i know everyone is seeing the Design role changing in different ways. here are few practical examples of how we are seeing at Sigma: 1) Siyuan Fan creates floating controls to quickly evaluate refinements and numerous variations in localhost of same flow directly into the code base, then she pushes PRs to prod; 2) Juwon Lee and Stephen Del Valle build long PRs as POCs and then break them with engineers in smaller PRs to prod under flags; 3) Heather Burt created a Skill used everyday by the company where anyone can build animations and images for social media, events, internal materials, all using our brand guidelines (I used it for my linkedin cover image); 4) Margot Merrill created a Skill used everyday by the company where copy follow voice and tone guidelines anytime someone asks for copy or create a new PR; 5) Jade Fleishhacker is teaching AI how to design better, by writing evals for our agents; 6) I have pushed 2 features end to end in the last month: one was a long time idea to make one of our design system component responsive, the other one was a escalation that had no resources available. Both had ~800 lines of code. I design, implemented and rolled it out gradually. Surprisingly one of them had only one review comment in the PR. 7) a lot of designers I talk to report to been using Figma anymore, or just using it for micro UI updates. designers are not cooked, they are cooking. well... come and join us! we have a role open for Senior Product Designer: https://lnkd.in/gH3gbsdT
