Episode 9 - Q&A Workplace Fit

Saison 1 · Épisode 9

mardi 17 juin 2025 • Durée 06:07

In this episode of Design Office Hours, I answer a deceptively simple question with very real consequences:
How do you choose the right workplace when you have options?

From evaluating team culture to listening to your gut, this episode walks through what to pay attention to—especially when two jobs look equally good on paper.

Here's what I cover:

How to go beyond the job title and assess team dynamics
Smart questions to ask in interviews (hint: think about culture and conflict)
Why the comfortable job may not be where you grow the most
How to trust your gut—without losing perspective
The danger of choosing a brand name over actual fit

Whether you're a student choosing your first internship or a designer switching roles, this episode is a reality check for making thoughtful, aligned career choices.

Episode 8 - Q&A Personal projects in portfolios - or not?

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

mardi 3 juin 2025 • Durée 06:11

In this episode of Design Office Hours, I answer a question that opens up one of my favorite topics:
Should you include personal projects in your portfolio—and if so, how?

Short answer: yes. Longer answer: yes, but do it thoughtfully.

Here's what I cover:

Why personal projects can carry more weight than client or school work
How to set yourself a proper brief, constraints, and narrative
Why calling out a personal project as such actually strengthens its impact
How side projects can help you pivot industries or show passion for a niche
Real examples from past portfolios that stood out (and why)

Whether you're designing for fun on Saturdays, sketching between deadlines, or building toward a career shift, this episode offers insight on how to turn your self-driven work into an asset that speaks loudly.

Got something you're working on after hours? I'd love to hear about it.

Episode 7 - Q&A Promotion

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

samedi 24 mai 2025 • Durée 16:21

In this episode of Design Office Hours, I tackle a big, juicy question that hits home for a lot of designers:

How do you make a case for promotion—especially when your workplace doesn't have clear metrics?

If you're already doing the work of a senior designer but haven't gotten the title (or the raise), this episode walks through the mindset, strategy, and conversations that can help move things forward.

Here's what I cover:

Why doing the work is necessary—but not always enough
How to start a productive, ongoing dialogue with your manager
What to do if your company has no formal promotion structure
How to ask the right questions and track your growth
When (and how) to check your value on the job market
Why building your case for promotion is a professional growth moment—no matter the outcome

Whether you're in a studio, agency, or corporate design team, this episode is full of real-world insight on navigating the promotion conversation with confidence and clarity.

Episode 6 - Q&A Burnout Prevention

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

vendredi 16 mai 2025 • Durée 25:33

In this episode of Design Office Hours, I answer a question that comes up more often than you'd expect:

"What helps you prevent burnout or manage stress when designing?"

If you're in design school, just starting your first job, or feeling like you're running on fumes, this one's for you.

Here's what I cover:

How staying organized helps you gain clarity and calm
Why context is the antidote to overwhelm
The power of non-design hobbies (and yes, I talk about cycling uphill)
Why meditation is like tuning your mental operating system
The role of people: mentors, managers, classmates, and your personal "kitchen cabinet"
What changes when you move from school to work—and how to adapt without overextending

Burnout is real. And while design can be intense, it doesn't have to break you. These are strategies I've lived and learned—some the hard way.

Episode 5 - Q&A Hero shots, How many projects & Elevate your work

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

samedi 10 mai 2025 • Durée 08:40

In this episode of Design Office Hours, I answer three practical portfolio questions I've been asked many times—and I'm giving straight answers to help you level up how your work is seen.

Here's what I cover:

Should your first image be a hero shot or a detail shot?

→ It depends. But make sure your first impression actually communicates what the project is—and why it matters.
How many projects should you show?

→ There's no magic number. But not every project needs equal airtime. Show what's strong. Be intentional. Keep it tight.
How do you make your portfolio elevate your work instead of taking away from it?

→ Good design deserves good presentation. Typography, layout, and photo quality all matter—maybe more than you think.

Whether you're building your first PDF or refining your personal site, this episode is all about making thoughtful choices that support (not distract from) your work.

Episode 4 - Q&A Best platform to upload your portfolio

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

mercredi 7 mai 2025 • Durée 12:10

In this episode of Design Office Hours, I answer a practical question I hear often:

What's the best platform to upload your design portfolio?

There are more options than ever—Behance, Coroflot, Instagram, your own site—and they each serve different purposes. So in this episode, I break down how to think strategically about your online presence and what to prioritize when applying for jobs.

Here's what I cover:

The strengths and limitations of platforms like Behance, Coroflot, and Instagram
Why your own website is still the most powerful (and often overlooked) tool
Why PDF portfolios still matter—especially when hiring managers are short on time
How to use your portfolio platforms together like an orchestra, not in isolation
What not to share publicly from projects you have done at a company

Whether you're applying for your first job or looking to level up your portfolio presence, this episode will help you build a smarter, more professional digital footprint.

Episode 3 - Q&A Some things for your portfolio part 2

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

lundi 28 avril 2025 • Durée 09:08

In this episode of Design Office Hours, I'm continuing the conversation on building a strong design portfolio — adding more ideas to the original question:

What are the main things to focus on when putting together a portfolio?

If you missed the first part, check the show notes for a link to Episode 1.

Here's what I cover today:

Why you should customize your portfolio for each opportunity (and how to do it without starting from scratch)
How prototyping — even rough, low-fidelity work — builds credibility and shows how you think
How to showcase your role in team projects and why collaboration skills matter as much as design skills
Why being honest about your contribution in a team setting makes you stand out

Whether you're in school, applying for internships, or building your early design career, these are the kinds of details that hiring managers notice — and remember.

Episode 2 - Q&A Do's and Don'ts in your portfolio

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

samedi 19 avril 2025 • Durée 09:29

In this episode of Design Office Hours, I'm answering one of the most common questions I get from students and young designers:

What are the DOs and DON'Ts of a strong design portfolio?

I've seen a lot of portfolios—and I've hired a lot of designers—so I'm breaking down the key things I look for and the pitfalls I see all too often.

Here's what I cover in this episode:

Why explaining your process is more important than just showing the end result
How to highlight your decision-making, your reasoning, and what you learned
The importance of clarity—don't make people guess what your project is about
Why your portfolio shouldn't be a glossy render show
How to communicate more with less using visuals and infographics
Tips for using your portfolio real estate wisely, both in PDFs and on websites

This is the second episode in a mini-series on portfolios, and I'll be sharing more in upcoming episodes. If you're building or refining your portfolio right now, I hope this gives you some practical insight (and a bit of tough love too).
