Summary

Community builder and curator — Mindaugas has spent a decade building high‑signal communities for designers and senior professionals: he led EMEA community efforts at InVision, created and ran the Designer Fellowship at On Deck, and founded Coho to scale curated peer cohorts and translate community knowledge into productized decision support. mindaugasp+3

Operator who ships quickly with AI — in 2024–2025 Mindaugas shifted toward building small, pragmatic AI products and teaching others to do the same (workshops, prompt tooling, Backchannel). He emphasizes fast iteration, shipping working apps with Lovable, and applying AI to capture and structure tacit knowledge for senior decision-making. mindaugasp+1

Writer, teacher and career practitioner — Mindaugas writes regularly about design careers, runs free office hours and workshops, and frames much of his work as helping professionals untangle career problems through curated peer cohorts and practical frameworks. medium+1

Founder & CEO mindset focused on sustainable communities — his public interviews and founder pieces show a preference for building durable, member-first community businesses rather than fast exits: careful curation, shared ownership inside the team, and long-term relationships are recurring themes. substack+1
