## Control Room
_Orchestrating the robots_

Robocorp Control Room was the cloud platform for overseeing and managing software robots built with Python.

Design lead working with engineers and product managers in a fast-paced startup environment, shipping new features weekly.

The fully redesigned interface runs on the Robocorp Design System, and the design process was established across multiple engineering teams.

## Marketing for releases
_Beyond the product_

The design team had diverse talent and supported each other across product and marketing work; the release visuals received positive coverage in the media and across the startup ecosystem.

Robocorp was remote-first before the pandemic, so processes were lean from the start — speed and efficiency were the company core, a natural fit for a product about automation and productivity.

## What this role taught

A strong design culture can be built fast when releases ship weekly: establish the process, introduce it to every engineering team, and let the quality of development carry it.
