Join me in a quick recap of my experience at Config2024, Figma's conference for people who build products. At around the 30 minute mark I've added interviews I did while at the conference with some people in line, Rogie from Figma, and a few Utah peeps! Overall it was such a good time. It's important to keep perspective, stay excited about the future, and work hard. This conference revitalized my passion for design and I'm so glad I got the opportunity to go. How many times did I say "fantastic" or "awesome" in this episode?? Too many.

Bless you all for listening. XOXO

This week I talk with Mitchell Clements about his experience being a design manager, how to get more experience in the areas you want to focus on in your career, and the good and bad of portfolios. Mitch's perspective on the hiring process, team building, and having fun building out a portfolio was so nice to hear. He's a loud voice in the design community and I'm glad we got a minute to chat.

This we I talk to Alex Vaughn about her journey being a designer in corporate America. We talk design philosophies, how to do more work that you love doing, and staying weird while doing it. We poke a bit of fun at agencies, but we love them nonetheless. Alex believes in the importance of creativity and thinks designers should run the world. Honestly, I couldn't agree more.
