We got in touch with our amazing #ContentbyDesign panellists @Amy_Hupe, @awelfle & @amythibodeau to answer your big questions that we didn't have time for at the event.
Thank you so much for your fantastic answers -

This seems to have generated the monthly discussion on what is Content design vs UX writing vs Content strategy vs Information design etc.
Just to be clear, I’d be delighted if most design system teams hired literally any kind of content specialist at all.
I've just published: Why design systems need content designers, based on a talk I did at @clearleft's Content by Design earlier this year.
TL;DR - hire content designers

Over 200 participants from 26 different countries gathering for 20 hours of learning from 16 content heroes!
Thank you so much to this amazing community and to @Minette_78 for your curation and hosting.
Here's our #contentbydesign wrap video:
We’re thrilled to announce that superhero Sashoy has sailed through her first 3 months here at Clearleft. It was an incredibly busy start time with #uxfest & @ContentbyDes. But she has not only brought bucket loads of organisation, process and ideas but been a joy to work with 🌟
"One of the speakers mentioned plugins for Figma so help guide writing – please can you share more on this?"
@hashbridge an unresolved question for you from #ContentByDesign
Todays #ContentByDesign talks from @elainetall and @candiwrites were pure TONIC for every self-doubting, perfectionist solo content designer out there. Amazing tips on making an impact as a solo CD and working through those self-imposed high expectations! Where's that prosecco?
I loved how many speakers at @ContentbyDes#ContentByDesign introduced themselves with their pronouns. Inclusivity seems to be a natural trait of content designers. I *love* it.
Our last workshop at #ContentbyDesign is with our fantastic host & curator @Minette_78 Content Ops @bt_uk.
Rachel's ideation workshop has taken us through a content-led design process, starting with a conversation, ending with a fully designed wireframe.

Just got a therapy session from @candiwrites 😂
As content designers we strive for perfection.
BUT:
- nothing is ever complete
- perfect does not exist
- 'better than before' is OK
- so much is beyond our control
- it's not all up to you
- you're amazing
#ContentByDesign
Sad #ContentByDesign is over! But I'm left feeling so energised, inspired and connected ♥️
Highlights:
@Amy_Hupe preaching content-driven design systems
@candiwrites helping us embrace imperfection
@hashbridge's strategy for building a culture that cares about content
👏 all!
Enjoying this workshop on a conversation-first approach to design on the #ContentByDesign conference with @Minette_78 using a nice example of buying a cinema ticket from user and biz perspective. Quite looking forward to trying this out at work! #ContentDesign@clearleft
