Hard Problems

Hi, this is Elyce Cole. I'm excited to share our updated website: hardproblems.com ðŸŽ‰

The new design doubles down on our mission: helping designers find meaningful full-time work on the world's hardest problems, with a more useful job board and more inspiring content.

Huge thanks to the Funsize team for their strategic steer. Their focused, fast, and flexible design work took us to the next level. And to Kane Lincoln, for loading us up with our first articles.

Now that it's out in the world, we want to invite more people into the conversation.

If you're a designer thinking about — or already navigating — a shift into more meaningful work, we'd love to hear from you. What matters most for designers making that transition? What skills translate, and what doesn't? What surprised you? What do you wish someone had told you earlier? Which projects inspire you?

We're inviting people to write articles that dig into questions like these.

Comment on my LinkedIn if this sounds exciting to you.
