In this Episode, we hosted Nate Langley, Lead Product Designer at Monzo, who is contributing to the growth design effort.In this conversation, he breaks down how growth design ties craft to business outcomes at Monzo. In this episode, Nate breaks down how growth design works at Monzo from rapid, hypothesis-driven experiments to building a powerful referral engine that drives incremental word-of-mouth. He explains how the team blends product, brand, and marketing into one high-velocity Growth Collective, runs fast tests to find the right incentives, and uses a lightweight growth-vision process to align the company around bets of 6–12 months, rooted in business metrics and customer behaviour.Nate also shares his career journey, moving from design manager back to IC to stay closer to the craft. He talks openly about imposter syndrome, the soft skills management gave him, and how understanding stakeholders, business context, and influence now makes him a stronger growth designer. His story shows how thoughtful experimentation, cross-functional collaboration, and a little delight (like Monzo’s confetti reward reveal) shape both great products and great careers.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Where to find Nate:https://www.linkedin.com/in/nate-langley--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Host: Emmanuel: https://www.linkedin.com/in/omoleemmanuel/IniOluwa - https://www.linkedin.com/in/inioluwa-abiodun -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Production by - https://www.linkedin.com/in/damilola-ilesanmi-720baa1b0 For inquiries about sponsoring the podcast, email hello@growthdesigncast.com
