30 Things I've Learnt In My Career (Happy 30th To Me!)

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.

In this episode, we are speaking all about my dance journey! Something a little different to the usual design/business hustle episodes. The premise of this podcast originally was to speak ALL about creativity as a whole and naturally, I have done a lot of chatting about design and business so we are taking it back to my dance days for this one and how it was a base for my social media journey, creativity and educating others!
