My Q1 in a nutshell thus far, with half of the to do pile being things that popped up unexpectedly. Maybe by next year I'll stop being surprised by this scenario. ๐Ÿ˜‚

What does the title #DesignEngineer mean to you?

I'm putting together an article and I'd love to hear what your thoughts are, especially in relation to #DesignSystems. Boost for reach? ๐Ÿ’œ

Definitely! Made a lot of progress this week, at the same time it showed me how much more there is to accomplish in order to move forward. ๐Ÿ˜… Enjoy vacation and looking forward to a chat!

Am digging into this quite a bit and better defining leveling guidance so our team can continue to grow in their careers, especially as many seek to remain within design systems.

There's a lot more to say, but putting this out there in case anyone wants to chat more on this topic!

There is a lot of ambiguity for around leveling within a Design System team. The company has guidance for Product Designers and feature Software Development Engineers, but our team is more in a Venn Diagram of both plus additional skills specific to working on Design Systems.
