On building respect for designers in an organization, with our guest Scott Zimmer.
In part 2 of this guest episode, Juli and Scott continued their hike on the Buda Hills, discussing hiring designers, giving them a seat at the table, and building a culture that respects design.
The path we took:
- Treating designers as a partner, not a resource;
- The risks of hiring external design help;
- Explaining and selling the idea of iteration;
- Why the first impression is important, and how a bad experience with a designer can feed bad stereotypes;
- The dangers of the agency model, and a better alternative for dedicated persistent internal design teams;
- Pleasing versus challenging the client;
- Hiring for aptitude and interest, and filling the rest with mentorship;
- And finding upsides for AI, supercharging human connections.
