01. Figma! I learned so much about Figma as I worked on this project. This project challenged me to not only work within a design system, but build my own design system for our product that my team and I could use to create consistency within our product, as well as, promote a more efficient workflow while building our prototype.
02. Autolayout, components, and variants are your best friends in Figma. I love them and can not imagine designing without them anymore.
03. I learned how to balance out the strengths and weaknesses of each of my team members to ensure everyone was comfortable with their responsibilities with the product, but also made sure to challenge each of my team members to do something new in order to help them build on their skills.
04. As an organized individual, I learned what it was like to have to be organized while working with the schedules and timelines of my team members. I learned so much about the importance of keeping your team members up to date about scheduling, team meetings, weekly check-ins, and project progress throughout the last 8 weeks.
05. I learned… I really love leading a team and leading those I work with. It was such an amazing learning experience working with a team of my peers. Reflections were very important and I found the experience very rewarding. I hope to continue to find opportunities to lead a team of designers in the future.
