Difficult Design Conversations: What they don't tell you
“Difficult Conversations in Design: What they don’t tell you” is all about lifting the lid on the realities of the design world: These are the stories that don’t always make it to case studies, Medium posts, or design portfolios—but they matter just as much.
This conversation digs into the parts of design no one really talks about—the unpolished, often uncomfortable, but very real side of working in product and design teams.
This isn’t a space for perfection or “how we nailed it” stories. Instead, it’s about being real, sharing nuance, and helping others feel less alone in the challenges they face at work and finding ways to get past it!
