Design foundations

First design hireShawn Farsai
First product hireAatish Nayak

Together, Aatish and I spent many hours jamming at the whiteboard to figure out Harvey's design. We drew the lines for what is a product vs what is a feature, found the main interaction patterns that clicked for users, and defined the core information architecture.

Just like how a frontend engineer is lucky to have a strong designer. A designer is lucky to have a strong product manager. Those whiteboard sessions and late slack messages have been some of the most rewarding parts of my time at Harvey. Those are the hours that will have shaped Harvey for years to come.
