  3. Can you design content on your own?

    I’ve recently worked as the only content person in a new digital team - the first time digital skills had been embedded in the organisation. While I was there I started thinking about whether ‘proper’ content design can be done with only one content person. What I mean by proper content design is taking a user-centred, bottom up iterative approach, as opposed to more traditional writing roles. If you’re the only content specialist do you inevitably end up working more as a copywriter or editor?
