A unicorn designer with imposter syndrome & self-identification issues

1
I've made a lot of mistakes in my career (and it brings me joy when I can help others avoid them)
2
I've been managing design teams for over a decade, and I'm still scared that I'm not doing it right
3
I'm proud of the projects I launched.
I'm equally proud that I stopped a lot of others from happening
4
I have a proven track record in UX, Product Design, Branding, Communication, Marketing, and almost any other kind of design → hence self-identification crisis
5
I enjoy product work the most, but I'm obsessed with having a coherent brand experience overall

If you could only read 5 bullet points

  • collaboration over competition. always
  • how is more important to me than what. life is too short not to enjoy what you do and people around you
  • chasing puzzles and helping people are two of my favorite things
  • use design to solve business problems, not design problems
  • always hungry for impact

Findings

These are some books and materials I like to share these days.
And an oldie but a goodie. True nerd content that I find extremely inspiring — Stanford course on Human Behavioral Biology by Robert Sapolsky (available to anyone on youtube).

Mentorship

I'm happy to help struggling designers or product folks, particularly people making a career switch or changing their country or cultural context.

Currently, I'm fully booked for long-term arrangements, but you can always shoot me a message if you have a specific question or need advice.
