"Design leadership: how to level up your design career" at Readymag
Twitter Spaces talk (June 6, 2023 at 10am PST)
It’s important for design leaders to keep developing their careers, and not get stuck at the same level. During this economy, we need to get more creative than ever.
I recommend receiving career coaching, contributing to the design community, building your online presence, evaluating career ladders, advocating for yourself effectively at work, and leveraging your network.
I will be covering these topics and more as a speaker at Readymag's Twitter Space. For more details, and to tune in on Twitter Spaces, go here.
UC Berkeley SCET Summer Venture Lab 2023
Speaker at Summer Venture Lab (June 20, 2023)
I will be a speaker at UC Berkeley's Summer Venture Lab hosted by the Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology. The Summer Venture Lab is a 6 week program that accelerates the trajectory of promising early stage startups founded by UC Berkeley undergraduate and graduate students.
I will share how I make my investment decisions, how teams can put their best foot forward, and what key metrics early stage startups should focus on with the 10 teams handpicked for the Summer Venture Lab.
University of Washington's DubsTech Protothon 2023
Judge at DubsTech Protothon (May 6 through May 7, 2023)
I will be serving as a judge for the University of Washington's DubsTech Protothon, an online UX hackathon. Hundreds of participants are anticipated to compete across three tracks: Classic, Enterprise, and AI. The event is hosted by UW student group DubsTech, which helps students advance their skills in UX and data science. Hackathons are a fun way for participants to learn new skills and collaborate with others in a team environment, while pairing out of the box thinking with pragmatism. I will apply my experience in judging numerous other past hackathons as a seasoned UX designer and design executive to the DubsTech Protothon entries.
Personal Branding session at DubsTech Protothon (May 6, 2023 at 12pm PST)
Personal Branding is essential for designers during the tough economic times of 2023. Whether you are a new graduate or experienced professional, you can give yourself the best chance at landing a fulfilling design job. During this session on Personal Branding, I will reveal how to brand and position yourself to stand out from a crowd of thousands of applicants – in a way that is authentic to you, but also in demand from employers who are more selective than ever. Hear tips and tricks for how to approach Personal Branding across many touchpoints including your resume, portfolio website, portfolio presentation, LinkedIn profile, social media, design community, professional network, and job applications. Learn how you can use your time to work on personal projects, freelancing, volunteering, and skill development. See what it means for you to differentiate from others and tell your story in an impactful way that resonates with hiring managers and recruiters.
