The biggest challenge was our packed roadmap. The team of developers worked quickly, so I had to keep up and take on many roles. I designed new flows and interfaces, set up a design system and culture, reviewed developers' work, managed myself and another designer, planned and prioritized tasks with the Head of Product, and communicated with 3D designers for assets. Looking back, it was a challenging but inspiring experience. I learned how to make the most of limited resources and balance speed with quality, user-friendliness with feature complexity.
