Content-first design is how-it-works-first design. Don't think about how it looks until you've nailed how it works.
Content designer: I don't want to put the meaning in the box. We don't need the box.
Whole-ass org: It puts the meaning in the box or it gets the hose again.
Hey guess what's true again this year, @figmadesign!?
You guessed it: no UX content title options.
Just signing up for Config and saddened to see 3 different types of designer — and absolutely no UX writer or content strategist listed in the role dropdown.

Republicans will tell you the solution is somehow more guns. On Nov 8, you need to tell them they’re full of shit.
Here's the thing about "content design" as a title:
It creates understanding thru established equivalency, i.e., by leveraging existing mental models
That's *great*. Classic content thinking at its finest.
The problem?
One does not simply "design content."
One designs "how people think about — and therefore use — products"
We're product strategists. Specialization: mental models.
