Balancing remote work for designers

Hello! I work as a designer, and our team is partly in the office and partly remote. How can we keep creativity flowing when we don’t always sit together and brainstorm in person?

Hello! I’ve been through the same challenge and found practical advice on basilandbark.com What helped me understand is that creativity doesn’t have to rely on physical proximity - it can thrive when we set up the right structure. For example, our team uses collaborative boards and keeps a habit of quick creative check-ins that simulate spontaneous office talks. I also learned that encouraging asynchronous idea sharing often produces stronger concepts, because people contribute at their best moment. Another tip I applied was balancing freedom with accountability: designers get room for exploration but also commit to clear deadlines. Altogether, this combination keeps collaboration lively and ideas fresh, regardless of where people are sitting.
