3 AUG 2023 · In this https://z1.digital/'s Lessons From Digital Crafting episode, we share some of the pains and some of the excitement a solo founder finds in her journey. From detecting a real problem to be solved to crafting the first version of an app to solve that specific problem. We talk about:
- The importance of finding a partner you can collaborate with in building your business. Not someone who just follows your instructions, but someone who understands “the why” behind everything.
- How sometimes there are features you have envisioned that you need to compromise to launch the first V1 of your product. If you don’t have a technical background, you’d need to properly transmit your pillars and trust in the design process and your team of engineers.
- The vibrant startup ecosystem in Dubai, where the “can do” attitude is contagious and empowers you to take risks and move forward with your ideas.
- The challenge of solving privacy issues by design when you have a product that’s accessing and managing data and images on somebody's personal device. How to make the user know that they have control over what's happening while using the app.
- The constraints on designing products for the new AI age. Trying to find a good balance between going hyper-technical or 100% design driven.
19 MAY 2023 · In this episode of https://z1.digital/'s Lessons From Digital Crafting, we talk with Eric Mayville and Andrew Haynes, CEO & CoFounder, VP, Executive Creative Director, from https://www.fairgamegolf.com/, about how they crafted a digital solution that transformed their love for golf into their business.

- How to craft a digital solution for an industry related to your personal life.
- What are the main challenges of finding and translating the complexities and nuances of a game like golf into a simple user experience.
- How to prioritize the most critical elements of functionality, maintaining an ideal timeline for the app’s first version.
Discover how to innovate for a non-digital space and capture trends with a wonderful result!
