Being a good junior designer rarely involves having a resume filled with prestigious internships, a flashy portfolio that gets tons of attention, or being an influencer with thousands of followers. It’s about being committed to mastering the fundamentals. Seeking feedback and wisdom from experienced designers. Developing an opinion and taste. Embracing the learning curve. Gradually building a body of work that speaks volumes. Remember, if you're focused on the core skills, you're already on the right path. Keep pushing forward, the rewards are just around the corner. ——— What does being a junior designer mean to you?

Struggling to land a summer internship? 🤯 Forget Fitting In, Design Your Own Career🧚🏻♀️ That's exactly where design management comes in! But for many, this field remains a mystery.🔮 Here's the thing: Design management isn't just about making things pretty (though aesthetics matter!). It's about strategically using design tools in researching the gap between creativity and business, and bridging it with innovation☀️ We translate user needs into actionable plans, manage design teams, and ensure design has a seat at the table for important decisions.🤩 My Struggle: Finding a Summer Internship👩🏻💻 Recently, I felt the sting of this lack of awareness firsthand. As a design management student, landing an internship proved surprisingly tricky. Recruiters often struggled to grasp what this "design management" thing even was.🙆🏻♀️ The lesson? 💁🏻♀️ More than just a mere application, going that extra mile to create a whole new vertical in companies that embrace this upcoming field seems to be transforming into my mission (gosh, that sounds heroic)🦸🏻♀️ We as aspiring design managers need to prioritize and do a better job of explaining the value design management brings to organizations across all industries. The idea is simple, go beyond the conventional boundaries and make place for yourself, rather than trying to fit into limiting job titles ⭐️ #designmanagement #careerdevelopment #summerinternships

I'm open to product design internship roles, if you come across anyone, please, tag me. #productdesign #uiux #uiuxdesigner #uiuxdesigning

The systemic issues within the design industry run deep. I love what Ana Rita Morais is doing to bring to light the inequalities that designers often face and must adhere to in order to begin their careers. The risk for entry becomes high as designers are forced to trade off financial stability/safety for the acceptance into these work environments. I've been talking to a lot of designers lately who are struggling right now and are willing to "take any position available" in order to stay in this industry. We talk about how they can navigate the design industry, differentiation beyond portfolios, understanding business, and, what I think is currently ignored - learning how to build a sustainable career for themselves. One where they don't have to compromise their financial security, mental health or creative health in order to find a meaningful place for themselves in this field. #design #equityandinclusion #representationmatters #career

🌟 My Journey to Writing a Master’s Thesis at Specific Companies 🌟 Ever since I stepped into my UX master’s program, I had two crystal-clear goals: Try to keep working while studying Write my thesis at companies I admired. It wasn’t just a dream; it was my roadmap (Refer to the pic; my figjam file written 2 years ago) Here’s how I turned that dream into reality: 1. Early Integration ⏰ Upon moving to Stockholm for my studies, I immediately sought part-time internships, successfully securing positions at two companies while juggling my coursework during the first year. 2. Elevating the Experience 🚘 My third semester was a breakthrough, landing a paid UX internship at Volvo Cars. This was a significant step towards immersing myself in a larger organizational context. 3. Thesis Collaboration 🗣 With Volvo Cars firmly in my sights for my thesis, I leveraged my internship to explore opportunities within the company. I have knocked the door at different teams and people. After 20 fikas within the company, I eventually have secured a position to conduct my thesis research there. And here I am, still on this adventure. 🌠 People keep asking me for tips on finding industry opportunities while studying, so I thought I’d share my journey. If you’re dreaming big, keep pushing forward. You’ve got this! 💪 #ThesisAdventure #DreamsIntoReality

The design industry is full of surprises! Recruiters often give the same design assignment to interns and senior designers during the hiring process. Interestingly, it's not uncommon for the intern to outperform the more experienced designers. Have you ever experienced this irony in your field? #design #recruitment #interns #seniordesigners
