Welcome to the very first episode of The Design Pop! So...where should I start?

In this inaugural episode, I take a moment to reflect on my design career and share the valuable lessons I've learned along the way. As I delve into the topic of success, I ponder which skills have truly contributed to my achievements. For instance, could it be that figure skating, a passion nurtured by my Mom, has played a role in my current career path?

Join me as I delve into the importance of identifying our unique strengths as designers, and how leveraging these strengths can pave the way for success in our businesses. In today's episode, we'll explore the crucial role of self-awareness in design, and how recognizing our strengths can lead to creating meaningful and impactful work.

I'm your host, Alexandra Tseffos, and welcome to The Design Pop! I'm here to help you build a design career that you love by learning and understanding perspectives from within our industry. Whether you're a furniture enthusiast or just curious about growing and learning more to apply to your own career. I'm glad you're here.

Through my journey as a designer and trainer in the design community, discovered the importance of understanding dealer processes to effectively train and understand designers. Along the way, I noticed a common craving among designers for community, partnership, and validation. Now self-employed, I aim to raise awareness about frequently asked questions in the design community and explore topics such as the future of design, better collaboration between designers and salespeople or manufacturer reps, and what flexibility means to a designer. Join me as we harness the power of the design community to explore these important topics in the world of design.
