Leading a team isn’t the only way to be a design leader. Being a top-level individual contributor makes you a design leader too, but there are far fewer resources out there about this path.
In this talk Val will share her take on leading as a Principal Designer, plus what worked and what didn’t in her own experience navigating the individual contributor career path. (Hint – it’s not about being the loudest person in the room.) She’ll also share insights on what effective senior individual contributor design leadership looks like from the Principal Designer handbook project created for Adobe Design.
