Episode 10: A year of Challenges, Growth and Wins
<p>Some of the most inspiring and empowering conversations occur among a group of people when they have formed their friendship based on their shared goals of making a positive impact through the work they do and the community they’re building. Join me in a fun and reflective conversation with my two badass friends, Caterina Rizzoni and Lindsay Meletesta as we reflect on a year of challenges, growth and wins navigating our design career and activism work, as well as how our friendship has continued to empower us to become a better version of ourselves.</p>

Episode 09: Identity in Design
<p>How might one’s identity and cultural background shape the way someone approaches their design, and how might community building help strengthen and evolve one’s design philosophy? In this episode, my dear friend Ana Mengote Baluca, a designer, educator and activist, joins me in a conversation to talk about how she uses design as a medium to weave culture, history, and philosophies to create impactful products and solutions, and how community building plays an active role in the work she does. Ana’s recent pop-up exhibit “Bagay at Buhay”, curated with culturally defining yet seemingly insignificant objects for Filipinos in the diaspora, was an enriching and thought-provoking experience for anyone who seeks to further explore and connect with their identities through untold stories and unrecognized artifacts. Ana also shares how she has found her voice and value in design by continuing to challenge the Eurocentric design standard, and how she has established more equitable practice by taking on an independent journey through her creative agency “lowercase innovation”.</p>

Episode 08: Finding the job you love
<p>The pandemic has triggered many people to reassess their current work and life, resulting in nearly a third of the people in the U.S. looking for a new opportunity that feels more aligned with their values and beliefs in the last year and a half. Changing jobs is never an easy transition, and it can be overwhelming to evaluate whether your next job is a better fit. In this episode, our friend of the pod, Hanya Moharram, a UX Designer and Design Researcher at Nava, joined the conversation with me to discuss how we each navigated our career transition—from deciding to look for a new opportunity to assessing whether this opportunity is the right opportunity, to actually accepting the job offer and getting to know our new jobs and companies. Most essentially, we discussed the importance of having a diverse and inclusive culture, and how it will make you feel integrated, supported and valued regardless of your backgrounds and your level of experiences.</p> <p>If you’re someone who’s currently looking for some changes in your career, I hope this episode will provide you with some insights on how to navigate this journey and feel empowered to take the leap of faith to find your next opportunity.</p>
