What happens when the design dream meets reality?

Two junior designers with completely different backgrounds - Emily (graphic design to UX via NYC to London) and Amina (English teacher to product designer) - share their unfiltered journey into tech.

Spoiler alert: It's nothing like the bootcamp ads promised.

Join me, Frieda, and my co-host for this special episode Venessa, as we dive deep into the skills gap between education and industry, the truth about AI tools in design, and why soft skills are becoming the ultimate differentiator. From imposter syndrome to stakeholder management, this is the conversation every aspiring designer needs to hear.
