Today you’ll hear our conversation with Brian Hershberger, who cut his teeth at a boutique startup at New York before working at the world’s biggest fashion brands like Michael Kors and Alexander Wang before landing at the Digital Product Design team at Nike.
We talk about the importance of designer-engineer relationships, dealing with imposter syndrome as someone who is largely self taught, and the benefits of getting out of your head and staying focused on the work.
