This panel discussion covers the different roles that Designers might face when going from a large company to small, or vice-versa. What skills are different in the varied environments? How does Design get accepted into the organization, by necessity or force? What's the on-boarding / hiring process when it is only you, or when you have the resources to do so much more?
