The Best Product Design Team Blogs, (Updated for 2019)
A couple years ago I gathered the best design teams on Medium. I wanted to update the list (and expand out beyond just looking at Medium) because I think many design students and any curious design professionals look to best-in-class for inspiration and learning.
While I’d hesitate to call this an exhaustive list, I certainly tried my best to gather every blog I could find from the best product design teams in the industry. How do I determine the best teams? I used a very scientific method of starting with products I really like, then found a lot of other popular teams I hear about. Science!
I’m happy to see so many teams blogging about their process, projects and philosophies (although I was disappointed to find so many are inactive). The writings are typically skewed towards more mature product teams but I think that’s a good thing. There are plenty of people writing about design (ahem, yours truly) but I personally find a lot of value in learning from the best. I hope this guide is helpful and if there are any missing let me know in the comments!
I wanted the list to be fairly comprehensive but as I dug into the blogs, many more were inactive than I anticipated. So here’s a shortcut for the active ones:
- Airbnb
- Atlassian
- Dropbox
- Shopify
