" To succeed now, designers must be lifelong learners ready to rethink and re-understand constantly - Christopher. "

" We are closing out design ops 2024 with innovation curated by the incomparable John Kuda. "

" You should absolutely participate in Slack—if you're missing that, you're missing a key part of our conference. "

" This is a great opportunity. This is a gift to yourself to dig in with other design ops peers and really learn together. "

" A lot of design ops impact comes from influence, and influence comes from empathy and showing the benefit of what you are putting out. "

" Being true to our humanity and morality lets us better ourselves and our teammates. "

" If design ops only serves designers, it risks silos; instead it must apply design thinking across R&D and product teams - Patrizia. "
