pretty good first week - any of you have tips or advice being the only designer at a company?

Schedule + host a regular Design Sync or "Design Office Hours" where you can present in progress work, people can ask for help, discuss new requests, receive feedback, etc. Document your work as you go. Write up design/requirement docs as you design new features

Unless your company is really well staffed, designers usually get pulled into marketing design, sales decks, company merch, social media... and so on. Sometimes its good to learn stuff, but dont feel bad about not wanting to learn a new skill that isnt going to help you grow
