This is not your average design podcast.
This is the part after the brief. The part behind the beautiful logo.
This is the real, raw, voice-note-style space for creatives, freelancers, and especially women in design who are building a life—not just a portfolio.

Hosted by Nelett—graphic designer turned creative life mentor with over 25 years in the industry—BEYOND Design gently peels back the curtain on what really goes on behind the work:

The self-doubt. The burnout. The tiny wins that no one claps for.
The scary emails. The dream clients. The ones that ghost you.
The overthinking. The overdelivering.
The bravery it takes to do this with heart.

From a small studio in Namibia to working with international brands, this podcast is rooted in the belief that your GPS doesn’t define your greatness—your perspective does.

And design?
That’s only about 20% of it.

The rest—it’s your nervous system.
Your rhythm.
Your boundaries.
Your beliefs.
Your body.
Your God.

That’s the part no one talks about. So I am.

Each episode is a soft but powerful mix of honest stories, soulful lessons, mindset shifts, and heart-led guidance. For the creatives who want to work smarter, live slower, and create from a grounded, inspired place.

Expect messy truths.
Gentle reminders.
Practical takeaways.
Never preachy. Always personal.

It’s like a voice note from a friend who gets what it’s like to freelance with your whole heart.

Because you don’t need more noise.
You need someone to remind you:

✨ You’re not alone in this.
✨ You’re powerful.
✨ And you can design your life—your way.

So take a breath.
Make some tea.
And let’s go beyond design—together
