THE BALANCE working for clients while running a job-board
FOCUS MATTERS only do what you do best
UX Design &
THE TAKE AWAYS what we learned
LET LIMITATIONS GUIDE YOU constraints drive innovation and force focus
DON’T BUILD SOMETHING FOR PROFIT ONLY people can sense it
AN IDEA BY ITSELF IS WORTH NOTHING it’s the team
that executes that makes the difference
FALL IN LOVE WITH A PROBLEM everything else will follow
People who are passionate about solving a problem, are the
ones who eventually find each other and make it happen. Obrigado - @karinchristen
