Jaden addresses various questions related to the design industry, including the pros and cons of working in-house versus at an agency, how to build a winning portfolio, and the challenges of imposter syndrome. He emphasises the importance of understanding client needs, leveraging non-design backgrounds, and navigating multiple interests in design. Additionally, Jaden discusses pricing strategies for freelancers and shares his thoughts on current design trends.
