🔥 Want to fix your Onboarding and Activation? I’m opening just 3 summer slots for my new Onboarding & Activation Design Sprint — a focused 2-week sprint where I work side-by-side with your team to define unique solutions that reduce drop-off and boost activation. Past solutions have delivered 15% to 2× lifts. See how it works →


For the last 8+ years, I trained one of the most helpful habits: analysing product flows through the eyes of a user (and business). Whenever I register in a new product, or see something interesting, I try to analyse that and notice new details, patterns, and industry trends. For this latest asset, I analysed the onboarding journeys from activation gaps to UX wins, broke down what’s working — and what’s not.

This was client-only, and last week I made it public in my LinkedIn post. The post went viral 🫣

I was surprised how many people still need this. In a constant rush of product work, I see how difficult it is for teams to find time to ZOOM OUT — look not just at their product flows from a new perspective, but also look around the industry, learn from competitors, and other best players.

If you wanted this board but haven’t received a DM from me, I’m making this available now for everyone here. The habit that I started more than 10 years ago at the beginning of my career is still with me — and it transformed into a mission to educate a broader community. Thanks for giving me huge support and inspiration to keep creating this educational content 🙏
