Habits of a healthy design team
We say "Design is a team sport". But being a designer can often be a lonely thing. In most companies we work in cross functional teams, where we are often being outnumbered by the amount of engineers, challenged with the difficulty of measuring our work, while having one of the broadest roles on the team. So for designers to succeed they need to be part of a strong Design team, Design community or "guild" that supports them.
The design industry is constantly evolving, and so are the ways to foster the value of design teams. As design leaders and practitioners - there is much to learn from each other - whether it's being inspired to try out new ways or avoid pitfalls from cautionary tales.
Mentimeter is hosting an evening of meeting & sharing for designers and fans of design at their office on Kungstensgatan 23. VP of Product Design at Mentimeter, Christoffer Kittel will share some beliefs and habits of the Design Team. Our panel of design leaders with experience from companies like Volvo Cars, Kry, Spotify, Klarna, Avanza and Electrolux will discuss some learnings and challenges.
