Hey everyone!

Hope your summer is going well, and if you have kids that they aren’t driving you too crazy during the break (we’re definitely ready to ship ours back to school).

We’ve got some fun gifts and benefits lined up for our Design Better premium members, including a giveaway of Steve Portigal’s Interviewing Users book, tickets to the Frostapalooza benefit concert in August, and more.

Interviewing Users book giveaway

If you missed it earlier this month, we interviewed Steve Portigal about the 2nd edition of his book, Interviewing Users. We’re giving away 5 copies of the book to Design Better premium members, so if you’re an existing member (or sign up for a new membership) you can grab your copy below, while they last.

If you’re not a premium member, you can still get a 20% discount on the book by entering “DESIGNBETTER” at checkout.

Frostapalooza Tickets

You may have been a part of our recent AMA with Brad Frost, where we learned that he’s hosting a benefit concert this summer in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on August 17th.

We’ve sponsored 5 tickets to the show for 5 lucky Design Better premium subscribers. The first 5 Design Better premium members who fill out the form below will get a free ticket.

Upcoming AMAs

In August, we’ll be hosting an AMA with Vanessa Cho, Design Partner at Google Ventures.

And next week, join us for an AMA with Leslie Witt, Chief Product and Design Officer at Headspace, as she dives into the world of design leadership and the nuances of designing for mental health and wellbeing. Discover how empathy and innovation drive the creation of effective mental health solutions and gain insights into the future of design in wellness.

When: Monday July 29, 2024 at 10AM PT/1PM ET/5PM GMT

Where: Online via Crowdcast

Tickets are $15, DB+ subscribers attend free.

Become a Design Better premium subscriber for just $7/mo (or $72/yr) and you’ll automatically get access to AMAs every month plus recordings from all our AMAs, as well as discounts and early access to workshops, access to our growing library of books, giveaways (like the ones in this post!), and more.

Design Better Coffee Mug

You may have tried our Design Better Coffee, and if not, just see what our customers have to say:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Even better than an Aeron chair or Dyson vacuum

The perfect coffee for a breezy autumn morning — or any season really! I’m pretty lazy these days, but this special roast transforms my automatic machine with a finished cup as if from the delicate hands of a World Barista Champion. Great coffee, fantastic podcast. Thanks, y’all! —Brad (verified buyer)

We don’t have a merch store (yet!), but we’ll being giving away a coffee mug—or two—to a subscriber who fills out the survey below.

Share a testimonial about Design Better (the show or the coffee) for a chance to win a free mug.
