    Hi Aarron! I'm Sally Carson, Product Design Manager here at Duo Security. I was brought on at Duo to build this entirely new team / competency within the Org. We're about 6 months in. We've re-engineered how teams collaborate. We now have small, cross-functional feature teams comprised of a Product Manager, Product Designer, an Engineering Lead along with some additional Engineerings. But the atomic unit is the PM/PD/Eng triad.

    It's going extremely well, but I'm finding that resourcing projects is a confusing multi-dimensional Jenga tree / Tetris puzzle. Any tips on resourcing design? I asked Peter Merholz the same question if you're interested in his take:

    Bonus question: Have you found a virtual "community" of other design leaders?

      I agree without just need to hire more designers. Developing your own pattern library/design system can help your current designers work more efficiently.
