hvpandya··on Exposure for Designers
Designers need to spend time with more people that are not designers. All good ideas come from outside your domain.

Despite robust systems, frameworks and coaching raising the floor, leadership always goes to the same trustworthy folks in the org to solve their gnarliest problems.
hvpandya··on Why large companies struggle so much with design
Having worked at a few, I can confidently say that the environment is just not conducive for good design thinking, solid polished execution and close collaboration with PMs and Engineering. Active participation outside of your scope is discouraged, filing bugs and getting them fixed is hard, rapid experimentation is met with so much friction and the average day is filled with so many meetings and catchups that you're left with no creative energy to think deeply about anything.
