Breaking into Design

Thinking about moving into design but not sure where to start, what skills actually matter, or whether your background is even a fit? I get it, there's a lot of noise out there, and most of it is generic.

In this session, I'll give you a clear, practical picture based on what I actually see as a design manager who screens and interviews design candidates regularly:

👉🏼 What the day-to-day of a design role actually looks like

👉🏼 The skills and experience that genuinely move the needle for someone breaking in, including from non-design backgrounds

👉🏼 How to translate your current experience into something a hiring manager would take seriously

👉🏼 A realistic view of the path in, so you can decide if, and how, to pursue it

No fluff, no generic advice you could Google, just what I'd tell someone I was actually considering for a role.
