Even though remote working is clearly on the rise, I’d recommend that you only set-up a remote team if you can’t have a co-located team. Having a part remote, part co-located team, such as a col-located development team and remote designer can also be tricky as the remote members of the team will often be left out of the conversation (as this will happen face-to-face) and can feel very isolated. I think that it’s usually better to either set-up a fully remote team, or have several mini co-located teams that collaborate remotely. For example, a co-located design team and co-located development team.
