Hello all,
Recruiting designers is great, and if we start to refine our current design submissions, we can leverage any additional support to accelerate the design avtivity
As a reminder, we have a number of submissions that we should start considering.
Design is iterative, we need to review the submissions and identify which design elements resonate, and continue to iterate.
It feels like the challenge right now is how to move the iterative design process forward.
I could propose a process to help drive the design process forward.
Thoughts?
