Hi! I’m (obviously) a copywriter. And I live in Austin! Shoot me a dm. I moved here 5 years ago and love it. Tips: just be outside. Walk around, enjoy the weather, sit out at one of the hundred breweries and talk to people. You’ll be fine

Im working at a big multi-product company and we're having 5 dedicated product teams, however, teams are working in silos. Each team's has its own process, design system, technology etc. We identified that most of the teams use and need components that were already conceptualised, designed and developed, for our other products, and we are starting to create a global set of components, a global design system that we will use on all our products. What is your approach?
