Hey 👋
Welcome to this week’s Unicorn Club, and a quick shoutout to the 29 new readers who joined us. You’re in good company.
It’s a lean, curated mix this week. My favourite? The guide to improving design critiques. Well worth a look if your team’s feedback leans more “polite nodding” than practical advice.
If you’ve spotted something worth sharing or have a project to shout about, just reply, I’m always keen to feature community gems.
Enjoy the read and have a cracking week!
Adam at Unicorn Club 🦄
