• You're leading a team with conflicting values. How can you bridge the gap for success?

  Managing a team with different values can be tricky. Still, I've found that open conversations and a bit of empathy go a long way. When people feel heard and understood, it's easier to focus on what we all have in common—those shared goals we're all working toward. In my experience, once you shift the conversation from conflict to collaboration, the team starts to see that those differences can actually make us stronger. It's all about turning those varied perspectives into a creative advantage and using them to fuel the team's success.

• How do you foster a collaborative and respectful relationship with graphic designers?

  Let's start with clear and kind communication. It is essential to align on the scope, goals, and expectations from the get-go to avoid misunderstanding or misinformation that will end in uncomfortable moments for both parties. Then, your responsibility as a leader will be to guide them or help them unlock during the creative process when needed.When giving feedback, I respect their creative process and understand that it's important to really listen to their ideas and be open to new possibilities—they're the experts, after all! Only then can we positively give feedback by adding, not destroying. Think of it as a "yes, and" and NEVER as a "No, but".

• How do you balance your own vision and client expectations when designing?

  Listening to feedback is absolutely key in balancing your vision with client expectations. It’s not just about hearing their input, but really engaging with it. When you receive feedback look at is as an oportunity to improve and work together with the client to understands their needs. Avoid getting defensive. It’s all about improving the work together. If something’s unclear, don’t hesitate to ask for specifics. By showing the client that you value their perspective and are willing to make adjustments, you strengthen the collaboration and move closer to a final result that everyone’s happy with.

  We always have to approach this kind of challenges with empathy. We have to engage in a open conversation and deeply listen to our team's concerns. this is the only way to uncover the real obstacles they face. I believe this fosters an environment of collaboration and continuous improvement, where every voice is heard, and every challenge is an opportunity for growth, which is a real thing.

• What are the best practices for hiring and onboarding remote design talent?

  Investing in retention and development is just as important as hiring the right remote design talent. In my experience, remote work offers flexibility but brings challenges like isolation and burnout.Offering training and development courses on platforms like Udemy, Skillshare, or Coursera can help remote designers expand their skills and stay motivated. By prioritizing their development and well-being, you not only retain top talent but also empower them to contribute more effectively to the organization's success.
