DESIGNING ACROSS TIMEZONES
Remote design teams face unique challenges. After 5 years leading distributed teams, these are the frameworks and rituals that actually work.

Rituals That Work
Async-first documentation — every decision gets written down immediately.
Overlap window discipline — we protect a 2-hour overlap window religiously.
The weekly visual sync — 30 minutes, no agenda, just sharing what you are working on visually.
The Myth Worth Killing
Distributed teams can have design culture. It just has to be more deliberate.
