Design
Team structure, Figma workflows, and design principles.
Building a design team
- Design reports directly to the CEO. No dilution by business needs.
- The design team is intentionally small. Every designer is hand-picked.
- Design is independent of product teams — a driving force, not an afterthought.
- Design is an engineering asset, as important as the engineering work itself.
- Great design is measured. Everything from design language to UI elements is deliberate.
Using Figma
- No two Figma files should have the same purpose.
- Each file is named after its purpose and sub-brand. e.g., "Skcript — FeatureOS — Web"
- Each artboard should be named and organized.
- No unnamed layers, groups, or artboards.
- No unused layers, groups, or artboards.
05
Customer Experience

To remember
- Every customer is human. They are full of emotions, and everyone is battling something.
- Every person deserves the highest level of empathy, respect, and kindness from you.
Emails
- No first-touch email should take more than 10 seconds to skim.
- Emails must fit one iPhone screen without scrolling.
- No abbreviations in emails.
Customer calls

- Call recordings are stored inside Skcript Web.
