In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, I talk with inspiring product design leader and builder Doon Malekzadeh about how early curiosity, play, and hands-on problem-solving laid the groundwork for a dynamic design career.
We explore:
- Doon’s childhood love of Legos and how it shaped his design instincts
- Why curiosity and play are powerful tools for learning and leadership
- Stoic philosophy and how it informs Doon’s proactive career choices
- Doon’s take on strategic quitting, inspired by The Dip by Seth Godin
This episode is all about embracing experimentation, thinking differently about career growth, and staying in motion even during times of uncertainty.
