Over the last few years, I have been helping, assisting in hiring and now actively doing this job of finding great talent who are hungry and aligning them with businesses that value design and are starved of the craft. This is a list of things that I have reflected on from my journey as a junior designer to where I see emerging talent struggling to find the right opportunities.
Writing on design, mentoring, and digitally underserved industries.
Thoughts on product design, leadership, product management, and more.
Over the years, I have learned that feedback is the fuel that accelerates design work into a different quality spectrum. Though feedback from users & customers would rank high for product teams to base decisions to drive design decisions, there is still great value in engaging peers and stakeholders in the feedback process.
When you are in a rush and you want to double check if your designs are in the right direction.
