To celebrate Labour Day, I finished the design of @museandmate - a practice journal for seriously enthusiastic musicians. It’s 1 year+ of design labour. If production and shipping go as planned, it will be ready for sale around Christmas! A sneak peak 👇👀

Today we shipped one of the biggest projects I’ve worked on in my almost 6 years at Shopify:

Shopify Marketing Tools.

Everything (like, for real) you need to grow your email list and market to them, built right into Shopify.

[Winter Wei @winterwei]

To influence others and get alignment, someone has to be willing to go out of their comfort zone and intentionally ask what others care about and understand why they matter. It takes intention, humility, curiosity, and an genuine interest in seeing from a different perspective.

[Winter Wei @winterwei]

In craft-specific conferences, x-discipline collab is always a hot topic. #LeadDevLondon set a great example of getting the other disciplines to share their perspective directly. Thanks @TheLeadDev for trying this format, @jstanier and @janetbalneaves for the spicy discussions

[Winter Wei @winterwei]

During the office hour we got a lot of questions about how to even start bridging the gap between disciplines. We all want the other disciplines to appreciate what we do, designers and developers alike. But influencing doesn’t happen by accident.

@ShopifyEng @jstanier @janetbalneaves @winterwei @basha @thegalbash @thepreviewmode @NASAJPL Women in management are often over mentored and under sponsored! 💡

Be strategic - your journey will never be a straight path. Demonstrating leadership is the best route to leadership roles.

Seek challenges and cultivate your reputation for effectiveness
