My name is Brian, and I’m Bubble’s new VP of Product. I thought I’d introduce myself!
I started at Bubble three weeks ago and am thrilled to be joining the team and to be able to take part in this community. I had a chance to meet a number of community members at Bubble Tour London a couple weeks ago, and I found it so energizing to hear your stories of how Bubble helped turn your ideas into successful businesses and enabled Bubble freelancers, agencies, and coaches to help others in doing so.
I’m looking forward to bringing my product experience to the team. I started my career in product management at Microsoft and Google, and I learned a lot working on products like Google Maps and Google Docs. Since then, I’ve led product teams at both growth-stage startups and mature businesses. In these roles, I’ve leveraged user insights to shape product strategy and built product teams that emphasize deep user understanding and iteration based on feedback — exactly the kind you all all share here on the Bubble Forum.
At Bubble Tour, Emmanuel and Josh shared our plans to leverage the best of AI and no-code as we pave the way for AI visual development. I’m beyond excited for what we have planned as we help builders easily turn ideas into apps and then use our powerful editor to refine them into robust, secure, and scalable products.
At Bubble Tour, I saw first-hand that we have a passionate community that helps one another and cares deeply about the product. And I know that there are many ways in which we need to improve the product to better meet your needs. I’m eager to continue to hear from you and to leverage this community’s experience and insights to help us get there.
Feel free to DM me on the forum and connect on LinkedIn. I look forward to learning from and meeting many of you in the coming months.
Welcome, @brian.levee. In some ways you have a very difficult job ahead of you, but in a very important way, it is also the easiest product role you will ever have. Everything you ever need in terms of ideation is already on these forums or the ideaboard. You don’t need to imagine or create anything new. Aside from the usual corporate maneuvering, the only thing you really need to do is ruthlessly filter signal from noise.
Here’s a high-yield “hack” for you. Read the responses to the monthly Announcement threads and look at which responses have the most engagement. Most companies have to pay for this kind of data. We give it to you for free. Enjoy, and good luck!
Incredibly, they don’t do anything that users are asking for. They just keep focusing on AI, while the community is asking for other things in the forum.
but I thought 40 px was because someone actually knew design.
If you drag a group in and put the simplest element there is, a text element, and put the smallest recommended font (16), and then put the recommended padding (8), you would arrive at 40 px.
