Are We Having Fun Yet? Strategies for A Design Career
2025 didn’t kill the design career… but the situation does feel so much more challenging. Burnout, constant adaptation, and quiet exhaustion have become part of the job.
In this session, Rodney Echols explores how designers can build resilience, practice shifts in mindset, and practice making work lovable, sustainable, and even enjoyable work again. Expect clarity, energy, and ideas you can actually use Monday morning!
This is an online event.
