"The role of design will always be to continue finding ways to make abstract ideas tangible. PMs and designers should never be in competition with each other; rather, they should continue to augment each other. The best teams I work with are those where product, engineering, and design join minds and forces to branch off, push boundaries, and say 'yes, and' to ideas."
