Mentorship! It could be an option

A quick conversation on what we believe mentorship is, why it could be helpful, and how to go about it.

Recently sort this from A-Z. A frustrating Product Manager story.

A quick story about working with a PM that almost drove me crazy. In hindsight, I don't know why it bothered me so much.

Working with good and bad product managers

I almost titled this "Designers vs Product Managers", because of the cliché of these two professions conflicts. But this is a bit more complicated. In this episode we talk about what a Product Managers role is, the great and bad ones, and how we can help make the relationship work... sprinkled with some rants.

The Uber of people

A crazy (yet common) startup story in Silicon Valley.

Startups! Red flags, green flags, what to look out for.

If you worked hard (with a bit pf luck on the side) and was able to get an interview at a startup, here are some things to look out for. Is it a good place to work? What red flags require a double-take? This can help you reject or take an offer, or at least go in fully informed if it's the only job you were able to land.

Burnout!!! Let's talk about it

Burnout is the workforce is real! It's not just you and you're not alone. Dealing with capitalism, infinite growth expectations, performance reviews, bonuses, hustle culture, a personal life, and maintaining physical health is just too much. There's a lot to talk about in this multifaceted and complicated subject, so.... let's talk and vent about it.

Do's and don'ts of a portfolio

We've had successful design portfolios lead to a job interview, and some that have massively failed. In this episode we go over why portfolios matter, and what to include and exclude. We also sprinkle some stories here or there as well.

Things to know about product design

Today we discuss the realities of the day-to-day life of a product designer, our personal pros and cons of the job, and even the different types of companies you could consider. Be informed and follow your heart!

Good enough

Ep 1 of our series Reality of a Designer. A place where we talk about the things they don't teach you in design class. In this episode we go over the who, what, and why of this series. We are learning as we go, but good enough is good enough. The most important thing is to get started.
