Design is a rewarding, yet challenging discipline. And getting started in such a fast-paced, fast-changing industry can prove to be nerve-wracking.
So we developed Design Alley, a series of FREE webinars aimed at students, recent grads and fresh freelancers. Design Alley is here to fill the gaps between what they teach you in school, and what actually happens in on the job.
The design industry is constantly changing. New trends, fancy tools, and ever-evolving design patterns can make it hard for new designers to keep up. Worse, in trying to stay on top of it all, we might actually burn out.
Join the “Design Alley” as we talk about dealing with imposter syndrome, avoiding burnout and staying inspired.

Join the “Design Alley” as they share their experiences and backgrounds on how they got started in their roles, how they established their careers early on, and what their thoughts are on mentorship and networking.
Join the “Design Alley” as they discuss how to present design work, from portfolios and case studies to client work and internal designs. They will share their experiences around public speaking and give advice on how to provide effective design rationale to non-designers.
Join the “Design Alley” as we discuss the importance of cross-team collaboration. Where do you fit into an existing organization? How does the design process dovetail into other processes? How do you best work with developers, project managers and others?
Design school probably left a few things out. Sure, it can give you a formal education in design, and a decent handle on modern software and technical skills. But once you enter the workforce, you may find that these “hard”, or “tangible” skills aren’t all you need to succeed.
Turns out, design skills are only half the challenge. And as you progress, these so-called “soft skills” start to matter more and more. Join “The Alley” as we talk about the soft skills that can help you level up in your career.
