The Social Ponies – Details, episodes & analysis

Who else better to recap Adobe MAX than with James Barnard! James and I were both lucky enough to be selected to speak at Adobe MAX 2023 so we thought we'd share how we got selected, our highlights, lowlights (if there were any!) and just reconnecting about an epic week. Enjoy!

Today's episode is a fun one! I frequently receive questions via Instagram DM about challenging situations that designers encounter with their clients. To shed light on these experiences and share my thoughts, I've compiled a list (curated by chatGPT!) that perfectly captures these scenarios. Trust me, they hit the mark. Whether you're a business owner or a freelancer, chances are you've encountered these situations at least once in your journey, and if not, you likely will. So, let's dive in and gain valuable insights on how to handle these sticky moments.

Noah is an absolute beast on TikTok with over 1 million followers and through his growth, has learnt a lot about how to sell yourself on social media, personal branding and even dealing with negativity around work. I loved chatting with Noah and I just know you'll love hearing this episode - enjoy.

Since starting my business I often get asked by university students to answer questions as part of specific papers they are taking. So I thought I'd pile the most commonly asked questions up and answer them in a podcast! I talk through everything from how I got started as a graphic designer, other jobs I've had in my career, passive income, being a woman in the industry, and so much more. Hope you enjoy it!
