In this episode of Design Office Hours, I speak with Tim Hulford, designer, leader, and former Director of Industrial Design, VR Accessories at Meta.
We talk about:
Navigating early design roles and finding your footing under pressure
Building and leading design inside engineering-heavy environments like Intuitive
The transition from engineering-led to design-led organizations—and what that actually changes
How to sustain motivation during long product cycles or after a project is sunset
What shifts when you lead in times of crisis, not calm
Tim shares lessons from building surgical robots at Intuitive, leading Portal at Meta, and navigating career challenges and transformations along the way.
