Motivation to Escape the Rut with Sophia Ahamed


Listen Later

At some point in your career you might get stuck in a rut. Stuck in a pattern doing the same thing day in, day out, without making any progress. But because change is hard, it’s easy to become comfortably unhappy, and let the days pass.

This is what happened to Sophia Ahmed. She was in a dead-end job, and at a low point in her life. But after dramatic personal life events she was pushed to reflect on her life, and so made the necessary changes to get out of that rut, and make a change for the better.

In this interview we discover how Sophia started Monograph&Co, her own design agency where she works with talented partners to provide the best possible design service. We also uncover how she left a dead-end job to start her own thing, the motivation needed to get out of a rut,  then end the discussion talking through her process for designing a brand identity.
