Here's a bonus episode where I talked with the seasoned leaders Diego Mendes and Jessica Ko on CogX2021 Festival 2021. We discussed some of the challenges on hiring your first designers and growing your team:
Should Product Design, Marketing and Branding be in the same team?
Should you hire an unicorn designer?
How to hire diverse talent?

If you're a founder and don't know who to hire on the design side, this is for you. If you're a new head of design trying to grow a team, this is for you.
