San Francisco–based designer Regan Baker joins the show to answer a question from a fellow designer whose five-person firm is going through some growing pains. She’s already brought on a senior-level hire who can run their own jobs with some creative oversight. Now, she’s wondering how she can get some of the junior employees on her team ready for the same level of responsibility. Baker offers advice on communicating a senior designer’s role to clients, the software she uses to track employee progress without micromanaging and how to delegate duties based on an employee’s strengths.
