I am a Product Designer at Solink.
With over two decades in the design industry, I've learned that success hinges not just on individual excellence, but on harmonious team dynamics. Throughout my career, working with diverse teams has underscored one key lesson: the value of a comfortable and understanding work environment transcends roles, whether you're a designer, developer, or product manager.
A pivotal element of this equation is leadership that deeply comprehends each team member's role. As a designer, I've observed the occasional undervaluation of design in team settings. It's crucial for designers to not only grasp their role within a company but also to understand management and team expectations of design. This awareness fosters effective communication and seamlessly integrates design into the product development process.
In my journey, I've strived to bridge these gaps, ensuring that design is not just an afterthought but a driving force in project development.
