“Design is the intermediary between information and understanding"- Hans HofmannThe best part of my current role is to witness the journey of each design that we create through development and releasing iterations while gathering feedback and inputs from all stakeholders throughout. The stakeholders include the end users, my development team who helps build based on prioritization from the backlog and the management. I love having the high-level perspective and delving into the details where necessary. I encourage all stakeholders to pick holes for gathering different perspectives and details which might have been missed out previously. Hence these discussions are very interactive and that brings out the best in everyone to find solutions to complex problems collectively. It also helps me gain early support and champions for my road map and design decisions. I also try to keep the design as simple as possible without diluting the functionalities offered by the release. This is as big a challenge as it sounds. Though there is a solve for this by connecting with multiple stakeholders repeatedly to gather perspectives and in-depth understanding of each component. Gathering requirements, creative problem solving, attention to detail and prioritization are my key strengths and that is often the bedrock of our team's design and releases. And that is where the quote from Hans above starts to make a lot of sense in my world. I have been very fortunate to work very closely with industry leaders who has challenged me to every now and then to dig deep, gain the additional perspective and ask the right questions at each stage to find a solution and forge ahead.
