I'm ready to pay for this content. Thanks for making it free!

[@GarryTan]

Enjoy! Always free.

[@chrishallnyc]

Loved this one garry! My favorite lesson was learning to be really hard on myself about getting rid of visual elements that don’t matter. Simplicity can be beautiful and fast!

[@GarryTan]

Much thanks to you and your team Chris!

[@SuhelBrar]

I personally think this was the best video yet.. really valuable content!

[@MarkFeng]

This is gold my friend! Currently building an app without hiring a professional “UI” designer. Will put your lessons to use! I also recommend Don Norman’s “The Design of Everyday Things” which expands on what you cover. Keep it up brother!

[@GarryTan]

Fantastic! That's a great add.

[@SunnyOfficialYT]

I've never watched a video of someone talking that made the hair on the back of my neck and body stand. The section on de-label yourself literally gave me chills as if I listened to a musical masterpiece. Thank you

[@mehdikanny2061]

Thanks, Garry for sharing, while watching I was thinking about how to implement every step on my startup.

[@dougward5543]

Who I'm going to, when I create something worth his, and, most importantly, the users time :) Consistently great content from a gent. Appreciated.

[@GarryTan]

Thank you!

[@DaLakersFan24]

Really good, I'm impressed. I'm a startup founder who ran away from design bc I thought I was not qualified.

[@GarryTan]

You're good, just practice

[@xavier.7371]

Smoookkesss!!!! The first few minutes were mind blowing.

[@flamingjob2]

thank you so much garry! you and justin kan are the new age billionaire startup youtubers that provide so much insight that no one would give for free. thank you so much from the deepest of my heart!

[@KevinGChiu]

I like the colon example. So small but so instructional.

[@larry6h23]

but then 5 seconds later. Step 5 ":" Create something great. Sorry, I am picky.....

[@supadickhead]

I just learned some of these principles in a UX course that i’m studying

[@acavals8080]

When we have an idea (and we believe it's a great idea) it's so easy to forget that what looks amazing for you, may be terrible complicated for others. Thanks Garry.

[@tejaskumthekar4155]

Great content, Garry! Also, "Design for Startups" talk given at YC was mind-blowing - I still have notes from that talk :)

[@GarryTan]

Thanks I need to refresh the longer talk!

[@van-excelacheampong1779]

Hey Garry, do you have a link to that talk?

[@LukePighetti]

Gary, your channel is a diamond in the rough. Would love to hear more from you on this exact topic. You could make a video expanding on each point and I would watch every one of them.

[@GarryTan]

Great suggestion!

[@oleeg3336]

*Thank you Garry* _creating contrast_ is my learning from this video. I will definitely apply it everywhere!

[@GarryTan]

Perfect!

[@karrazum21]

Your content is wonderful I learned to much for my startup.

[@GarryTan]

Thanks for watching Angelo!

[@waymanharris1284]

De-Lable yourself... This terminology far exceeds the development process. #AnotherGreatVideo #GoodWork

[@seanshaf]

I didn't think this video was going to be good..but it was AMAZING. Thanks.

[@GarryTan]

Wow, thanks!

[@aditya.mankare]

This guy is the real deal

[@IanMadridPh]

Thank you Garry for keeping your content highly achievable for us mortals

[@BugDrivenExplorer]

I can’t believe we’re able to watch this, feels like top secret content

[@mattgiaro]

One of the best videos I came across recently. Love the format, and the actionable advice. Thanks Garry

[@NateSpring]

Jeez Garry, the value you bring to my day is unmatched!

[@GarryTan]

Thanks Nate!

[@ghpkishore]

Really appreciate this video! Given that i am designing for my own startup, and that my prototype had very bad UI to it, this will ensure that I can get better output this time around. :D

[@ghpkishore]

Also, I was actively searching for design videos for SaaS startups. This was a good find

[@gustavobio]

This is very quickly becoming my favorite channel.

[@handsin8007]

Thank you Gary for making me a better entrepreneur!

[@GarryTan]

My pleasure!!

[@thierrymilard1544]

[@omarashrafhassan]

Thank you Garry for making this video! I felt the energy coming out of this video and I learned a lot in 15 minutes.

[@GarryTan]

Thank you for watching!

[@yue62]

Great content! As a student founder who newly started, I am really grateful for you sharing these knowledge. However, I am just thinking, it would be really awesome if these knowledge could be summarized in more condensed or written form ;)

[@GarryTan]

Oh yeah check out blog.initialized.com next week.

[@ahmedadly]

Awesome! that's really great Garry, you made critical design principles easy and digestible for everyone

[@GarryTan]

Glad you liked it

[@mohdjibly6184]

Awesome sharing Gary.....I learnt a lot ..thanks

[@DenysLentsov]

It's an art to compress so much information in 14 minutes! Special thanks for chindogu )) I've first heard about this term last week. It was our homework to figure out such invention as an example of product people will never use. Great excersize by the way.

[@GarryTan]

My pleasure!

[@DaniyalSaghirDani]

This is super useful information. Thanks again for the superb video

[@GarryTan]

Great lesson,Sir

[@danoblk]

Great video and people who give it thumbs down are haters.

[@GarryTan]

Haha lately I worry if I don't get enough thumbs down then I didn't take enough risk

[@danoblk]

Well, your content and time are worth a thumbs up! You are offering great value; keep them coming. I sent you an invite on LinkedIn as well.

[@sujantkumarkrishnvanshi121]

Love you Garry from the core.. Such great people coming on platforms to help people...Your line *Capable smart human being capable of learning absolutely anything* damn.. Hit me 😎🤩🤩 I'm coming... Maybe I meet you in USA.. love from India ..

[@nittensethi1767]

Half way through the video. Already love it . Thanks 🙂👍

[@meesvandeburgt3525]

Design really is a mindset, accompanied by practical skills one can learn by doing. You really could have put more emphasis on prototyping and validated learning! Love the videos Garry!

[@ObinnaAkahara]

Adding on to this, I’ve had the privilege of working with an elderly professor on a lot of projects. Here are two key lessons that he’s taught me. 1. “Assume that I don’t know how to turn on my computer” - the Professor While this is obviously not the case, it’s extremely important in removing complexity from your design. If you can put your knowledge and expertise aside for a second and emulate with a totally ”fresh” user, things that are unnecessary and complex almost immediately jump out at you. When you’re designing, cater to the base, unfamiliar and uninitiated user, and it ends up saving you time and effort down the line. 2. Respect the time and energy of your users Your users are busy people with limited time and energy on their hands. Your product/service is bidding for that time and energy. Hence, don’t assume that they will understand once they “think about it”, nobody wants to do that 😅. As much as possible, make things clear, actionable and literal at a glance, like the squint test. Assume that they will spend 5 seconds glancing through your page to determine if your product is even worth their time, and this should follow throughout your designs. I’m still developing these concepts, but yeah ...hopefully they make sense

[@cryptopiggie5228]

love your videos, subscribed right away!

Hahahah! Small world. Cheers for the shoutout Garry. Love the video. Got a new subscriber chief!

Thanks for the sub!

[@mohammedshafeek3751]

Great points, Gary. You nicely covered design thinking in 5 points...

[@ReadyDesignerOne]

Inspiring video. Currently using the lean startup canvas for practise projects but will certainly try out all of your golden nuggets. The reference to Harry Dry is great, I always struggle with text.

[@GarryTan]

Too kind! Thank you!

[@YourCompanyCTO]

THIS TOO DAMN GREAT, GARRY! I mean that from the bottom of my soul. I'm at a point in my life where I'm stuck between engineering and design. How did you know what to prioritize first over the other? Or did you juggle them both at the same time? How can I get clarity between which one I should master first?

[@theaiffice]

As if you made this the moment I needed it. Thanks again Gary!
