Title:
Where do I fit in? Finding a place for product design

Description:
When Wirecutter was acquired by The New York Times in 2016, it had never had a full-time designer on staff. Today, it has a 5-team product org that is trying new things and collaborating with writers and editors every day — but the path there had its growing pains. As product designers, how do we figure out where we fit in? And how can our team come out as friends on the other side? Let's talk about the existential task of finding your role in a new (or newly rearranged) organization.
