Scaling Design Impact: From Solo Contributor to Team Leader
Update: 2025-02-12
Description
In this first episode, Paul shares how he built a thriving design team of 16 designers across three regions, starting from literally zero. Learn about securing leadership buy-in through data-driven approaches, strategic hiring for long-term impact, building structured design processes that work across time zones, and creating genuine connections in a globally distributed team.
Key takeaways include:
- Start with data, not design - gather metrics that speak leadership's language
- Document your processes - create a common language that works across time zones
- Authentic connections matter more than tools - build personal bonds for resilient remote collaboration
- Rotate the burden of time zones - implement a rotating schedule to create mutual respect
- Measure everything, but don't let metrics rule - create space for unmeasurable exploration
