“I had the absolute joy of working at Comcast with Juan back when he was early in his career, and even then, his talent was kind of mind-blowing. Honestly, while most of us were just trying to think outside the box, Juan questioned even having a box! He had this wild gift for looking at a design challenge and not just finding a solution but seeing a chance to create something genuinely next-level. Watching Juan’s career take off has been nothing short of inspiring. He’s grown into a design leader with a voice that’s not only powerful but also refreshingly thoughtful. He pours his passion for quality into every project, blending creativity with a kind of discipline that makes everyone around him want to up their game. His designs aren’t just eye-catching—they’re smart, always hitting that sweet spot between creative energy and strategic purpose. But what really sets Juan apart is how he leads with both vision and heart. He knows how to bring out the best in his team, crafting an environment where creativity isn’t just encouraged—it practically blooms. His leadership style is this rare mix of artistic instinct and razor-sharp analytical thinking, leaving a lasting mark wherever he goes. I'm grateful to know Juan and remain friends with him long after career paths diverged. He's a man of wisdom, character, humor, and dance moves.”

Most designers aren’t taught how to lead. They’re promoted because they’re good at design. But leadership isn’t about being more creative. It’s about building systems where people can do their best work. In this article, I share 4 foundations every design leader must get right: • Hiring the right people • Meaningful 1:1 meetings • Continuous critique culture • Clear team charters If you’re leading — or preparing to lead — a design team, this is a practical starting point. 🔗 Read here: https://lnkd.in/gHGNN9Yt #DesignLeadership #DesignManagement #Leadership #DesignTeams #UXLeadership #ProductDesign

floop
floop just ran its first pilot session with Riffle. Riffle helps companies hire contractors and full-time designers. They have 150+ designers in their community. 2 designers got in-depth feedback on their portfolios, pinned directly to their live website. We are giving context back to designers, mentors, reviewers, and anyone who deals with feedback. Mentees can come back to their floop link anytime and see every piece of feedback exactly where it was left by the mentor. No explanation gets lost. For recruiters and design mentors, that's a portfolio deep-dive that actually lands and is easier to comprehend (than screen recordings and long descriptive texts). flooping feedback helps, by a huge margin! It was a win for floop because the pilot surfaced things she needs to get better at (whole point of a pilot anyway). Mrinali Kamath, you're the best! thank you for believing in floop early and helping me with pilot.
