About
Struggling to find online inspiration or blogs focused on the management side of projects? That’s exactly where I was when I decided to start Production Brief. As a designer and web developer, I found it difficult to discover fresh insights beyond the typical productivity blogs that simply recycled the same old advice, all while trying to sell you “get rich quick” courses.
But where was the community I longed for—one that was passionate about great design and a “less is more” approach to management? That’s precisely what I hope to cultivate with production brief. Join us on this journey as we, like-minded designers and project managers, grow the community and evolve our skill sets.
