Whether it is a coder that knows how to speak design or a designer that knows how to speak code, that translator role is absolutely crucial. Without you there to bridge the gap, product creation might have ground to a stop.
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoI definitely wasn't versed in design before I joined; what made me useful is that I was working "with them" rather than working at an arm's length in another team. Usually, it's the PM's job to coordinate, but design-skilled PMS are rare. Designers embedded in engineering teams can also work out, but lose the peering benefits of working with other designers in a studio setting.
