DesignReport
Our second annual report shares highlights about our organization, the work we've done for customers, our local communities, and the design community at large.
Organization
While we recognize that there are differences in each team’s skills, there are also similarities in what makes a “designer” of any profession, a designer. As a department, we want to steward and attract designers that add to Liferay’s culture.
The Design Department is comprised of three teams; Communication, Product, and Research. Each of those teams determines the skills required to be a designer on that team. These skills should be relevant to the market and also reflect the ways in which we’re adding value to the company.

The team gets stronger each year as we embrace new additions, celebrate anniversaries, and gain more experience.
Design Careers
We designed and implemented a dual-track career path, one for people management and one for individual contributors.
Underground Writing
This year Design for Life(ray) served Underground Writing, an organization that runs creative workshops that empowers personal transformation in migrant, incarcerated, recovery, and other at-risk communities through literacy.
Liferay designers spent some time at the end of the year to give Underground Writing a top to down make-over. This included a brand new website, completely revamped tech stack, and service design optimizations.

2019 was a big year for design work in Liferay's Global Services Department. We contributed to countless RFPs and created designs for some big clients. Most of it is very hush-hush, but as the projects get developed we'll share more.
Design at Scale
We developed and launched our global design handbook with contributions from designers in Los Angeles, Madrid, and Recife. Our 2020 goal is for everyone in the department to contribute in some way!

Thank you for a great year
Design at Liferay is maturing and growing at an amazing rate. From Communication, to Product, to Research — all of our departments are finding new ways to contribute to the bottom line.
We have lofty goals for 2020 and I'm very excited to see us continue to scale and serve each other, our various business units, and our local and global communities.
Thank you all.
