They build a storyline on the theme and showcase the whole story as a Figma prototype. The storyline also has events and activities where other clan members participate. In other Angelic legions sessions, we have a hands-on learning session and a Pecha Kucha session, a two-minute presentation on a topic based on the theme.</p><figure class="og oh oi oj ok gs gy gz paragraph-image"><div role="button" tabindex="0" class="ol om fj on bh oo"><div class="gy gz of"><picture><source srcSet="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:640/format:webp/0*SdZ2tTX4C3iFhvEV 640w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:720/format:webp/0*SdZ2tTX4C3iFhvEV 720w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:750/format:webp/0*SdZ2tTX4C3iFhvEV 750w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:786/format:webp/0*SdZ2tTX4C3iFhvEV 786w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:828/format:webp/0*SdZ2tTX4C3iFhvEV 828w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/format:webp/0*SdZ2tTX4C3iFhvEV 1100w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/format:webp/0*SdZ2tTX4C3iFhvEV 1400w" sizes="(min-resolution: 4dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 4) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (min-resolution: 3dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 67vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (max-width: 700px) 65vw, (min-resolution: 2.5dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2.5) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (min-resolution: 2dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" type="image/webp"/><source data-testid="og" srcSet="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:640/0*SdZ2tTX4C3iFhvEV 640w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:720/0*SdZ2tTX4C3iFhvEV 720w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:750/0*SdZ2tTX4C3iFhvEV 750w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:786/0*SdZ2tTX4C3iFhvEV 786w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:828/0*SdZ2tTX4C3iFhvEV 828w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/0*SdZ2tTX4C3iFhvEV 1100w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/0*SdZ2tTX4C3iFhvEV 1400w" sizes="(min-resolution: 4dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 4) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (min-resolution: 3dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 67vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (max-width: 700px) 65vw, (min-resolution: 2.5dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2.5) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (min-resolution: 2dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px"/><img alt="" class="bh gu gv c" width="700" height="360" loading="lazy" role="presentation"/></picture></div></div><figcaption class="gw ff gx gy gz ha hb bf b bg z du">Weekly digital campfire on <a class="af po" href="https://www.around.co/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">around.co</a></figcaption></figure><p id="a7eb" class="pw-post-body-paragraph ng nh hh ni b nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv nw nx ny nz oa ob oc od gn bk">Other than that, our birthday celebrations are super fun.

It breaks the monotony of working, and what is better than to kill some co-worker after a long day of work.</p><figure class="og oh oi oj ok gs gy gz paragraph-image"><div role="button" tabindex="0" class="ol om fj on bh oo"><div class="gy gz of"><picture><source srcSet="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:640/format:webp/1*YlvrIupNm9Nlx_R0JM5fbg.gif 640w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:720/format:webp/1*YlvrIupNm9Nlx_R0JM5fbg.gif 720w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:750/format:webp/1*YlvrIupNm9Nlx_R0JM5fbg.gif 750w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:786/format:webp/1*YlvrIupNm9Nlx_R0JM5fbg.gif 786w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:828/format:webp/1*YlvrIupNm9Nlx_R0JM5fbg.gif 828w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/format:webp/1*YlvrIupNm9Nlx_R0JM5fbg.gif 1100w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/format:webp/1*YlvrIupNm9Nlx_R0JM5fbg.gif 1400w" sizes="(min-resolution: 4dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 4) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (min-resolution: 3dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 67vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (max-width: 700px) 65vw, (min-resolution: 2.5dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2.5) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (min-resolution: 2dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" type="image/webp"/><source data-testid="og" srcSet="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:640/1*YlvrIupNm9Nlx_R0JM5fbg.gif 640w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:720/1*YlvrIupNm9Nlx_R0JM5fbg.gif 720w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:750/1*YlvrIupNm9Nlx_R0JM5fbg.gif 750w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:786/1*YlvrIupNm9Nlx_R0JM5fbg.gif 786w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:828/1*YlvrIupNm9Nlx_R0JM5fbg.gif 828w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/1*YlvrIupNm9Nlx_R0JM5fbg.gif 1100w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*YlvrIupNm9Nlx_R0JM5fbg.gif 1400w" sizes="(min-resolution: 4dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 4) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (min-resolution: 3dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 67vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (max-width: 700px) 65vw, (min-resolution: 2.5dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2.5) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (min-resolution: 2dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px"/><img alt="" class="bh gu gv c" width="700" height="360" loading="lazy" role="presentation"/></picture></div></div><figcaption class="gw ff gx gy gz ha hb bf b bg z du">Among us sessions to kill the fatigue</figcaption></figure><p id="6c98" class="pw-post-body-paragraph ng nh hh ni b nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv nw nx ny nz oa ob oc od gn bk">After all, the team that plays together stays together.</p><h2 id="85c2" class="op oq hh bf or os ot dy ou ov ow ea ox nr oy oz pa nv pb pc pd nz pe pf pg ph bk"><strong class="al">Collaborating with the team</strong></h2><p id="fceb" class="pw-post-body-paragraph ng nh hh ni b nj pi nl nm nn pj np nq nr pk nt nu nv pl nx ny nz pm ob oc od gn bk">Now let’s turn to work.<strong class="ni hi"> </strong>Well, the first project I was handed at Zeta was for a travel and lifestyle rewards program that wanted to build a financial solution for its customers.

While working with more experienced folks, the project became a positive-sum game where I learned and had their support at all times. Collaboration with other team members for illustrations, designs, and UX copies was an ongoing process.

At the same time, I started working on a retail banking app, and the team had to create a design system that should be developer-friendly. They wanted to make a living library that could be used when working on a project. We based the design system on the book <a class="af po" href="https://bradfrost.com/blog/post/atomic-web-design/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">“Atomic Design” by Brad Frost</a>. The idea was to have atom components combined to make molecules and then to create organisms. The organisms then form the templates and pages that are used in the product. The whole journey of creating the design system was an enriching one. It nurtured me to understand the nuance of how the design system could affect development. Simultaneously, we found common ground working alongside the software development team, forming our design system’s starting point. We focused on making the design system easily customizable and scalable for the future.</p><figure class="og oh oi oj ok gs gy gz paragraph-image"><div role="button" tabindex="0" class="ol om fj on bh oo"><div class="gy gz of"><picture><source srcSet="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:640/format:webp/1*hr4RgK6RAYUWVzXkNzMJLw.png 640w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:720/format:webp/1*hr4RgK6RAYUWVzXkNzMJLw.png 720w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:750/format:webp/1*hr4RgK6RAYUWVzXkNzMJLw.png 750w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:786/format:webp/1*hr4RgK6RAYUWVzXkNzMJLw.png 786w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:828/format:webp/1*hr4RgK6RAYUWVzXkNzMJLw.png 828w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/format:webp/1*hr4RgK6RAYUWVzXkNzMJLw.png 1100w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/format:webp/1*hr4RgK6RAYUWVzXkNzMJLw.png 1400w" sizes="(min-resolution: 4dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 4) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (min-resolution: 3dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 67vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (max-width: 700px) 65vw, (min-resolution: 2.5dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2.5) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (min-resolution: 2dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" type="image/webp"/><source data-testid="og" srcSet="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:640/1*hr4RgK6RAYUWVzXkNzMJLw.png 640w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:720/1*hr4RgK6RAYUWVzXkNzMJLw.png 720w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:750/1*hr4RgK6RAYUWVzXkNzMJLw.png 750w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:786/1*hr4RgK6RAYUWVzXkNzMJLw.png 786w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:828/1*hr4RgK6RAYUWVzXkNzMJLw.png 828w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/1*hr4RgK6RAYUWVzXkNzMJLw.png 1100w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*hr4RgK6RAYUWVzXkNzMJLw.png 1400w" sizes="(min-resolution: 4dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 4) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (min-resolution: 3dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 67vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (max-width: 700px) 65vw, (min-resolution: 2.5dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2.5) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (min-resolution: 2dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px"/><img alt="" class="bh gu gv c" width="700" height="200" loading="lazy" role="presentation"/></picture></div></div><figcaption class="gw ff gx gy gz ha hb bf b bg z du"><a class="af po" href="https://bradfrost.com/blog/post/atomic-web-design/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Atomic Design by Brad Frost</a></figcaption></figure><h2 id="b0db" class="op oq hh bf or os ot dy ou ov ow ea ox nr oy oz pa nv pb pc pd nz pe pf pg ph bk"><strong class="al">Enhancing design capabilities</strong></h2><p id="61da" class="pw-post-body-paragraph ng nh hh ni b nj pi nl nm nn pj np nq nr pk nt nu nv pl nx ny nz pm ob oc od gn bk">As I worked on different projects, a few things encouraged me to be a better designer today. An essential aspect of being a part of Zeta’s design team is to get feedback on your work. As designers, feedback is necessary to understand what works and what doesn’t. At Zeta, I learned that there is an art of giving feedback. One of the most crucial aspects of design critique is that you must not undermine the person who is getting feedback; instead, provide them with valuable inputs that they can act upon. Here’s a snapshot of how the Zeta design team provides feedback.</p><figure class="og oh oi oj ok gs gy gz paragraph-image"><div role="button" tabindex="0" class="ol om fj on bh oo"><div class="gy gz of"><picture><source srcSet="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:640/format:webp/0*EBmaYR9uqfenFEYc 640w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:720/format:webp/0*EBmaYR9uqfenFEYc 720w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:750/format:webp/0*EBmaYR9uqfenFEYc 750w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:786/format:webp/0*EBmaYR9uqfenFEYc 786w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:828/format:webp/0*EBmaYR9uqfenFEYc 828w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/format:webp/0*EBmaYR9uqfenFEYc 1100w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/format:webp/0*EBmaYR9uqfenFEYc 1400w" sizes="(min-resolution: 4dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 4) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (min-resolution: 3dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 67vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (max-width: 700px) 65vw, (min-resolution: 2.5dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2.5) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (min-resolution: 2dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" type="image/webp"/><source data-testid="og" srcSet="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:640/0*EBmaYR9uqfenFEYc 640w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:720/0*EBmaYR9uqfenFEYc 720w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:750/0*EBmaYR9uqfenFEYc 750w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:786/0*EBmaYR9uqfenFEYc 786w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:828/0*EBmaYR9uqfenFEYc 828w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/0*EBmaYR9uqfenFEYc 1100w, https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/0*EBmaYR9uqfenFEYc 1400w" sizes="(min-resolution: 4dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 4) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (min-resolution: 3dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 67vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (max-width: 700px) 65vw, (min-resolution: 2.5dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2.5) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (min-resolution: 2dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px"/><img alt="" class="bh gu gv c" width="700" height="650" loading="lazy" role="presentation"/></picture></div></div><figcaption class="gw ff gx gy gz ha hb bf b bg z du">Illustration by <span class="he"><span class="he" aria-hidden="false"><a class="hc hd fe" href="https://medium.com/u/975848328460?source=post_page---user_mention--4db65274de70--------------------------------" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Kopai Banerjee</a></span></span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="1653" class="op oq hh bf or os ot dy ou ov ow ea ox nr oy oz pa nv pb pc pd nz pe pf pg ph bk">Hustling stakeholders</h2><p id="c35a" class="pw-post-body-paragraph ng nh hh ni b nj pi nl nm nn pj np nq nr pk nt nu nv pl nx ny nz pm ob oc od gn bk">Managing different stakeholders, understanding their requirements, providing creative solutions, and living up to deadlines is part and parcel of a designer’s life.

They build a storyline on the theme and showcase the whole story as a Figma prototype. The storyline also has events and activities where other clan members participate. In other Angelic legions sessions, we have a hands-on learning session and a Pecha Kucha session, a two-minute presentation on a topic based on the theme.","hasDropCap":null,"dropCapImage":null,"markups":[],"codeBlockMetadata":null,"iframe":null,"mixtapeMetadata":null},"ImageMetadata:0*SdZ2tTX4C3iFhvEV":{"__typename":"ImageMetadata","id":"0*SdZ2tTX4C3iFhvEV","originalHeight":720,"originalWidth":1400,"focusPercentX":null,"focusPercentY":null,"alt":null},"Paragraph:bd48ca72fcb2_19":{"__typename":"Paragraph","id":"bd48ca72fcb2_19","name":"bd00","type":"IMG","href":null,"layout":"INSET_CENTER","metadata":{"__ref":"ImageMetadata:0*SdZ2tTX4C3iFhvEV"},"text":"Weekly digital campfire on around.co","hasDropCap":null,"dropCapImage":null,"markups":[{"__typename":"Markup","type":"A","start":27,"end":36,"href":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.around.co\u002F","anchorType":"LINK","userId":null,"linkMetadata":null}],"codeBlockMetadata":null,"iframe":null,"mixtapeMetadata":null},"Paragraph:bd48ca72fcb2_20":{"__typename":"Paragraph","id":"bd48ca72fcb2_20","name":"a7eb","type":"P","href":null,"layout":null,"metadata":null,"text":"Other than that, our birthday celebrations are super fun.

The idea was to have atom components combined to make molecules and then to create organisms. The organisms then form the templates and pages that are used in the product. The whole journey of creating the design system was an enriching one. It nurtured me to understand the nuance of how the design system could affect development. Simultaneously, we found common ground working alongside the software development team, forming our design system’s starting point.
