This used to be a newsletter that was narrowly focused on product management and technology. It has since evolved into an outlet to talk about music, internet culture, and technology within the context of everything that’s happening in 2020. It’s a way to reflect together, and hopefully, provide you with some useful and interesting recommendations.

About me

My name is Rian van der Merwe. I'm a product manager with a background in user experience design. I am focused on designing and building high-quality software that people love to use. I also wrote a book about the process called Making It Right.

Elezea is a Swahili word that means to elucidate, explain, clarify, and relate. Everything I write is in that spirit.
