EXPOSURE

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Designers limit their effectiveness by spending too much time with other designers rather than engaging with product managers, engineers, sales teams, and customers who possess crucial context on user needs and business realities. Increased exposure to diverse perspectives reveals insights that pure design skills cannot, enabling designers to create solutions that actually solve the right problems. The most creative and effective designers aren't just technically skilled, they actively seek knowledge from people who understand different aspects of the product, market, and user context.
