Design operations (aka DesignOps) is the engine that keeps the design process humming along so that designers can focus on what they do best (you know, designing). 👩‍💻 It ensures your team’s sanity, allowing them to focus on the work itself rather than reinventing the wheel or “how” to get the work done every time. This stuff is especially crucial as your design firepower grows—whether with new designers, devs, or product peeps. Wondering how to get started? Our blog post on Standardizing design through DesignOps has you covered: https://lnkd.in/gfwR2u-6 #DesignOps #UXdesign #designprocess

To be honest, we started the DesignDash Mastermind because we saw a need for a community where designers could truly thrive. We wanted to create a space where passionate, driven individuals could come together, share their struggles, and find real, actionable solutions. It's about building a network of support that lifts you up and pushes you forward. The best part? Being surrounded by people who truly get it - who understand your frustrations because they've been there too. It's like finding a tribe that speaks your language. We talk about everything – from handling tricky clients and mastering effective marketing to confidently charging what we’re worth. Each person brings their unique experiences, making every session a treasure trove of insights. And guess what? We’ve already completed two successful cohorts and now, we're ready for some more! If you have any questions before you apply? We'd love to answer them!
