““Lead Designer. This person oversees the overall design of the game and is responsible for making sure that it is complete and coherent. She is the “keeper of the vision” at the highest and most abstract level. She also evangelizes the game to others both inside and outside the company and is often called upon to serve as a spokesperson for the project. Not all the lead designer’s work is creative. As the head of a team, she trades away creativity for authority, and her primary role is to make sure that the design work is getting done and the other team members are doing their jobs properly. A project has only one lead designer. •””
