Catt Small - How to influence and lead as a staff designer

Catt Small - How to influence and lead as a staff designer

How do the best staff designers influence and lead as individual contributors?

I interviewed Catt Small to answer that question and it turned into one of the most practical episodes yet. She pulls from her 14+ years of experience designing products like Etsy, Asana, and Soundcloud to share techniques you can use to level up your influence and scale your impact as an IC.

Some highlights:

  • Ways to get out of the execution trap
  • The key to having “executive presence”
  • Catt’s advice for better time management
  • How designers can encourage people to think bigger
  • How Catt has evolved the way she does async videos
  • Understanding the different archetypes of staff designers
  • Behind-the-scenes of the massive “Goals” project at Asana
  • a lot more
