Evan Brooks

Product designer, Doc Experience

Superpowers:

Drawing out lots of different options quickly

Being thorough about edge cases

Weakness:

Naming my layers & organizing my Figma

Having "strategy” discussions in the abstract... I like staying tangible

Showing my work early enough

Favorite Coda Building Block:

⁠

; Formulas! Formulas. Formulas! Formulas? Formulas... Formul

⁠

Introvert/Extrovert:

I want to be good at:

Drawing out all the edge cases right from the beginning.

Understanding engineering tradeoffs & getting things shipped

I don’t want to be good at:

Illustrating, brand design, marketing

Favorite part of the design process:

I like working through the details of how one feature connects to another... the part after north start explorations, but before speccing tiny details

After it’s done and built, when I see a doc someone has made that uses the feature in a way I never expected. Does this count as part of the design process? I think so.
