Shane Mielke

“Launch It” distills down the most critical aspects of creative problem-solving into pure gems of insight that should be part of everyone’s mental tool-kit. It takes years of in-the-trenches experience and polishes them down into sharp blades of practical wisdom.

My Dad is always telling me what to do with my life. If you want him to do the same for you, then buy his book. Because it's all stuff he worked hard to learn and it's totally worth it.

"Launch It” is a burst of wisdom, encouragement, invitation, and challenge. I needed this book as I continue my new career as a designer.  I highly recommend this book to anyone who creates, designs, develops, or works on their own.

Shane's book is a no frills and actionable guide to getting better. It's a little Pocket Sherpa guiding you up the mountain that is design. If you're starting out you should read this book and commit it to memory.

Shane is a mentor and a real inspiration for so many people. His book is obviously a great source of inspiration for me.
