focusing on product systems and leadership rather than marketing
team success over the long haul is more important — system stability, rather than trend-chasing
I can:
— visualize product owners' and founders' fantasies and hallucinations
— do strategic work: determine "what to do?" and "when to do it?" based on business goals, development capabilities, and timely market entry
— work out concepts — functionality/structure/ux, design systems, complex products (long cycle)
— build design teams for products, lead teams of up to 8 designers with a lean, non-bureaucratic approach, mentor middle+ → senior → principal → head of design (not juniors)
— set up interaction processes between products, development and designers, together with researchers and tech writers
— design systems (figma)
— lead product from a solutions perspective and help prove the position of users and development to business
— be a user advocate and preach design vision within the team
