Designer Talks Podcast
Designer Talks Podcast by the Chartered Society of Designers
So, a few weeks ago, I was asked by the Chartered Society of Designers if I wanted to tell my design story on their podcast.
I was flattered, the first female interviewee in this new series.
I then found out that not many female designers work in senior design positions. This news didn't shock me tbh, life gets in the way, and who tends to pick up life? Women.
But before you listen to this podcast, and I hope you do, I'd like to say one thing: the kindest thing you can do for yourself as a female creator is start your own business; this doesn't have to be big; it can be small (like my business), but what it does is give you the creative freedom to produce some quality work, AND support your dependents.
Only last week my Dad died, I was able to park the work and deal with life without permission from anyone else, and total support from the people I am working with.
So if you are a female creative and life is getting in the way, start your own creative business. It is very fulfilling.
I hope you enjoy the podcast; I enjoyed recording it. It was great to tell my design story as a graphic designer who works directly with the client and not in an agency, and I know I am fortunate to do this.
