How do we both approach deadlines and time management?

How do we handle tasks?

What do our portfolios look like?
The importance of referrals and networking
What about paid for projects?
How do we feel about take-home assignments?
Should we apply in the style of the company you are targeting?

A response to an industry existential crisis


What does design mean to you/us?
Are designers artists?
The more senior you get the less you design
Work is mundane, should we just accept that? And stop hoping it will solve all our (creative) problems?
Are side projects actually the answer?
How can you keep scratching the artistic itch in a work environment
What we think is right isn’t necessarily what the business thinks is right

More bullet points are available on request.

Tune in to learn how Au was once paid €600 to not design a logo, or how Luis paid £3000 for a business that failed before it even started. Or maybe how Au messed up her friend's travel blog, or when Luis accidentally emailed his CEO some particularly blunt feedback.

It turns out that we've both lost jobs, been promoted to managers without wanting to, and had to make career switches with our backs against the wall.



Join us in this episode where we talk about our past experiences of bad career stuff happening and how we navigated it.



Bonus points to Au for using a quote from Frozen in here.
