Special: Overcoming imposter syndrome

Special: Overcoming imposter syndrome

Hey everyone! I was published in Smashing Magazine this week with an article titled "Overcoming Imposter Syndrome By Developing Your Own Guiding Principles", and thought that because it's a long article you may like to hear an audio version of it.

Let me know what you think 🙌

Special – An intro to design systems

Special – An intro to design systems

I was recently interviewed in Furquan Ahmad's YouTube channel about design systems and thought it would great to cross-post it to you all as it works just as well as a podcast. 

We discussed:

  • What they are in 10 words
  • What they aren't!
  • How to encourage adoption
  • Whether they limit creativity
  • Advice for junior designers getting started with them
  • Naming convention advice

Hope you enjoy this cross post 👋

After our episode, Charli and I had a great chat about the design industry, becoming a creative director and when we should or shouldn't educate others.

What are the questions?

What are the questions?

Our podcast is hotting up and coming very soon.

Every episode only asks 5 questions, so what are they?

Introducing 8px radio

It's time for a new podcast for creatives.

Rather than talking about case studies, our favourite grid systems, or design systems, let's find out a bit more about our favourite creatives.

I'll be asking just 5 questions, and keeping episodes nice and tight.
