Riot has made me a better designer, no question about it. One thing I've learned is the value of dissent. Inviting people to challenge your ideas and actually loving the process can make your designs more bulletproof and flexible. As long as respect and courtesy are observed ofc.

I absolutely loved the whole creative proccess at Riot. I always took part in skin pitches whenever I could even though it had nothing to do with my area just because I wanted to learn from them, and I did. I was awesome and I'll always treasure that experience.

Constructive criticism is so important in anything you do. Someone might be better at something that you both do and have a viewpoint or idea that changes the way you do something to make it even better. CC=colab in my opinion of course 👍

Makes sense sometimes you can be so enchanted with an idea that you may overlook some needed adjustments or it could need a larger overhaul. Perspective is everything.

This a huge boom for all disciplines at Riot and I think is the primary reason our belief that we can be the best is transformed into a reality.

Agreed, it's super important to have your calls challenged if it can be done healthily. I get so uncomfortable nowadays if my stuff isn't challenged. O_O

Design is collaboration and iteration. Gathering diverse perspectives, aligning on the goal you want to achieve together, and ideating through the variety of pathways that will accomplish that goal.
I've found it one of the most enjoyable processes throughout life.

My mentors, both in and out of Team 2, have been great at practicing this. It reassures me so much when someone is critically thinking about what I'm proposing.
