Today, I want to share a new episode with Cameron Adams.Cameron
leads product for Canva where people are creating 1B+ designs
every month. We talked about how AI will transform design and why
he believes in prototypes over PRDs and coaches over managers. I
also loved hearing Cam’s stories about Canva’s rubber ducky
easter egg and what a bike accident taught him about persistence.
