The ideal designer (part)
Someone with many design talents and who is a natural thought leader on the team. They not only make wireframes and prototypes, but drive the thinking and tradeoffs behind them, comfortably evangalizing good ideas and staying near the center of important discussions. They are drivers in resolving design issues, solving problems, and making things happen, and people happily come to them for help with decisions. They are communicators and collaborators as much as idea generators, leading design ideas through engineering, marketing and other parts of the process. They negotiate with PMs on when to handoff design leadership and who is best able to represent a decision, a design or a problem to the rest of the team.
Designers should be the tiebreaker in design issues and be granted signifigant authority when ease of use, style and other design traits are important goals. The designer’s opinion on design matters should trump others, just as an engineer or marketer’s opinion would in certain situations. A good product designer earns these powers through the respect of everyone they interact with, as an intelligent, thoughtful, reliable teammate.
