Five things working at Thoughtworks has taught me about remote design

I live in Oakland. At the beginning of March this year, the State of California ordered residents to shelter-in-place and work from home if possible. Before the lockdown, I worked remotely on two distributed teams. I was an experience designer on these teams managing the user testing, user adoption and design recommendations for feature development across both teams remotely. Parts of my team was in North America, parts in India. Working from home was more or less the norm in this case. But that's not true for everyone.  Flash forward to the present.
