Tips for my younger design self🙂

Hey designers, there are a tonne of things I have gone through the hard way,which I would like to share that hopefully you will learn from. Check out my medium for a summary of the pointers if you want to brush through the pointers.But the biggest takeaway: It takes time,be patient with yourself. I apologize for the background noise.

The digital divide

We are not all from the same background and environment,we don't all have the same approach and basic assumptions, especially about tech and digitization. In this episode we learn more about this.

What's going on after settling into 2023

We started with some mad vibes,but the unemployment thing kicked in and it's just been foggy.Decided to spill the beans and tell my truth about what's really going on.It's a me episode,I did it for me to be honest. Wonder if you've gone through the same,or are going through the same.Nonetheless,I hope you listen in and learn a thing or two.Note:-I lost the flow of the conversation at some point,my bad. ADPList is a fantastic mentoring platform,one of the best I've used.It required me to have questions and straight to the point whereas I'd prefer organic meandering and fruitful conversations.So that's why I had reservations.It's a fantastic platform,it's allowed me to talk to senior designers, something that I never thought would be possible.

New year,new vibes...listen to find out what we are taking into 2023 and what we are leaving behind.Self talk by shad helmstetter is the book I referred to somewhere during the episode.

The things I'm learning the hard way

Unscripted as usual, something I forgot to share in the episode,no one owes you anything and the insecurity of people having more than I do will pop up,yeah it eventually did and I'm dealing with that👍🏼... positively I might add.Check this out and more that I had to learn along the way and km dealing with in survival mode ie.taking it a day at a time,no goals,no dreams... don't feel sad though,we don't know what the future holds,right?
