Nick Budden
Founder & CEO, Phase
What inspired you to develop your idea into a startup?
Phase is all about “Creative Flow” — which is that feeling a designer gets when they’re really in the zone, and design just flows. We’re building Phase to help designers get into (and stay in) creative flow as much as possible.
What are your dreams and aspirations for the company going forward?
I want to build a product not only for UI/UX but a suite of web-based, collaborative products for a range of creative mediums.
What is your motivation that keeps you going every day?
I think the problem we’re trying to solve really matters, and if we succeed, we can really bring more happiness into millions of designers’ lives.
What is your strategy when things don’t turn out the way you expect?
I keep a few structured journals. It helps me improve my thinking for the future.
