In today’s episode, I speak with Mig Reyes, Product Design Manager at Instagram that helps bring the world closer to people and things they love. As a passionate supporter of the design community, Mig, together with his team, tirelessly works to improve the simplicity and craft of Instagram wherever you may find it.  Mig is the president emeritus of AIGA Chicago and founded the Chicago chapters of Creative Mornings.  We dive into the importance of self-awareness, how it is necessary when building high-functioning design teams, how self-awareness leads to higher productivity, collaboration and growth, and how you can start to contribute to a culture of self-awareness.

Mig Reyes: You can’t build a strong design team and culture without self-awareness

Mig Reyes is a writer and traditionally trained graphic designer who found himself designing for the web before the UI and UX designers were common job titles. In addition to being the co-president of AIGA Chicago, he's formerly worked at Tock, Basecamp, and Threadless, really blazing a trail of beautiful spaces and experiences on the web. Now Mig is taking his talent and experience to Trunk Club as a design lead. On this episode of Well Made, Stephan talks to Mig about his role in the conception of these iconic web companies, and how he sees the role of the designer evolving. Visit the Lumi Blog for examples of Mig's work and highlights from the episode.
