Mike Monteiro

Welcome to Series 2 of Pioneers of Design!

In this installment, I focus on Mike Monteiro. Mike has been motivating designers to give a damn about their work since as long as I can remember. He co-owns Mule, a strategic design strategy, speaks often, and writes prolifically about all things design (throw a dart - all things are designed). Simply put, he cares A LOT about you, the designer, and the effects your design has on the world.

Monteiro's writings include:
Design Is a Job (2012)
You're My Favorite Client (2014)
Ruined by Design: How Designers Destroyed the World, and What We Can Do to Fix It (2019)
The Collected Angers: Essays About Design for an Unwilling Audience (2021)

Go check out his work. His words will make you a better designer.
